Indonesia, 26th May 2023 - Indonesian citizens have an obligation to pay various types of taxes, including Property Tax (Pajak Bumi Bangunan or PBB), which must be paid annually by individuals and entities that own land and buildings.
On the other hand, individuals who own motor vehicles are required to pay Vehicle Tax (Pajak Kendaraan Bermotor or PKB) every year and renew their Vehicle Registration Certificates (Surat Tanda Nomor Kendaraan or STNK) every five years. People can easily pay these taxes through Tokopedia's Tax Counter.
"In introducing Tokopedia's Tax Counter, we collaborate with the central government, local governments, and other strategic partners to enable the public to pay various types of taxes, including Property Tax in 260 cities/regencies, using more than 50 available payment methods on Tokopedia," explained Jonathan Tricahyo, Head of Sales and Operation Development at Tokopedia.
Tokopedia's Tax Counter also allows people to access the E-Samsat feature for paying Vehicle Tax (PKB) and STNK issuance fees.
