        "summary": "Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has clarified that the new regulations on electric vehicle (EV) taxation do not alter the overall tax burden but merely shift the collection mechanism. Under the new Home Affairs Ministerial Regulation No. 11 of 2026, EVs are no longer exempt from motor vehicle tax (PKB) and motor vehicle transfer tax (BBNKB), though local governments retain the flexibility to provide incentives such as exemptions or reductions, potentially resulting in zero tax in some regions. This adjustment aims to refine fiscal schemes while supporting the adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) through varied regional policies.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that\nthe new regulations on electric vehicle (EV) tax do not change the total\ntax amount, but only shift the collection scheme. \u201cActually, the total\n(tax) is the same, nothing has changed. It\u2019s just shifting from one\nplace to another,\u201d said Purbaya to reporters during a media briefing at\nthe Ministry of Finance office in Jakarta on Tuesday. The new regulation\nin question is the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri)\nNo.\u00a011 of 2026, which sets the amount of vehicle tax, including\nbattery-based electric vehicles (KLBB) or battery electric vehicles\n(BEVs). The Finance Minister explained that the previous regulations\nincluded certain incentives, such as import subsidies or other schemes.\nIt is this scheme that is being adjusted in the new regulation. However,\non a net basis, the tax burden on electric vehicles remains the same\ncompared to the previous mechanism. He guaranteed that the changes\nreflect an adjustment to the fiscal scheme, not an addition or reduction\nin total collections. \u201cThe net tax is unchanged compared to the previous\nscheme,\u201d Purbaya explained. In Permendagri 11\/2026, electric vehicles\nare no longer objects excluded from motor vehicle tax (PKB) and motor\nvehicle transfer tax (BBNKB). In other words, ownership or transfer\nremains subject to taxation. This means that electric cars are still\nsubject to tax under the regulations, but the amount of tax paid is not\nalways full and can even be zero rupiah, depending on regional policies.\nThe imposition of tax is not absolute. The central government still\nprovides room for incentives in the form of exemptions or reductions, as\nregulated in Article 19. The amount of such incentives is left to each\nregional government. Therefore, electric vehicle tax policies going\nforward will no longer be uniform and may vary between regions.<\/p>",
