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

Yogyakarta's vehicle tax (PKB) rate is 0.9% for a first vehicle, rising from 1.4% to 2.9% for second and later vehicles, plus a 66% opsen for the regency or city.

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.
