Sebanyak 643 Unit Kendaraan Memanfaatkan Program Pembebasan Denda dan Diskon

JAYAPURA – Pemerintah Provinsi Papua, melalui Badan Pendapatan Daerah (Bapenda) Provinsi Papua mencatat, sebanyak 643 unit kendaraan bernomor polisi luar Papua yang melakukan pendaftaran mutasi masuk atau bernomor polisi Papua.

Kendaraan tersebut memanfaatkan program pembebasan denda dan diskon 5 persen hingga 40 persen pokok pajak kendaraan bermotor (PKB), periode Mei hingga September tahun 2025.

Plt Kepala Bidang Pajak, Ardy Bengu mengatakan, ada peningkatan sebesar 1,1 persen dibanding tahun lalu. Meksi secara kasat mata di jalan raya masih banyak ditemukan kendaraan berplat nomor polisi luar Papua.

“Sebagian kendaraan belum dimutasi karena memiliki kendala teknis, terkendala dengan persyaratan yang diajukan,” ungkapnya.

Sambungnya, selain itu kendala lain yang ditemukan di lapangan adalah alasan pemilik kendaraan bahwa belum lunas kredit, sehingga buku pemilik kendaraan bermotor (BPKB)  belum diserahkan.

Ia mengatakan, program pembebasan denda dan diskon 5 persen hingga 40 persen pokok PKB merupakan salah satu upaya Bapenda untuk menarik minat pemilik kendaraan untuk secepatnya memutasikan kendaraannya.

“Selama mereka menggunakan plat nomor luar Papua, selama itu juga mereka masih terdaftar di Samsat tempat asal kendaraan tersebut. Pajaknya tetap dipungut di daerah asal kendaraan tersebut meski kendaraannya digunakan di Papua,” tutupnya. ***

JAYAPURA – The Papua Provincial Government, through the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Papua Province, recorded that a total of 643 vehicles with license plates from outside Papua have been re-registered and converted to Papua registration numbers.

These vehicles benefited from the fine waiver and motor vehicle tax discount program, which offered reductions ranging from 5% to 40% on the principal tax amount. The program was valid from May to September 2025.

Acting Head of the Tax Division, Ardy Bengu, stated that there was a 1.1% increase compared to the previous year, even though many vehicles with license plates from outside Papua are still commonly seen on the roads.

“Some vehicles have not yet been re-registered due to technical issues or incomplete documentation,” he explained.

He added that another challenge encountered in the field was that many vehicle owners had not completed their loan payments, preventing them from obtaining their Vehicle Ownership Book.

According to Bengu, the fine waiver and tax discount program is one of the Regional Revenue Agency's key efforts to encourage vehicle owners to promptly re-register their vehicles in Papua.

“As long as they are still using license plates from outside Papua, their vehicles remain registered at One-Stop Motor Vehicle Administration System offices in their region of origin. The taxes continue to be collected there, even though the vehicles are used in Papua,” he concluded.  ***
