The Jakarta Provincial Government has expanded access to paying the Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) through various convenient, fast, and easily accessible payment channels. Amid high mobility among Jakarta residents, ease of accessing public services has become increasingly important.

Therefore, PBB-P2 payments no longer require visiting tax service offices. Taxpayers can now settle their obligations anytime and anywhere as needed.

Through partnerships with banks, fintech companies, and modern payment providers, residents can pay PBB-P2 via multiple channels including mobile banking, internet banking, ATMs, marketplaces, and modern payment outlets.

Morris Danny, Head of the Revenue Data and Information Centre at the Jakarta Provincial Government’s Tax Agency, said the expanded payment channels are part of efforts to make local tax services more responsive to public needs.

“With more payment channels available, taxpayers can settle PBB-P2 more easily and efficiently. The hope is that residents can meet their tax obligations on time without being hindered by distance or time,” Morris Danny said on Saturday (30 May 2026).

This convenience addresses residents with busy schedules and time constraints. The flexible payment process allows taxpayers to settle PBB-P2 without long queues or adjusting to office hours.

Beyond convenience, the expanded payment channels aim to improve public compliance with local tax obligations. With easier access, tax payments can be made faster, safer, and more comfortably.

However, paying PBB-P2 is not merely an administrative duty. The taxes paid by residents play a crucial role in supporting development and improving public services in Jakarta.

Local tax revenue is a key funding source for city needs, including road construction and maintenance, sidewalk repairs, park management, public sports facilities, improved education and healthcare services, and integrated public transport development.

Moreover, local tax revenue supports priority programmes such as flood mitigation, waste management, drainage improvements, street lighting, education subsidies, and healthcare assistance for residents.

Thus, each PBB-P2 payment by residents translates into shared benefits. Today’s tax payments are an investment in creating a more comfortable environment, better public services, and a more livable city.

The Jakarta Provincial Government continues efforts to optimise sustainable local tax revenue collection. This includes not only system and service improvements but also raising public awareness of taxes’ significant role in building Jakarta.

Residents are urged to check their PBB-P2 bills and utilise available payment channels. With the streamlined process, PBB-P2 payments can now be completed in just minutes.

Through this improved service, the Jakarta Provincial Government hopes for increased tax compliance. Paying PBB-P2 on time allows residents to contribute to building a more modern, inclusive, and prosperous Jakarta for all.
