Pajero car tax varies depending on the production year, trim level, and vehicle registration region. The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is well known in Indonesia as one of the most popular SUVs, thanks to its rugged design, reliable engine performance, and comfort for both daily use and long-distance travel.
Understanding Pajero car tax by year and trim is important because the tax amount directly affects the total cost of vehicle ownership. For those planning to purchase a used Pajero Sport, annual vehicle tax should be a key consideration when choosing the most suitable trim and production year based on budget.
In addition to the purchase price, motor vehicle tax, SWDKLLJ, and other potential additional costs are recurring expenses that must be carefully calculated. By understanding the tax structure from the start, you can avoid unexpected costs and make a more rational used car purchasing decision. This article provides a complete breakdown of Pajero car tax, the factors that influence it, and practical ways to check vehicle tax.
The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport holds a strong position in the ladder-frame SUV segment, competing directly with other large SUVs that prioritize structural strength and durability across various road conditions. Its ladder-frame platform makes the Pajero Sport well known for its robustness, suitable for both urban roads and more challenging terrain.
Throughout its presence in Indonesia, the Pajero Sport has gone through several generations and updates. Each generation introduced changes in design, technology, safety features, and available trims. These differences across generations influence the vehicle’s resale value and Pajero car tax from year to year.
From a powertrain perspective, the Pajero Sport is generally equipped with a large-capacity diesel engine that delivers strong torque and good fuel efficiency. However, its engine capacity and relatively high vehicle value also affect the amount of motor vehicle tax. Therefore, understanding the overall characteristics of the Pajero Sport helps estimate the annual tax burden more accurately.
Pajero car tax differs each year and is influenced by trim level, drivetrain system (4x2 or 4x4), and transmission variant. Below is a summary of estimated annual tax for Mitsubishi Pajero Sport by model year, especially useful for those considering a used unit.

Overall, Pajero Sport car tax is strongly influenced by drivetrain type and production year. 4x4 variants are always taxed higher than 4x2 models due to more complex specifications and off-road capability. Newer production years also generally come with higher tax amounts in line with vehicle value and features.
In addition to the annual vehicle tax, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport owners also need to account for the five-year vehicle tax. This tax is mandatory every five years and covers STNK renewal, issuance of new TNKB (license plates), and official vehicle data validation.
For the five-year renewal, you should also prepare additional funds for the issuance of BPKB, STNK, and SWDKLLJ. Referring to Government Regulation (PP) No. 76 of 2020 on Types and Tariffs of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP), the following are the official fees for motor vehicle document issuance:
Fee Type | Amount (IDR) |
| Issuance of STNK (4-wheeled vehicle) | 200,000 |
| Issuance of BPKB (4-wheeled vehicle) | 225,000 |
| Issuance of TNKB (license plates, 4-wheeled vehicle) | 100,000 |
| SWDKLLJ | 143,000 |
In general, the calculation of the five-year vehicle tax for a Pajero uses the following formula:
NJKB x PKB x 25 percent

The amount of Pajero car tax is not random. It is calculated based on several regulated factors. Understanding these factors is especially important for used car buyers to estimate ownership costs accurately.
Newer vehicles have higher NJKB values, resulting in higher annual taxes. Older Pajero Sport units usually have lower NJKB and lighter tax burdens.
Trims such as GLS, Exceed, Dakar, and Dakar Ultimate differ in features and pricing. Higher trims with advanced features and higher OTR prices are subject to higher taxes. 4x4 variants also incur higher taxes than 4x2 models.
Most Pajero Sport models use a 2.4L diesel engine. While diesel engines are efficient, engine capacity and drivetrain complexity still influence tax value.
Vehicle tax may differ across provinces due to varying local tax policies, surcharges, and incentives. Identical vehicles can have different tax amounts depending on registration location.
In addition to vehicle specifications and registration region, ownership status can also affect the amount of Pajero car tax payable each year. In several provinces, local governments have implemented a progressive vehicle tax system, where tax rates increase for the second, third, and subsequent vehicles registered under the same name and address.
If a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is registered as a second vehicle, the Vehicle Tax (PKB) rate is generally higher than that of the first vehicle. The tax burden will increase further if the vehicle is recorded as a third car or beyond. The percentage of progressive tax varies depending on regional regulations.
Please note that the amount of Pajero car tax may differ across regions. This is because Vehicle Tax (PKB) rates are determined by policies set by each provincial government. Therefore, vehicle owners are advised to always check the tax based on the vehicle’s registration domicile, not solely on its type or year of production.

By using these digital services, you can obtain accurate and up-to-date information on Pajero car tax according to the vehicle’s registration region.
