June 2026 Becomes Golden Moment! These 7 Provinces Open Vehicle Tax Amnesty and Clear Arrears

Good news for motor vehicle owners with tax arrears. Throughout June 2026, a number of regional governments are rolling out motor vehicle tax (PKB) amnesty programmes that offer various relief measures, ranging from the elimination of late payment penalties to the reduction or even write-off of outstanding vehicle tax.

This programme provides an opportunity for the public to renew their Vehicle Registration Certificates (STNK) at a lower cost. Besides easing the burden on taxpayers, the policy is also expected to improve public compliance in fulfilling vehicle tax obligations.

Based on compiled data, at least seven provinces in Indonesia are implementing vehicle tax amnesty programmes during June 2026. The details are as follows.

1. DKI Jakarta, Free from Late Payment Penalties

The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, through its Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda), is granting an exemption from administrative sanctions for Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and Vehicle Title Transfer Fees (BBNKB). The programme refers to the Decree of the Head of DKI Jakarta Bapenda Number e-0018 of 2026. Under this policy, taxpayers who are late in paying vehicle tax will not be charged late payment interest. The penalty exemption is granted automatically through the regional tax system without the need for an application. The programme runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 August 2026.

2. Central Java Offers Relief Until Year-End

The Central Java Provincial Government is presenting a number of vehicle tax incentives valid until December 2026. The programme includes a 5 percent reduction in the principal PKB, a reduction in administrative sanctions following the principal tax reduction, and a reduction in PKB principal arrears and administrative sanctions for tax periods starting from 5 January 2025. The relief is granted to vehicles that make motor vehicle tax payments. This policy is one of the longest-running amnesty programmes compared to other regions.

3. Lampung Writes Off Part of Arrears and Penalties

Lampung Province is also offering an attractive amnesty programme for vehicle owners with tax arrears of more than one year. The programme runs from 2 June 2026 to 31 August 2026. Facilities provided include: for those in arrears of one year or more, they only need to pay the current year’s PKB and 50 percent of the principal arrears for the first year, while the remaining arrears and all penalties are written off. There is also an exemption from penalties and progressive tax, a 25 percent discount on intra-regional transfer or title transfer for four-wheeled vehicles, a 50 percent discount on intra-regional transfer or title transfer for two-wheeled vehicles, a 50 percent discount on the first and second year PKB for vehicles transferred into Lampung, and a 5 percent to 25 percent discount for taxpayers who are compliant in paying their taxes.
