TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Industry Ministry revealed it will discuss the luxury vehicle tax (PPnBM) in a limited meeting as the proposal related to the tax scheme has yet to see an improvement.
“We’ve been occasionally talking about it (luxury tax). What we have to do next is attach it in the regulation,” said chief of maritime, transports, and defense instrument industry (IMATAP) Putu Juli Ardika in Jakarta, Monday, Sept. 24, adding that the ministry’s proposal on PPnBM will be discussed in the limited meeting.
He hoped the discussion would soon be executed as the talks on the implementation of Euro4 and B20 non-subsidized fuel were done. Putu viewed the two had put off the discussion on luxury vehicle tax.
In the trade ministry’s proposal, the luxury tax was imposed based on the type of vehicle, emission, and engine’s cc. For example, a 10-person capacity car, with 250 g/km emission, and more than 3,001 cc will be imposed with 50 percent PPnBM.
Putu explained the luxury vehicle tax scheme would boost the domestic production of export-oriented vehicles. “Our export will be supported by the [tax] harmonization,” he said.
