Apa itu BBNKB? Ini Syarat, Biaya & Cara Menghitungnya

Currently, purchasing a used vehicle has become a popular option among the Indonesian people, especially due to its more affordable price compared to new cars. In the process of buying a used car, BBNKB becomes one of the aspects that need serious attention. 

Information regarding the amount of BBNKB can generally be found in the Vehicle Registration Certificate (STNK) of the car or motorcycle. If the vehicle has been sold before, the amount of BBNKB is usually clearly stated.

However, if the vehicle has never changed ownership, the information regarding BBNKB may still be empty. Therefore, for those of you who plan to buy a used car, it is very important to understand the definition of BBNKB, its requirements, and how to calculate it before making a transaction. Here is the complete information.

Definition of BBNKB

According to the official Bapenda website, the Motor Vehicle Name Transfer Fee or BBNKB is the fee that has been set when changing vehicle ownership, so if you buy and sell a used car, there will be a name transfer fee that must be paid so that the vehicle has a name according to the owner. 

Managing BBNKB is important because the issue of BBNKB itself has been regulated and refers to Article 1 number 11 of the Law on Regional Taxes and Regional Levies.

Requirements for BBNKB

To carry out BBNKB, several requirements must be met. The BBNKB process will be carried out directly at the main Samsat, mobile Samsat, and outlet Samsat according to your place of residence. You will also need to prepare the vehicle in prime condition for inspection. 

The requirements to apply for BBNKB are:

  1. Original ID card and photocopy of the previous owner
  2. Original and photocopy of the vehicle registration book (BPKB), if you are still paying for the vehicle, you can request a copy from the leasing company
  3. Original and photocopy of the STNK
  4. Original purchase receipt of the vehicle and photocopy
  5. Physical inspection results from Samsat. 
  6. If all requirements are complete, you can come to the Samsat during operational hours. Make sure to come in the morning to avoid long queues.

How Much is the BBNKB Fee?

So, what is the rate charged? According to Article 12 paragraphs 1 and 2, the first BBNKB transfer is 12.5% and then the second transfer is 1%. So, what is meant by the first transfer?

The first transfer is directly from the dealer when the vehicle owner buys a new car. Meanwhile, the second transfer occurs during buying and selling, inheritance, donation, or other situations. Therefore, it can be said that when buying and selling used vehicles, the amount of BBNKB is not that high compared to buying a new car. 

How to Calculate BBNKB?

Here is how to calculate BBNKB in detail, including:

  • BBNKB for a car: Rp300 million X 1% = Rp3 million
  • Vehicle tax fee Rp 100 million X 2% = Rp2 million
  • SWDKLLJ: Rp143 thousand
  • STNK admin fee: Rp50 thousand
  • STNK issuance fee: Rp200 thousand
  • NKB issuance fee: Rp100 thousand
  • BPKB issuance fee: Rp375 thousand
  • Registration fee Rp100 thousand. 
  • If totaled, the total cost becomes around Rp5 million. This fee must be prepared to carry out the name transfer of a used vehicle. If you want to buy a new car, you only need to multiply the purchase price by 12.5%.

Do new motorcycles have to pay BBN?

Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) must be settled at the initial stage when purchasing a new car or motorcycle, and after that, it must be renewed every 5 years. Meanwhile, the Motor Vehicle Name Transfer Fee (BBNKB) is a tax obligation that arises as a consequence of a sales agreement, exchange, donation, inheritance, and similar situations related to the transfer of ownership of motor vehicles.

Who is Responsible for BBNKB?

The Motor Vehicle Name Transfer Fee (BBNKB) is a tax obligation that must be fulfilled by the owner when acquiring a motor vehicle. Currently, regulations related to BBNKB are governed by Articles 12–16 of the Law on Financial Relations between the Central Government and Regional Governments (UU HKPD).

Until when is the motorcycle name transfer fee free?

This program is valid until the end of 2023. To obtain the exemption from the Motor Vehicle Name Transfer Fee (BBNKB) for free, the processing can be done by visiting the main Samsat office or the Samsat located in the area according to the vehicle registration location.

The steps to carry out the name transfer of a vehicle are actually easy to do, unfortunately, many owners have not done it after buying a used car. The reason is the relatively high name transfer fee, whereas if you do not carry out the name transfer, you will face difficulties when the time for STNK renewal arrives. 

In addition to knowing that BBNKB is the fee for the name transfer of a vehicle, you should also perform regular maintenance on the vehicle. Make sure to maintain the vehicle at an official Daihatsu workshop to receive optimal care.
