JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Owners of both two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles are required to pay tax once a year. Payment of this tax is also made for the validity of the Vehicle Registration Certificatevehicle registration) annual.
So if the owner of the vehicle is late paying vehicle tax, then the STNK will die. So what if STNK dead can be ticketed by the police?

However, there are still many vehicle owners who think that paying vehicle taxes is not the domain of the police to take action.
Budiyanto, Observer of Transportation Problems, said that a vehicle whose tax has expired can still be ticketed by the police.
Because late paying taxes is related to the validity of a vehicle for use on the highway.
“From a legal perspective, taxes are dead motor vehicle can be ticketed with the legal argument that it is not a death tax issue, but is related to the validity of the STNK,” said Budiyanto some time ago.
The vehicle registration number (STNK) should be ratified every year by paying taxes every year. If not, of course the STNK becomes invalid.

“At the time of ratification, before being ratified by the officer, the owner must pay taxes and the Road Traffic Accident Fund Compulsory Contribution (SWDKLLJ) has just been ratified. The dead tax means it has not been ratified by an authorized officer,” he said.
This is regulated in Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation (LLAJ) as well as derivative regulations that have been regulated both from the juridical aspect and the mechanism.

Budiyanto explained from a legal point of view regarding the prosecution of tax-dead vehicles as follows:
- Article 64 – Paragraph (1) that every motorized vehicle must be registered. Paragraph (2) As evidence that the motorized vehicle has been registered, among others, the owner is given a STNK.
- Article 68 – Paragraph (1) Every motorized vehicle that is operated on the road must be equipped with a STNK and a motorized vehicle registration number.
- Article 70 – Paragraph (2) STNK and motorized vehicle registration number are valid for 5 (five) years, which must be requested for approval every year.
- Article 37 Paragraph (2) and paragraph (3) of Perkap No. 5 of 2012 concerning Registration and identification. Paragraph (2) STNK as proof of the legitimacy of the operation of Ranmor. Paragraph (3) STNK is valid for 5 years since it was first issued, extension and or registration of mutations from outside the Regident area and must be requested for approval every year.
