Indonesia has ended its nationwide 0% tax incentive for electric vehicles (EVs) under Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 11 of 2026, shifting authority over EV taxation to regional governments. EVs are now formally subject to Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and Vehicle Title Transfer Fee (BBNKB), but provinces are free to set their own rates, including maintaining reduced or even 0% taxes through local regulations. This decentralization means EV tax treatment will vary by region, and the central government has not yet issued detailed calculation guidelines, leaving implementation to evolve locally. The move has introduced uncertainty for automakers and consumers, prompting cautious industry reactions and early “buy now” messaging from some brands amid fears that incentives may be reduced in certain provinces. Concerns remain that weaker incentives, especially in key markets like Jakarta, could slow EV adoption, though outcomes will depend on regional policy choices. At the same time, Indonesia continues to push its broader EV ambitions, investing heavily in battery and supply-chain projects—including a US$6 billion CATL-linked initiative—and targeting EV production of 600,000 units by 2030.Source: https://indonesiabusinesspost.com/6521/policy/indonesia-ends-central-ev-tax-incentives-hands-control-to-regions (ICE GIACARTA)
