# Central Java vehicle tax 2026: rates, online checks and payment

**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.
