Jakarta Maintains Tax Exemptions and Traffic Rule Waivers for Electric Vehicles

Jakarta is doubling down on its commitment to a greener future by maintaining crucial fiscal incentives for electric vehicles (EVs). The provincial government has confirmed that battery-based EVs will continue to enjoy exemptions from Vehicle Ownership Tax (PKB) and Vehicle Name Transfer Fees (BBNKB), alongside their continued exemption from the controversial 'odd-even' traffic restriction policy.

Lusiana Herawati, Head of the DKI Jakarta Revenue Agency, stated that the regional policy aligns with central government directives, specifically referencing a Ministry of Home Affairs circular on fiscal incentives for EVs. This alignment ensures a consistent approach across different levels of government, reinforcing Jakarta's dedication to promoting environmentally friendly transportation. Herawati emphasized that these incentives are vital for accelerating EV adoption and strengthening the city's clean energy ecosystem.

Setelah terbit SE Mendagri tentang pemberian insentif fiskal berupa pembebasan PKB dan BBNKB bagi kendaraan bermotor listrik berbasis baterai, kebijakan Pemprov DKI sejalan dengan ketentuan tersebut, yakni tetap memberikan insentif berupa pembebasan PKB dan BBNKB bagi kendaraan listrik berbasis baterai.

Echoing this sentiment, Syafrin Liputo, Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, highlighted the relevance of the 'odd-even' exemption in supporting air pollution control and encouraging a shift in public transportation choices. He stressed that maintaining these policies is integral to the broader framework of urban mobility, emphasizing the need for robust public transportation and consistent environmental policies to achieve gradual emission reduction targets. Jakarta's proactive stance positions it as a leader in sustainable urban development, demonstrating a clear vision for a cleaner, healthier city.
