JAKARTA: The Jakarta administration said it had no authority
to stop luxury automobiles on the public highway even if the
owners had failed to pay the requisite city taxes on the
vehicles.

"We cannot stop such cars as the documents are not issued by
the administration, but rather the city police," the city's
revenue agency head Deden Supriadi said this week.

The agency earlier announced that it had secured Rp 503
billion out of its target of Rp 750 billion from taxes on luxury
cars.

A non-governmental organization, the Anti-Luxury Car Movement
(GAMM), suggested on Saturday that the administration would be
better off checking for illegal luxury cars rather than cracking
down on becak (pedicabs) and street traders.--JP.
