QUICK ANSWER

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

Riau's vehicle tax (PKB) rate is 1% for a first vehicle, with no progressive rate, plus a 66% opsen for the regency or city. Check the bill through Bapenda Riau Mobile or BRKS Mobile, and pay annual tax there or in the national SIGNAL app. Late payment incurs 1% interest a month for up to 24 months.

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 Riau vehicle tax online

Bapenda Riau's web checker at https://bapenda.riau.go.id/dashboard/layanan/infopajak: enter the plate number (e.g. BM 1234 XX) and the last 5 digits of the chassis number (nomor rangka) to see an estimate of PKB, opsen PKB, SWDKLLJ and fines; Bapenda says the figure is an estimate. The Bapenda Riau Mobile app (https://bapenda.riau.go.id/mobileapp) shows tax information and due dates. To pay online, private owners can use the national SIGNAL app (Korlantas), which lists Riau.

SIGNAL (Samsat Digital Nasional) ↗ — National Samsat app for paying the annual PKB and SWDKLLJ online and getting an e-TBPKP; Riau is one of the 27 provinces it lists. Published on Google Play by Korlantas Polri - Pembina Samsat Nasional; private (non-company) owners only.
Bapenda Riau Mobile ↗ — Bapenda Riau's own app for checking vehicle tax information and due dates, taking an online Samsat queue number and payment reminders. Published by Bapenda Provinsi Riau as a download (APK) on its website; no Google Play listing was found.
BRKS Mobile ↗ — Mobile banking app of Bank Riau Kepri Syariah, the regional development bank; its Play description lists payment of Samsat Riau. Google Play developer: PT. Bank Riau Kepri Syariah (Perseroda); requires a BRKS account.

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

Other 2026 reductions

Bapenda Riau, Ditlantas Polda Riau and Jasa Raharja ran a prize draw (gold bars and a motorcycle) for owners who paid PKB on time; period II covered payments from 1 April to 30 June 2026 and was drawn on 27 July 2026. This is a reward, not a tax reduction.

Penalty for paying Riau 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 road-accident contribution has its own fine of 25% to 100% of the annual amount, capped at Rp100,000.

Provincial basis: Perda Provinsi Riau Nomor 2 Tahun 2024 Pasal 72 ayat (7) (bunga 1% per bulan, paling lama 24 bulan, bagian bulan dihitung penuh); Pasal 72 ayat (9) delegates any change in the sanction amount to a Peraturan Gubernur.
