Vehicle tax is currently one of the revenues that regional governments are fixing so that its flow runs smoothly.Various local governments have implemented a strategy of being willing to write off tax principal for years of tax arrears so that owners are willing to pay off current tax bills.
This initiation was first carried out by the West Java government, but now the program is no longer valid.
For several other areas, there is a Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) reduction program that is still ongoing, starting from free BBN to eliminating vehicle tax fines.
