PT. Jasa Raharja Southeast Sulawesi, a state-owned insurance company dedicated to providing protection for traffic accident victims, is actively supporting initiatives to enhance vehicle tax compliance—an essential source of revenue for national development.
The company is working to educate the public on the importance of timely tax payments and is offering incentives to encourage compliance.
In an interview on November 21, 2024, the Head of Jasa Raharja Southeast Sulawesi Branch, Abdillah, outlined two key initiatives aimed at promoting tax compliance in the region. These initiatives focus on providing benefits to taxpayers and forging partnerships with a wide range of stakeholders.
One of Jasa Raharja’s key strategies is offering “stimuli” or incentives to community members who comply with their vehicle tax obligations. As of October 2024, the company has collaborated with 28 local merchants across various sectors, including retail, food services, vehicle repair shops, hospitals, and more. These partnerships enable tax-compliant individuals to enjoy discounts and special offers, thus making timely tax payments more attractive.
“By partnering with merchants in multiple sectors, we aim to make the tax compliance process more rewarding for the public,” said Abdillah. “This initiative helps create a positive association between tax compliance and tangible benefits for the community.”
Collaborating with Key Stakeholders
In addition to working with local businesses, Jasa Raharja has also strengthened its collaboration with 23 important stakeholders, including banks, vehicle financing institutions, and government agencies. These partnerships are designed to create a more efficient system for verifying tax compliance as part of various administrative processes.
For instance, Jasa Raharja is working with stakeholders to ensure that vehicle owners fulfill their tax obligations before completing other critical procedures, such as vehicle registration or financing. Abdillah emphasized, “Our collaboration with these partners ensures that vehicle tax compliance becomes a prerequisite for services, making it a more integrated part of administrative processes.”
By fostering collaboration among businesses, financial institutions, and government agencies, Jasa Raharja Southeast Sulawesi aims to create a more tax-compliant society that contributes to the sustainable development of the region and the country as a whole. Through these combined efforts, the company hopes to help optimize vehicle tax collection, ultimately benefiting the national economy. “We are committed to continuing these efforts and exploring additional ways to encourage the public to fulfill their tax obligations,” Abdillah concluded.
