QUICK ANSWER

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

Central Papua's vehicle tax (PKB) rate is 1.05% for a first vehicle, with no progressive rate, plus a 66% opsen for the regency or city. Check and pay the bill at a Samsat office. Late payment incurs 1% interest a month for up to 24 months; the Governor Regulation also sets a separate 1% monthly fine for late re-registration, so confirm the amount at Samsat.

Central Papua 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.

How to check and pay Central Papua vehicle tax online

No official online PKB checker for Papua Tengah was found on 25 September 2026: the BPPKAD Papua Tengah website has no tax-check page, and the national SIGNAL app does not list Papua Tengah among the 27 provinces where it can be used to pay PKB. Check and pay at the Samsat office (Kantor Bersama Samsat / UPT Pendapatan of BPPKAD Papua Tengah) for your regency, bringing your KTP and STNK. Pay before your tax period ends: under Pergub 49/2024 annual re-registration (daftar ulang) is due by the end of the tax period.

Only use the official apps and numbers above. Samsat and Bapenda never ask for payment into a personal account.

Central Papua vehicle tax relief in 2026

No 2026 relief programme was found on official sources.

Other 2026 reductions

Standing instalment facility: under Pergub Papua Tengah 10/2025, owners in financial difficulty or force majeure can apply at the Samsat office to pay PKB arrears in instalments over up to 24 months; this is a payment facility, not a tax reduction, and the 2025 waiver of instalment interest ended on 30 December 2025.

Penalty for paying Central Papua vehicle tax late

Late PKB incurs interest of 1% a month for up to 24 months, with any part of a month counted as a full month. The Governor Regulation also sets a separate 1% monthly fine for late re-registration, and it is unclear whether both apply to the same delay, so confirm the amount at Samsat; the same applies to opsen. The SWDKLLJ road-accident contribution has its own fine of 25% to 100% of the annual amount, capped at Rp100,000.

Provincial basis: Pergub Papua Tengah Nomor 49 Tahun 2024 tentang Tata Cara Pemungutan Pajak Daerah Pasal 13 ayat (2): late PKB payment incurs 'bunga sebesar 1% (satu persen) per bulan' of the unpaid tax, from the due date to the payment date, at most 24 months, part of a month counted as a full month, billed by STPD; the payment deadline is 1 month from the SKKP/assessment (Pasal 11 ayat (1)). Extra sanction flagged: Pasal 13 ayat (1) separately imposes a 'denda' of 1% of the PKB principal per month (at most 24 months) for failing to register by the deadline in Pasal 4 ayat (5), and Pasal 4 ayat (5) huruf b sets that deadline for 'daftar ulang' (annual re-registration) at the end of the tax period; the Pergub does not say whether both 1% charges apply together to a late annual renewal. Perda Provinsi Papua Tengah Nomor 6 Tahun 2025 Pasal 100 leaves sanction procedures to a Peraturan Gubernur, and Pasal 101 huruf d keeps existing implementing rules in force until replaced..
