According to a news release from the Department of Land Transportation (JPJ), vehicle owners can renew their road tax 2 months in advance, that is, 2 months before it is due. The vehicle owner can choose to renew the road tax for 6 months to 1 year.
It is important to note that if the road tax has not been updated for more than 1 year, the vehicle will need to be sent to PUSPAKOM for an inspection process. After receiving the B2 inspection report from PUSPAKOM, the owner or representative can bring the B2 inspection report to JPJ to renew the road tax.
