Automotive industry is one of industries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Therefore, the Government has issued policy on luxury goods sales tax (PPnBM) relaxation in order to boost car sales, according to President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo during his inspection to the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) at Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE), BSD City, Tangerang regency, Banten province on Wednesday (17/11).
