QUICK ANSWER

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

South Sulawesi'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 Sulsel Mobile, and pay annual tax there or in the national SIGNAL app. Late payment incurs 1% interest a month for up to 24 months.

South Sulawesi 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.
