This second phase of the program targets 636,662 tax objects with several relief schemes. The policy is expected to ease the burden on the public, increase regional revenue, and update vehicle ownership data.
East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa said the policy is not only aimed at easing the burden on taxpayers. It also encourages regional revenue and updates data on motor vehicle ownership.
“In this second phase we want to express our gratitude in connection with the 81st anniversary of the East Java Provincial Government, which will fall on 12 October,” said Khofifah, as quoted from the East Java Kominfo website on Thursday, 1 October 2026.
Targets 636,662 Tax Objects
In the second phase, the East Java Provincial Government projects that the program will be utilized by 636,662 tax objects. The value of tax exemptions is estimated to reach around Rp1.72 billion. Meanwhile, regional revenue is targeted to reach Rp272.19 billion.
Several facilities are provided under this program. The government is waiving administrative sanctions on Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and Motor Vehicle Title Transfer Fee (BBNKB). It is also waiving the imposition of progressive PKB.
Relief is also given to certain groups of taxpayers. Workers who own two-wheeled motorcycles receive a 20 percent reduction on principal PKB arrears for 2025 and previous years.
Meanwhile, PKB arrears for 2025 and previous years on two-wheeled motorcycles are fully waived for taxpayers listed in the P3KE or DTSEN data. The same policy applies to two-wheeled motorcycles used for online transportation and three-wheeled motorcycles.
“The third is to realize the accuracy of motor vehicle ownership data that has undergone a transfer of ownership rights,” she said.
