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 South Papua vehicle tax online

No official online PKB checker for Papua Selatan was found on 25 September 2026: the BPPKAD website (bppkad.papuaselatan.go.id) has no tax-check page, and the national SIGNAL app does not list Papua Selatan among the 27 provinces where it can be used to pay PKB. Check and pay at a Samsat office; BPPKAD's 2025 notice names Samsat Merauke, Samsat Boven Digoel and Samsat Mappi, plus Bank Papua payment points at KCP Tanah Miring and KCP Kurik. Bring your KTP and STNK. Do not use look-alike 'Bapenda Papua Selatan' websites that are not on a .go.id domain.

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

Penalty for paying South 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 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: Not set by the provincial Perda. Perda Provinsi Papua Selatan Nomor 8 Tahun 2025 has no late-payment interest rate for PKB: Pasal 66 ayat (3) leaves the collection procedure (tata cara pemungutan, including payment and billing) to a Peraturan Gubernur, which was not found (Pasal 93 requires implementing rules within one year of 19 December 2025), and its only interest figure is 0.6% per month on instalments or deferrals approved by the Governor (Pasal 72 ayat (9)). The 1%/24-month figures come from the national rule, Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 35 Tahun 2023 Pasal 59 ayat (5) huruf a (PKB assessed by SKPD must be paid within 1 month of the SKPD) and ayat (7) ('bunga sebesar 1% (satu persen) per bulan' from the due date to the payment date, at most 24 months, part of a month counted as a full month, billed by STPD). No extra surcharge is set for PKB in the Perda..

Frequently asked questions

How do I check my vehicle tax in South Papua online?

As of 25 September 2026 there is no official online PKB checker for South Papua, and the SIGNAL app does not cover the province. Check and pay at a Samsat office (for example Samsat Merauke, Boven Digoel or Mappi) or at a designated Bank Papua payment point, bringing your KTP and STNK. Avoid look-alike sites that claim to be Bapenda Papua Selatan but are not on a .go.id domain.

What is the PKB rate in South Papua, and is there a progressive rate?

Under South Papua Provincial Regulation (Perda) No. 8 of 2025, Article 7, the PKB rate is 1.05% for owning and/or controlling a motor vehicle, and 0.5% for public transport, employee and school transport, ambulances, fire engines, social/religious bodies and central/regional government vehicles. The Perda sets no progressive rate. Its PKB provisions apply from its enactment on 19 December 2025 and replace Governor Regulation (Pergub) 52/2023, which only gave a ceiling of 1.2% (progressive up to 6%). Opsen PKB of 66% for the regency is added on top.

Is there a South Papua vehicle tax amnesty (pemutihan) in 2026?

No 2026 programme is confirmed by an official source. Local media reported a PKB fine waiver from 1 to 31 August 2026, citing the Merauke Samsat office, but no governor's decree or BPPKAD notice for it was found, and that period has ended. In 2025 BPPKAD announced an amnesty from 25 June to 25 August 2025 (Governor's Decree 900.1.13.1/158 of 2025). Ask at a Samsat office or check the official Tim Pembina Samsat Papua Selatan account for current programmes.

What is the late-payment penalty for PKB in South Papua?

South Papua Perda 8/2025 does not set its own late-payment interest for PKB; it leaves collection procedures to a Governor Regulation that was not found. The national rule, Government Regulation (PP) 35/2023 Article 59(5) and (7), requires PKB to be paid within 1 month of the tax assessment (SKPD) and charges interest of 1% per month on late payment, for at most 24 months, with part of a month counted as a full month. Confirm the details at a Samsat office.
