Yamaha Hopes the Opsen Policy in 2026 Will Favor Consumers

KatadataOTO – The implementation of the surcharge on Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and Motor Vehicle Title Transfer Fee (BBNKB) in each region seems set to change in 2026.

This is because last year, several provincial governments provided relaxation in implementing this program. However, this leniency was temporary.

In 2026, this policy has the potential to change again, which could bring a number of negative impacts.

Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing (YIMM) was also prompted to give its opinion on the aforementioned regulation.

“This is indeed a challenge that must be faced not only by Yamaha, but by all industry players, especially in the two-wheeled sector,” said Rifki Maulana, Manager of Public Relations, YRA & Community at YIMM to KatadataOTO in Pulogadung, East Jakarta some time ago.

Yamaha hopes that the BBNKB surcharge and PKB policy in 2026 will be in favor of consumers. This is important for every regional government to consider.

Because if it can be made not to burden the public, the new motorcycle market can achieve a positive performance this year.

“Perhaps the policy could be designed so that with the surcharge, the total amount is actually the same as without the surcharge (the total tax to be paid),” Rifki continued.

Furthermore, Yamaha requests that the PKB surcharge and BBNKB be made clearer. Meaning, if there is any relief, it should be made permanent.

Not just for one year, so that the public will not hesitate to buy new motorcycles in 2026.

“So that our industry (two-wheeled vehicles) continues to run well,” he concluded.

Furthermore, it was mentioned that if the new motorcycle industry can continue to make a positive contribution, the impact can be felt by many parties.

From consumers, producers, vendors, suppliers, to employees can feel the ripple effects.

“Hopefully, the surcharge will also provide significant revenue for the regional government, but not cause a significant price increase for the product,” Rifki emphasized.

It should be noted that the BBNKB and PKB surcharge is a type of tax collected by the provincial government, making it a source of Regional Original Revenue (PAD).

The levy will be used to finance regional governance and development.

For your information, the Directorate General of Regional Financial Development of the Ministry of Home Affairs will evaluate the two policies mentioned above.

This evaluation is expected to provide information regarding the implementation of the PKB and BBNKB surcharges in all regions.
