what is it about PPnBM
Before explaining the PPnBM deductions, let’s first understand the term PPnBM itself. PPnBM is a tax imposed on goods classified as luxury to producers to produce or import goods in business activities. PPnBM is only charged once at the time of delivery of goods to the manufacturer.

An item is subject to PPnBM due to several considerations based on Article 5 of the Value Added Tax Law (VAT Law), namely:
– Fairness of tax burden between low-income consumers and high-income consumers.
– Control of consumption of luxury goods.
– Protection against small or traditional producers.
– Security of state revenue.
Then, what are the taxable goods that are classified as luxury? Here is the list:
– Non-essential goods.
– Goods consumed by certain people.
– Goods that are generally consumed by people with high incomes.
– Goods consumed to show social status.
For a known example, PPnBM is collected only once at the time of delivery by the manufacturer or producer of the luxury goods and imports of the luxury goods. Submissions at the next level will no longer be subject to PPnBM.

The PPnBM rates themselves vary, from the lowest 10% to the highest 200%. The difference in PPnBM rates itself is based on the grouping of luxury goods that are subject to PPnBM. The grouping of goods subject to PPnBM is based on the level of ability of a group of people who use the goods, in addition to being based on the use value of the goods for the community in general.
The goods subject to PPnBM also vary, which are divided into several groups, namely:
– Motorized vehicles, except ambulances, hearses, fire fighting vehicles, prisoners’ vehicles, public transportation, vehicles used for the benefit of the state.
– Luxury residential groups, such as luxury homes, apartments, condominiums, totan houses, and the like.
– Group of aircraft, except for state purposes or commercial air transportation.
– Hot air balloon group.
– Group of firearms and other firearms, except for state purposes.
– Luxury yacht groups, except for the interests of the state, public transportation, or tourism businesses.
Car PPnBM discount
Then, what is a car PPnBM discount? PPnBM 2022 discount is the government’s official discount program on Sales Tax on Luxury Goods (PPnBM) for the period 2022. Based on the Decree of the Minister of Industry (Kepmenperin) Number 852 of 2022 concerning Motorized Vehicles with Sales Tax on Luxury Goods on Delivery of Taxable Goods classified as Luxury to be borne by the Government for Fiscal Year 2022.

The PPnBM discount for new cars is given as a stimulus so that the national automotive market can recover from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. This policy was first made in 2021 and will continue in 2022, but with different conditions.

The number of PPnBM discount recipients this year is 16 models. This number is less than the previous year, which was 36 models. This is because the rules are also different from before, especially regarding the local purchase requirements for components which are increased by at least 60% to 80%.

The government has also implemented 2 categories of granting PPnBM 2022 discounts, namely:
– Cars under IDR 200,000,000 (included in the Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) program.
– A car with a price of Rp. 200,000,000 – Rp. 250,000,000.
There are 5 LCGC models and 11 car models with a price range of Rp. 200 million – Rp. 250 million which get PPnBM 2022 discounts. The 5 LCGC models are given PPnBM discounts in stages, namely 100% discount for January – March, 66 % discount for April – June , and 33 % discount for July – September.

The five LCGC models should be subject to the normal PPnBM tariff of 3%. However, during the discount period, the tariff will be 0% in January – March, 2% in April – June, and 1% in July – September.

Meanwhile, for new cars of IDR 200 million – IDR 250 million, 50% discount is given during January – March, then in the second quarter and so on, the PPnBM rate applies normally, which is 15% or is subject to a 7.5% tax rate. Of course, the PPnBM burden that is billed will also be adjusted according to the respective categories in the current PPnBM emission regulations.
