Temanggung — Temanggung Regent Agus Setyawan has announced that under the amended local regulation regarding regional taxes and user charges, a minimum allocation of 20 per cent from motor vehicle tax revenues will be earmarked for road infrastructure improvements. He expressed hope that this policy would accelerate road quality repairs across various areas in Temanggung Regency, thereby supporting the smooth functioning of community activities and regional economic growth.

“Since this regulation is binding, a minimum of 20 per cent of motor vehicle tax revenues will be allocated for road infrastructure improvement and rehabilitation,” he stated following a plenary session at the Temanggung District Parliament on Friday, 27 February 2026, which discussed the amendment to regional regulation number 12 of 2023 on regional taxes and user charges.

The regent expressed gratitude and appreciation to the Special Committee of the District Parliament for their thorough work in discussing the draft amendment to the regulation on regional taxes and user charges.

The regent stated that the local government is targeting full and optimal implementation of various provisions in the amended regulation by 2027, particularly those related to user charge collection and optimisation of regional tax and user charge revenues.
