Estimated Costs for Changing Vehicle Ownership Without Middlemen

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The process of transferring ownership of used vehicles is now much simpler, as the government has abolished the Second Motor Vehicle Ownership Transfer Tax (BBNKB II) in several regions starting in 2025. Under the new regulations, vehicle owners only need to pay administrative fees, vehicle taxes, and SWDKLLJ contributions when handling the transfer for used cars or motorcycles. The Director of Registration at the Indonesian National Police Traffic Corps, Wibowo, emphasised that the public no longer needs to delay the ownership transfer process due to high costs. “The cost of ownership transfer is now zero. What needs to be paid is only the STNK, BPKB, TNKB, and taxes. BBNKB II has been abolished by law starting in 2025,” said Wibowo to Kompas.com recently. The following are the estimated costs for transferring motor vehicle ownership after the abolition of BBNKB II: Motorcycle [details not specified in source] Car [details not specified in source] These costs do not include the Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and SWDKLLJ, the amounts of which vary according to the type of vehicle and engine capacity.
