## How to check and pay Gorontalo vehicle tax online

Bapenda Gorontalo's own checker (Info Pajak Kendaraan / Cek Tagihan) at https://bapenda.gorontaloprov.go.id/cek-pajak asks for the plate code, number, series and plate colour, but on 25 September 2026 it was temporarily disabled for system maintenance and Bapenda asked owners to check at the nearest Samsat office. Private owners can check and pay PKB and SWDKLLJ in the national SIGNAL app (Korlantas), which lists Gorontalo: register, add the vehicle registered in your own name, and the app shows the amount due; Bapenda says you then collect ('tebus') at the GIIS counter in front of the Bapenda office or at a main Samsat office. Offline you can pay at any Samsat in the province (Samsat Link), at Gerai Samsat Mobile units or at GIIS. Bapenda's WhatsApp number shown on its website is +62 811-4551-1201.

- [SIGNAL (Samsat Digital Nasional)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.signal.id): National Samsat app for paying the annual PKB and SWDKLLJ online and getting an e-TBPKP; Gorontalo is one of the 27 provinces it lists, and the provincial government signed the SIGNAL operational cooperation agreement on 29 April 2026. Bapenda Gorontalo says you can pay from anywhere and then collect ('tebus') at the GIIS counter in front of the Bapenda office or at a main Samsat office.

## Gorontalo vehicle tax relief in 2026

**Pembebasan dan Pengurangan Pembayaran atas Pokok dan Sanksi Pajak Kendaraan Bermotor (programme for the 81st Independence Day, HUT ke-81 RI).** Ran 10 August 2026–31 August 2026 and has ended.

For vehicles owned or controlled by individuals: all unpaid PKB principal and sanctions for tax years (kohir) 2025 and earlier were written off, so owners paid only the current-year (2026) PKB principal; all PKB administrative sanctions were waived. Vehicles bought at TNI or POLRI auctions and not yet registered got a 50% cut in BBNKB principal and a 100% waiver of the late-registration sanction. Vehicles transferred into Gorontalo from another province (mutasi masuk) with a manufacturing year of 2023 or earlier got an exemption of the tax principal ('Pembebasan Pokok Pajak'). Not available for vehicles owned by government-owned or private companies (badan usaha) or for central/regional government service vehicles. Proof needed: the STNK or other valid proof of ownership (auction vehicles: auction minutes or asset-release documents and proof of payment). Launched at the Bapenda office on 10 August 2026 and served at Samsat offices, Gerai Samsat Mobile and GIIS; Bapenda said it was the first time arrears principal, not only fines, was written off. It ended on 31 August 2026; no extension or new programme was found on official channels by 25 September 2026.

Legal basis: Keputusan Gubernur Gorontalo Nomor 325/28/VIII/2026 tentang Pembebasan dan Pengurangan Pembayaran atas Pokok dan Sanksi Pajak Kendaraan Bermotor (ditetapkan 3 Agustus 2026; Diktum KETUJUH: berlaku 10-31 Agustus 2026), issued under Pergub Gorontalo 35/2024 Pasal 111 ayat (3). [Official announcement](https://bapenda.gorontaloprov.go.id/storage/product_laws/gmoC4i3kOaf4XoHGKrp2huV0t6rs32Eaf1ITf7Ax.pdf)

### Other 2026 reductions

- Renewable-energy vehicles (for example battery electric vehicles) are outside the PKB object under Perda Gorontalo 1/2024 Article 3(3)(d).
- Standing relief on application: under Perda 1/2024 Article 77 and Pergub 35/2024 Article 111 the Governor may grant relief, reduction, exemption or deferral of PKB principal and/or sanctions, considering the taxpayer's condition (victims of natural disaster, fire, riots or disease outbreaks) or the vehicle's condition (heavily damaged or lost); it is set by Governor's decree.
- At the 10 August 2026 launch, six compliant taxpayers received prizes (gold of 0.5 to 5 grams and a hotel voucher) handed over by Jasa Raharja; this is a reward, not a tax reduction.

## Penalty for paying Gorontalo 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 same applies to opsen. The SWDKLLJ contribution has its own fine of 25% to 100% of the annual amount, capped at Rp100,000. (Provincial basis: Pergub Gorontalo Nomor 35 Tahun 2024 tentang Peraturan Pelaksanaan Perda Provinsi Gorontalo Nomor 1 Tahun 2024, Pasal 15 ayat (2): if PKB is not paid on time under Pasal 13 ayat (1), 'sanksi administratif berupa bunga sebesar 1% (satu persen) per bulan dari Pajak terutang yang tidak atau kurang dibayar', from the due date to the payment date, for at most 24 months, part of a month counted as a full month, billed by STPD. Pasal 13 ayat (1) sets the due date as 1 month after the SKPD (tax assessment) is sent or notified. Separately, Pasal 15 ayat (1) imposes a 'denda sebesar 1% (satu persen) dari pokok PKB terutang setiap bulan keterlambatan' (max 24 months) when the SPOPD registration form is not submitted within the Pasal 6 ayat (4) deadlines (mainly new, transferred-in or re-owned vehicles; annual renewals are registered without an SPOPD under Pasal 6 ayat (7)). No 25% surcharge applies to PKB. Perda Provinsi Gorontalo Nomor 1 Tahun 2024 sets no PKB late-payment rate itself and delegates tata cara pemungutan to a Peraturan Gubernur (Pasal 76 ayat (1))..)

## Frequently asked questions
