Basis for calculating fines
The basis for calculating the Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) fine is 1.5 percent of the selling price. The selling value of the vehicle will decrease each year, as vehicle prices also depreciate.
Meanwhile, for the delay in extending the STNK, the fine that must be paid is 25 percent. The process of calculating this PKB fine uses the formula:
PKB x 25 percent x length of delay / 12 (months).
For example, if you are late in paying the PKB for three months. Then the calculation is:
PKB x 25 percent x (3/12).
Or if delayed for 10 months, the calculation is as follows:
PKB x 25 percent x (10/12).
SWDKLLJ Fine
SWDKLLJ stands for Mandatory Contribution for Road Traffic Accident Fund. The name of the vehicle owner registered on this STNK is automatically registered for Jasa Raharja insurance.
If you are late in extending the STNK, a fine of Rp 32 thousand will be imposed for two-wheeled vehicles or motorcycles and Rp 100 thousand for cars.
