Taxes play a vital role as the primary source of state revenue and a key instrument for financing national development through the State Budget (APBN). This study aims to analyze the determinants of tax compliance among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) taxpayers in Semarang City, with a particular focus on the effects of tax policy, subjective norms, and financial performance. A quantitative associative approach was employed, using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 MSME taxpayers selected via purposive sampling. The data was analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method with WarpPLS software. The results indicate that tax policy and subjective norms have a positive and significant effect on MSME tax compliance, while financial performance shows no significant effect. The adjusted R² value reveals that the model explains 87.2% of the variance in taxpayer compliance. To enhance MSME tax compliance, the government should simplify tax regulations, strengthen social norms through education and community engagement, and ensure consistent, transparent, and fair implementation of tax policies

Local governments in Indonesia rely significantly on local tax revenues to strengthen fiscal independence and sustain regional development. Among these revenue sources, the Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and the Motor Vehicle Transfer Fee (BBNKB) play a vital role in shaping regional fiscal capacity. This study explores how both taxes contribute to the Regional Own-Source Revenue (PAD) of Central Java Province during the 2020–2024 period. Drawing on quantitative analysis and secondary data from the Central Java Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda), the research assesses the effectiveness and contribution of PKB and BBNKB in supporting local fiscal performance. The results show that PKB consistently exerts a positive, meaningful influence on PAD, underscoring its central role in sustaining the province’s fiscal strength. In contrast, BBNKB demonstrates a weaker, less stable impact, primarily driven by changes in vehicle ownership trends and administrative challenges. When considered together, both tax instruments contribute to enhancing local fiscal capacity, although the reliance on PKB remains predominant. These findings underscore the importance of modernizing regional tax administration, particularly through digital innovation, transparent reporting systems, and community-based compliance strategies. Strengthening these mechanisms is essential to building a more resilient and autonomous fiscal framework, especially in the context of post-pandemic economic recovery and long-term regional development planning

This study aims to examine the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure, Return on Assets (ROA), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) on tax avoidance in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 112 observations. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using Stata 16 software. The empirical results indicate that ESG, ROA, and ERP simultaneously have no significant effect on tax avoidance. Partially, each independent variable also shows no significant influence. These findings suggest that ESG implementation and ERP adoption have not directly affected corporate tax behavior, while profitability is not a primary determinant of tax avoidance in the energy sector. This study contributes to the existing literature by incorporating ERP as a novel variable in tax avoidance research, providing additional insight into the role of integrated information systems in corporate taxation practices.

This study aims to analyze the effect of taxpayer compliance and taxpayer awareness on the obligation to pay individual income taxes in Tasikmadu District. Taxes are the primary source of state revenue; therefore, compliance and awareness play a crucial role in optimizing tax collection. However, the compliance level of individual taxpayers in Tasikmadu District remains suboptimal, as many taxpayers have not fulfilled their obligations accurately and on time. This research employed a quantitative approach with a survey method. The population consisted of individual taxpayers registered in Tasikmadu District, and a total of 400 respondents were selected using Slovin’s formula. Data were collected through questionnaires with a Likert scale and analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of statistical software. The results indicate that taxpayer compliance has a positive and significant effect on the obligation to pay taxes. Taxpayer awareness also shows a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, compliance and awareness significantly influence individual tax obligations in Tasikmadu District. The adjusted R² value of 0.420 demonstrates that these two variables explain 42.0% of the variation in tax obligations, while the remaining 58.0% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Directorate General of Taxes improve tax education and socialization programs, as well as expand the use of technology-based tax services to strengthen taxpayer compliance and awareness. Strengthening these aspects is expected to enhance tax revenue optimization and support sustainable national development.

Taxes serve as the primary source of state revenue and a crucial component in financing national development through the State Budget (APBN). This study examines the determinants of individual taxpayer compliance within the Klaten Primary Tax Office (KPP) in Central Java, with particular emphasis on the influence of awareness, comprehension of regulations, and understanding of tax sanctions. The research method uses a quantitative associative approach. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents using a nonprobability sampling technique, using the accidental sampling method. The data was analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results show that awareness, understanding of regulations, and comprehension of tax sanctions have a statistically significant effect on individual taxpayer compliance, both partially and simultaneously. The adjusted R value illustrates the model's ability to explain the data at 64.7%. To improve taxpayer compliance, tax authorities are advised to routinely conduct sustainable and easily accessible tax education programs, enforce tax sanctions consistently and transparently, and be supported by awareness campaigns for taxpayers in fulfilling their responsibilities to the state.

