QUICK ANSWER

How much is vehicle tax in Central Java, and how do I check and pay it?

Central Java's vehicle tax (PKB) rate is 1.05% for a first vehicle, rising from 1.4% to 2.45% for second and later vehicles, plus a 66% opsen for the regency or city. Check the bill through New Sakpole or Samsat Budiman, and pay annual tax there or in the national SIGNAL app. Late payment incurs 1% interest a month for up to 24 months. 2026 relief programme: 21 September 2026–28 December 2026.

Central Java vehicle tax rates

The PKB rate is set by the provincial regulation. Since 5 January 2025 regencies and cities also charge an opsen of 66% of the PKB on the same notice. The combined column is simple arithmetic before any regional discount or tax-base reduction.

3rd vehicle	1.75%	2.905%
4th vehicle	2.1%	3.486%

Progressive rates apply only to an individual’s second and later vehicles: motorbikes of 200cc and above, three-wheelers and four-wheelers.
