The Requirements and List of Regions Hold Bleaching for Vehicle Tax Delinquents

People who own vehicles are subject to pay tax on motorized vehicle ownership, either for owners of two or more wheeled vehicles. There are two types of taxes that must be paid, namely Surat Tanda Nomor Kendaraan/ STNK (the annual tax when applying for a vehicle registration certificate) and the five-year tax that coincides with the change of vehicle number plates. The amount of vehicle tax that must be paid will vary, depending on the type, year of vehicle, and how many vehicles.

The vehicle owners who do not pay taxes after the validity period will be subject to sanctions or fines according to the late deadline. Many vehicle owners are late in paying vehicle tax and incur large fines. Since this is quite burdensome for vehicle owners, therefore, the vehicle tax amnesty is one way to reduce the burden.

What is vehicle tax amnesty?

The duty to pay the tax has been regulated in Article 74 of Law Number 22 of 2009 which states that motorized vehicle owners are required to arrange and pay taxes before the two-year period expires. If up to two years the vehicle owner has not renewed, then the ownership status will be removed.

This vehicle tax amnesty is awaited by all Indonesian people. However, a few people consider the vehicle tax amnesty means they are not required to pay the vehicle tax.

Viewed from the definition, vehicle tax amnesty is a government program in the form of abolition or amnesty of tax penalties imposed on vehicle owners. This means that this program still requires the owners to pay vehicle tax, but the amount of the tax is not large or reduced.

As an example, the vehicle owners have not paid their vehicle taxes which are overdue. When the vehicle owners join the tax amnesty program, they will not be subjected to the late fines, but they only need to pay normal taxes.

The benefits of vehicle tax amnesty can be felt by both vehicle owners and the government. For vehicle owners, this program will help because the nominal amount that must be paid is only the basic tax, without the need to pay the fines. Meanwhile, for the government, this vehicle tax amnesty helps in the success of taxpayer compliance.