This study aims to examine the effect of firm size, profitability, capital structure, and asset structure on firm value in the food and beverage subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019–2023 period. This causal research employs secondary data obtained from annual reports and applies purposive sampling, resulting in 13 companies with a total of 65 observations. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted after passing classical assumption tests. The findings indicate that profitability and capital structure have a significant positive effect on firm value, while asset structure has a substantial adverse effect. Firm size shows no significant impact on firm value. These results suggest that efficiency has a greater influence on firm value in resource utilization and financial structure management than the size of assets owned. This study contributes to the corporate finance literature, particularly in the context of Indonesia’s food and beverage industry. It provides practical implications for managers and investors in making informed investment decisions.

In addition, this study shows that financial literacy has not effect on MSME performance.

This study analyses the application of the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) system in the manufacturing sector with the main objective of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of company operations compared to conventional cost accounting approaches. The ABC method links costs with relevant activities, thus giving a more realistic cost allocation that assists firms in identifying their inefficient costs and improves the quality of managerial decisions. This research applies the SLR approach in identifying, evaluating, and summarizing findings from various studies on ABC implementation. The search process has been carried out through the Google Scholar database, while the period of search concern is 2019 - 2024. Therefore, from the initial outcome of 588 articles retrieved, only 31 articles with the inclusion requirements were selected to be analyzed in depth. The findings show that companies using the ABC method have superior financial performance and competitiveness compared to those using traditional methods. Although the implementation of ABC requires a significant initial investment, the long-term benefits in the form of efficiency and more optimal resource management contribute greatly to the sustainability of manufacturing companies in the global market.

The management of State-Owned Goods (SOG) is a crucial aspect of asset management that requires an effective and efficient system. This study aims to analyze the optimization of the State Asset Management Information System (SIMAN) as a tool for managing SOG at the Office of State Treasury and Auction Service (KPKNL) Semarang. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this research evaluates the implementation of SIMAN in improving the accuracy, efficiency, and transparency of SOG management. The findings indicate that the implementation of SIMAN successfully integrates all aspects of SOG management into a comprehensive digital platform, accelerating the processes of inventory, recording, and reporting SOG. Furthermore, the system facilitates monitoring and auditing by providing real-time and accurate data. The improvement in coordination among units and the use of user feedback are key factors in the system's optimization. However, challenges related to human resource training and technological infrastructure support still require further attention. Overall, SIMAN has had a positive impact on organizational performance and has strengthened accountability and transparency in the management of SOG at KPKNL Semarang.

This study aims to analyze the influence of intellectual capital, firm size, liquidity, and capital structure on firm value, with profitability as a mediating variable. The research focuses on consumer non-cyclicals sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. The analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression and the Sobel test to measure both direct and mediating effects. The results indicate that intellectual capital has a significant positive effect on profitability, while firm size and liquidity do not show a significant impact. Capital structure has a significant negative effect on profitability. Additionally, intellectual capital and capital structure significantly influence firm value, whereas firm size and liquidity do not. Profitability is proven to mediate the effect of intellectual capital and capital structure on firm value but does not mediate the relationship between firm size and liquidity and firm value. These findings support the Resource-Based Theory (RBT), which highlights the importance of managing strategic resources to create added value, and the Signaling Theory, which suggests that profitability and capital structure provide positive signals to investors regarding firm performance. The study implies that companies should prioritize managing intellectual capital and capital structure to enhance profitability, ultimately increasing firm value. Future research is recommended to extend the study period and consider external variables, such as macroeconomic conditions, for more comprehensive insights.

Financial distress refers to a company’s persistent inability to meet financial obligations, signaling severe monetary strain that precedes formal bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings. This study investigates the impact of intellectual capital (VAICTM), operational capacity (TATO), capital structure (DER), and operating cash flow (OCF) on financial distress (Altman Z-Score), with profitability (ROA) serving as a mediating variable.
