Millions of vehicle owners in Jakarta reportedly missed paying the annual re-registration tax, leading to a potential loss of Rp 1.2 trillion (US$82 million) for the city's tax collection income, the tax office reported.
Jakarta Tax Agency head Agus Bambang urged Jakartan citizens to re-register their vehicles as scheduled, adding that there are 8.5 million vehicles in the capital city, consisting of 6.2 million motorcycles and 2.3 million cars.
"There are 3.2 million motorcycles and 400,000 cars in Jakarta that have not been re-registered for more than one year, " Agus said as quoted by kompas.com.
The tax agency, he added, had launched the online registration system and the vehicle tax payment that allowed citizens to pay taxes online. (ags/dan)(++++)
