Embarking on a new vehicle purchase journey in 2025? Brace yourself for the array of taxes that come with it. From Pajak Kendaraan Bermotor (PKB) to Pajak Penjualan atas Barang Mewah (PPnBM), here’s a detailed breakdown of the taxes you’ll need to understand and prepare for.
1. Pajak Kendaraan Bermotor (PKB)
PKB is a tax levied on the ownership and/or possession of motor vehicles. As a provincial tax, its rates vary depending on the region. Here’s what you need to know:
- The maximum PKB rate for the first ownership is set at 1.2% (Undang-Undang No. 1 Tahun 2022), down from the previous maximum of 2%.
- In Jakarta, the PKB rate for personal vehicles is set at 2% for the first ownership, with a maximum of 6% for the fifth vehicle and beyond. For vehicles registered under businesses, the rate is also 2%.
2. Bea Balik Nama Kendaraan Bermotor (BBNKB)
BBNKB is a tax imposed on the transfer of ownership of motor vehicles due to agreements between parties, unilateral actions, or circumstances resulting from sales, exchanges, gifts, inheritances, or incorporations into business entities.
- The maximum BBNKB rate is set at 12% (Undang-Undang No. 1 Tahun 2022). However, for provinces not divided into regencies/cities, the maximum rate is 20%.
3. Pajak Pertambahan Nilai (PPN)
From 2025, PPN will be levied at a rate of 12% on luxury goods and services, including vehicles. This tax will replace the current Pajak Penjualan atas Barang Mewah (PPnBM) for motor vehicles.
4. Pajak Penjualan atas Barang Mewah (PPnBM)
PPnBM is currently imposed on luxury goods, including most types of motor vehicles, with varying tax rates. Motorcycles with an engine capacity above 250cc are also subject to PPnBM.
5. Biaya Administrasi STNK, TNKB, BPKB, dan SWDKLLJ
These fees refer to the administrative costs for obtaining and maintaining vehicle registration documents, as well as the compulsory motor vehicle third-party liability insurance (SWDKLLJ). Rates vary depending on the vehicle type and are regulated by the Ministry of Finance.
6. Opsen PKB
Starting January 2025, vehicles will be subject to Opsen PKB, a local tax imposed on the base PKB amount. The tax rate is set at 66% of the PKB liability. The calculation is as follows:
Opsen PKB = 66% x PKB liability
7. Opsen BBNKB
Similar to Opsen PKB, Opsen BBNKB is a local tax imposed on the base BBNKB amount at a rate of 66%:
Opsen BBNKB = 66% x BBNKB liability
Exceptions in Jakarta
It’s essential to note that Opsen PKB and Opsen BBNKB do not apply in Jakarta. Therefore, vehicle owners in the capital will not be subject to these additional taxes.
Stay informed and prepared for these upcoming changes in vehicle taxes to ensure a smooth and hassle-free vehicle purchasing experience in 2025.
