Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Bali administration is offering tax discounts on vehicle ownership and name transfer taxes to ease the public's burden amid the upcoming implementation of the national vehicle tax scheme, effective in 2025.

The national vehicle tax scheme, known locally as Opsen, is additional tax levy based on a certain percentage.

Wayan Budiasa, the Acting Head of the Bali Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda), explained on Sunday (5/1/2025) that the new policy, outlined in Bali Governor Regulation No. 30/2024, offers a 14.35% discount on vehicle tax , known as PKB, for motorcycles up to 200cc, and 12.15% for larger vehicles. 

Special discounts of up to 39.76% are given for vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, and vehicles owned by social and religious organizations.

"The discount aims to alleviate public concerns regarding the upcoming tax scheme," Budiasa said. 

The new tax reductions, effective from Sunday, follow the Ministry of Home Affairs' circular on vehicle tax relief.
