The Cikokol Samsat (Vehicle Tax Service) has once again conducted a motor vehicle enforcement operation in Tangerang City. Following a previous operation on Daan Mogot Road, this latest raid was held on Satria Road.
During the operation, officers stopped 150 vehicles. Of these, 65 vehicles were found to be in violation for not having fulfilled their tax payment obligations. The breakdown was 53 two-wheeled vehicles and 12 four-wheeled vehicles.
The operation is not solely about enforcement but also aims to provide convenience for the public to settle their obligations on the spot.
“Drivers found to have overdue taxes are immediately directed to make payments at the location through the provided mobile Samsat (Samling) unit,” an official stated.
From the on-site payment service, recorded receipts from two-wheeled vehicles reached Rp1,085,000. Meanwhile, payments from four-wheeled vehicles reached Rp7,172,000.
In addition to enforcement, officers also provided education to drivers regarding the importance of tax compliance. The public was reminded that vehicle tax payments are now increasingly easy with various services available, both in-person and digital.
It was emphasized that this vehicle enforcement operation is one of the efforts to increase public awareness and boost Local Own-Source Revenue, particularly from the Motor Vehicle Tax sector.
“Through this activity, we hope the public will become more compliant in paying their vehicle taxes,” the official said.
This year, the Cikokol Samsat is targeted to achieve revenue of Rp340 billion from motor vehicle taxes. Similar enforcement operations will continue to be conducted periodically at various points across Tangerang City.
