The West Java provincial government is offering a discount on annual motor vehicle tax payments in anticipation of the Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijri holiday. Vehicle owners who pay their taxes online between March 18 and March 24, 2026, will receive a 10 percent discount.
Easing Financial Burdens
West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi stated the program is intended to ease financial pressure on residents during the holiday season. He suggested that paying taxes during this period could be more beneficial than spending all available funds on Eid celebrations, saying, “Rather than spending all your money on Lebaran, This proves better to pay your taxes and receive a 10 percent discount.”
Payments can be made through the Sapawarga application and SIGNAL (Samsat Digital Nasional). Samsat kiosks at main offices across West Java will also remain open during the holiday to serve travelers.
Digitalization of Tax Services
Governor Mulyadi indicated that the digitalization of tax services is designed to allow residents to fulfill their obligations outside of regular office hours. Residents are encouraged to update their Sapawarga application or contact the West Java hotline at 082126030038 for assistance with online payments.
The provincial government anticipates the initiative will not only improve compliance but also serve as an incentive for residents to maintain the legal status of their vehicles at a reduced cost.
