Abstract

The impact of this policy implementation reviewed by gathering primary data from UPT Bapenda Bali Province located in Denpasar. The results of this study, generated by using descriptive analysis, indicated that there are various considerations for local government in making changes to the provisions of vehicle tax collection, in order to restrain the growth rate of motor vehicles while increasing local revenue.
