Bekasi Regency - Residents of Bekasi Regency, West Java, are queuing at the local One-Stop Administration System Office to take care of or take advantage of the Motor Vehicle Tax amnesty program.
"This week it has always been busy, since morning it has been filled with people, causing long queues," said Head of the Regional Revenue Service Center (P3DW) Samsat Bekasi Regency Mochamad Fajar Ginanjar in Cikarang, Thursday.
He stated that the enthusiasm from the public indicated that applicants' interest in completing their vehicle tax payments was high.
"This program provides relief for taxpayers by eliminating fines and arrears, they only pay the bill in the current year," he said.
Fajar admitted that the number of motorized vehicles paying taxes per day ranged from 3,000 to 4,000 units before the vehicle tax amnesty program.
"But now it has increased to 4,900 to 5,194 vehicles just two days ago," he said.
Bekasi Regency Samsat continues to accommodate the surge in taxpayer applications by opening special services on Sundays for annual tax payments.
"We still serve the public on holidays, but only for annual tax payments, from 08.00 to 12.00 WIB," he said.
Apart from that, several payment outlets have also been opened in various locations to make them easier for the public to reach.
"We have prepared several outlets that can be utilized by the public for annual tax payments. We are taking this step to make it easier for the public to fulfill their obligations," he said.
