Agus Bambang Setyowidodo, head of agency, hoped the increase could decrease new vehicle buying in the capital. Based on the data, 300-400 cars are purchased everyday in the capital.
“New BBNKB could decrease new vehicles buying,” he told Beritajakarta.com, Thursday (6/23).
City Proposes New BBNKB Tax by 15 PercentAccording to the bill, the highest tax is 20 percent. Now Jakarta Provincial Government still applying 10 percent only. His side is still completing the proposal to be delivered to city council.
“We try to propose the draft again. It was refused before. They thought it could add society burden. But we think only certain people can buy a car. There is no problem with the tax,” he explained.
