        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Motor Vehicle Transfer Fee (BBNKB) for used\nvehicles is no longer charged as a core cost. This policy is based on\nthe provisions of the Law on Financial Relations between the Central\nGovernment and Regional Governments (HKBM).<\/p>\n<p>It is important for members of the public purchasing second-hand cars\nor motorcycles to understand the abolition of BBNKB for used vehicles.\nAlthough the BBNKB II component is no longer collected, the vehicle\nownership transfer process is not entirely free, as administrative fees\nand other tax obligations still apply.<\/p>\n<p>Why is the BBNKB for used vehicles free?<\/p>\n<p>Based on Law Number 1 of 2022 concerning HKPD, the object of BBNKB is\nthe first delivery of a motor vehicle. This means that vehicles that\nwere previously registered and subsequently change ownership as used\nvehicles are no longer subject to BBNKB.<\/p>\n<p>This policy has been implemented in various regions. In DKI Jakarta,\nfor instance, the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) stated that used\nvehicles will officially be exempt from BBNKB starting from 5 January\n2025. Consequently, individuals purchasing used vehicles will not need\nto pay BBNKB II when undergoing the ownership transfer process.<\/p>\n<p>Although the BBNKB for used vehicles is free, it does not mean the\nentire administrative process at the Samsat (Motor Vehicle Registration\nOffice) is cost-free. New owners must still fulfil other obligations in\naccordance with regulations, including the payment of Motor Vehicle Tax\n(PKB) and administrative fees for the issuance of vehicle documents. The\namount of these fees may vary depending on the type of vehicle and the\nregistration region.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the term \u201cfree used vehicle transfer\u201d is more accurately\nunderstood as the exemption of the BBNKB II component, rather than the\ntotal cost of the administration.<\/p>\n<p>Requirements for used vehicle ownership transfer<\/p>\n<p>To manage the transfer of ownership, new owners need to prepare\nseveral documents. Bapenda DKI Jakarta lists several administrative\nrequirements that must be prepared, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Original ID card (KTP) and photocopy of the new owner.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Original vehicle registration (STNK) and photocopy.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Original vehicle ownership book (BPKB) and photocopy.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Proof of transaction or a vehicle sale and purchase\nreceipt.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Physical vehicle inspection results in accordance with Samsat\nregulations.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These documents should be ensured to be complete before visiting the\nSamsat to ensure the administrative process runs smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>How is the used vehicle transfer process conducted?<\/p>\n<p>In general, new owners must bring the vehicle for a physical\ninspection and then submit the required documents to the Samsat\nofficers. Once the vehicle data and documents are verified, the\nownership transfer administration continues according to the mechanism\nof the respective regional Samsat. The new owner then proceeds to pay\nthe remaining applicable obligations and waits for the issuance of\nvehicle documents with the updated ownership data.<\/p>\n<p>If the vehicle originates from a different region, the process may\ninvolve a mutation mechanism or additional administrative procedures\ndepending on the vehicle\u2019s origin and destination.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital for prospective used vehicle buyers to note that BBNKB\nand PKB are different types of levies. BBNKB relates to the transfer of\nvehicle ownership rights that are taxable objects under the regulations,\nwhereas PKB is a tax on the ownership and\/or control of a motor\nvehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Bapenda DKI Jakarta also emphasised that, under current provisions,\nthe object of BBNKB is the first delivery of a motor vehicle. Therefore,\nbuyers of used vehicles must still check the vehicle\u2019s tax status before\ncompleting a transaction.<\/p>\n<p>Does this apply throughout Indonesia?<\/p>\n<p>The abolition of BBNKB for used vehicles stems from national\nprovisions in the HKPD Law. However, the implementation of\nadministration and regional tax policies remains subject to the\nregulations of each regional government.<\/p>\n<p>As such, the public should check the latest provisions at the Samsat\nor Bapenda in the region where the vehicle will be registered. This is\nimportant because administrative fees, tax relief programmes, and\ntechnical procedures may differ between regions.<\/p>\n<p>For DKI Jakarta, Bapenda officially stated that used vehicles will no\nlonger be subject to BBNKB as of 5 January 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, while the Motor Vehicle Transfer Fee (BBNKB) for used\nvehicles is no longer charged as part of the BBNKB II tax component, new\nowners must still complete the ownership transfer administration and pay\nother applicable obligations. Therefore, before purchasing a used\nvehicle, ensure that the ID card, STNK, BPKB, proof of transaction, and\ntax status are all in order. This step can help avoid issues when\nperforming the transfer of ownership at the Samsat.<\/p>",
