TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) will collect taxes on electric vehicles (EV) fairly, while still providing incentives.
Head of Bapenda Jakarta, Lusiana Herawati, stated that the government had prepared a tariff formulation following the issuance of Minister of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri) Number 11 of 2026.
"At that time, we tried to formulate the tariffs that would be implemented," she said in a statement in Jakarta on Saturday.
According to her, the Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov DKI Jakarta) had proposed four levels of incentives: electric vehicles valued up to Rp300 million would receive a 75 percent incentive, vehicles valued at Rp300-500 million would receive a 65 percent incentive.
Furthermore, electric vehicles valued at Rp500-700 million would receive a 50 percent incentive, and electric vehicles valued above Rp700 million would receive a 25 percent incentive.
"So, the tax paid will still take into account the ability to pay and the principle of fairness," Lusiana said.
However, this policy must comply with Ministry of Home Affairs Circular Letter No. 900.1.13.1/3764/SJ, which requests that regional governments provide incentives in the form of tax exemptions for electric vehicles.
"If it's exempt, it means the value is zero. That's what we have to do because there's already a directive from the Ministry of Home Affairs," explained Lusiana.
Meanwhile, the Chair of Commission C of the Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), Dimaz Raditya, stated that the potential regional revenue from electric vehicle taxes in Jakarta is quite large.
However, this policy cannot yet be implemented because regional governments must comply with the central government's directives. "From the beginning, we have stated that the tax potential from electric vehicles in Jakarta is very high," said Dimaz.
Previously, Dimaz had discussed a phased electric vehicle tax scheme. This scheme does not apply a uniform rate, but rather divides vehicles based on their value or price.
According to him, this scheme provides fairness for electric vehicle owners.
Commission C continues to encourage the implementation of the electric vehicle tax policy in the following years, taking into account regional readiness and central government directives.
According to Dimaz, the trend in electric vehicle sales continues to increase. This situation needs to be balanced with fair fiscal policies, especially for regions with significant electric vehicle potential, such as Jakarta.
