Faced with the sluggishness of public purchasing power, in particular in the automotive industry, the government has provided for a 0% fiscal “stimulus” for each purchase of a new car.

However, even though the government offers PPnBM relief, we should know that not all types of new cars can benefit from the tax incentives provided by the government. The Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) since April 2021 has expanded the incentive in the form of a reduction in the sales tax on luxury goods (PPnBM).

In addition to being rated from engine capacity, cars that get PPnBM must have more than 60% local components installed and are Locally Assembled Cars (CKDs). So we can say that even if there are government incentives, the choice of cars that benefit from the program is quite limited.

In addition, the price of PPnBM-intensive cars is calculated using the calculation of the PPnBM rate for cars with a capacity of 1501 cm3 – 2500 cm3 of (10% x (last car prices)).

If the price of a Toyota Innova 2.4V A / T 2000cc manual and gasoline at the dealership is IDR 384,700,000, then after getting intensive PPnBM, it will be IDR. 346,230,000 or suffered a 10% depreciation. With an added note, the car is a car that is not subject to progressive tax or the first car and has not received a special reduction from the dealer.
