Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are pivotal to the economic development of a country, contributing significantly to job creation, poverty alleviation, and the overall growth of the economy. In Indonesia, including Kupang City, MSMEs are considered a key pillar of the national economy. Despite their economic importance, MSMEs face challenges in fulfilling their tax obligations, with many failing to report taxes in accordance with the law. This non-compliance not only affects tax revenue collection but also hinders the effectiveness of the tax system. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing MSME tax reporting obligations in Kupang City by analyzing the roles of knowledge, understanding, awareness, and tax sanctions. Using a quantitative survey method, the research gathered data from MSMEs registered at the Kupang Tax Office (KPP Pratama). The findings revealed that knowledge, awareness, and tax sanctions have a significant impact on MSMEs' compliance with tax reporting obligations. In particular, knowledge and awareness were found to increase MSMEs' understanding of their responsibilities, motivating them to fulfill their tax obligations. On the other hand, tax understanding, despite being important, did not have a significant direct effect on compliance, which may indicate that practical experience and exposure to tax-related practices play a more crucial role. Moreover, when analyzed simultaneously, all four variables—knowledge, understanding, awareness, and tax sanctions—had a significant impact on MSMEs' tax reporting obligations. These results highlight the importance of targeted interventions, such as comprehensive tax education and regular outreach programs. By offering training sessions, mentoring, and practical workshops, tax authorities can better engage with MSMEs and improve their tax compliance rates.

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of declining compliance levels of motor vehicle taxpayers in Kediri Regency in the last five years, despite the provision of various modernization services. Motor vehicle tax itself is one of the main sources of regional revenue that is very important in supporting development and financing public services. This study aims to determine the effect of income levels, taxpayer awareness, and modernization of the tax administration system on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance in Kediri Regency in 2024. The research method used is quantitative with a causality approach. The population in this study were all motor vehicle taxpayers in Kediri Regency, with a sample of 100 respondents selected using probability sampling methods and simple random sampling techniques. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with the help of the IBM SPSS Statistics program version 30. The results of the study indicate that partially, the variables of income level and taxpayer awareness have a significant effect on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance, while the modernization of the tax administration system has no significant effect. However, simultaneously, all three variables have a significant effect on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance. These findings demonstrate the importance of increasing awareness and community economic empowerment in encouraging tax compliance. Based on these findings, it is recommended that local governments and relevant agencies improve tax education and maximize the use of modern tax services to encourage higher public compliance. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that despite the implementation of modernized tax administration systems, non-technical factors such as income level and taxpayer awareness still have a greater influence on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance. This suggests that improved technology and administrative systems alone are not sufficient to significantly improve tax compliance.

Taxpayer compliance is a crucial factor in optimizing state revenue, particularly in supporting national development financing. However, in practice, various obstacles are still encountered that hinder the achievement of optimal compliance levels. Some of these include employees' low understanding of tax provisions and the less than optimal effectiveness of tax sanction implementation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between tax knowledge (X1) and tax sanctions (X2) on taxpayer compliance (Y) among employees of the Banten Province Cooperatives and SMEs Office. This study uses a quantitative method with an associative approach. The sampling technique uses saturated sampling, so that the entire population of 45 people is used as the research sample. Data analysis was performed using the Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) based Structural Equation Modeling method using SmartPLS software version 4.0. The results show that the tax knowledge variable (X1) has a t-statistic value of 1.190 <1.96 and a significance value (p-value) of 0.234 >0.05. Thus, tax knowledge does not have a significant effect on taxpayer compliance. Furthermore, the tax sanction variable (X2) obtained a t-statistic value of 1.436 < 1.96 and a p-value of 0.151 > 0.05, which means that tax sanctions also do not have a significant effect on taxpayer compliance. Overall, this study concludes that neither tax knowledge nor tax sanctions partially have a significant effect on the level of taxpayer compliance among the employees who were respondents in the study. This finding indicates that other factors, such as personal awareness, perceptions of tax fairness, and intrinsic motivation, may have a more dominant role in shaping taxpayer compliance. Therefore, a more comprehensive policy strategy is needed to increase compliance, not only through increasing knowledge or enforcing sanctions, but also through ongoing coaching, socialization, and persuasive approaches.

This research is motivated by the low level of taxpayer compliance in paying Land and Building Tax (PBB) in Ngronggot District, Nganjuk Regency. This compliance problem is indicated by the high rate of delays and non-compliance in paying tax obligations, which is largely caused by weak enforcement of sanctions, low taxpayer awareness, and diverse economic conditions of the community. This study aims to analyze the influence of tax sanctions, taxpayer awareness, and economic level on compliance in paying PBB. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a survey technique, through the distribution of questionnaires to 100 taxpayer respondents selected using a simple random sampling technique. The data obtained were analyzed using multiple linear regression, accompanied by classical assumption tests such as normality tests, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and hypothesis tests (t-test and F-test) to examine the influence of independent variables partially and simultaneously on the dependent variable. The results of the study indicate that partially, tax sanctions, taxpayer awareness, and economic level have a positive and significant influence on taxpayer compliance in paying PBB. Simultaneously, these three variables are also proven to have a significant influence on taxpayer compliance. These findings provide an important contribution to the formulation of regional fiscal policies, particularly regarding strategies for increasing regional tax revenue. Practical implications of this research include the need to increase the effectiveness of sanction enforcement, intensify tax outreach and education, and improve tax administration services to encourage public awareness and compliance. With the right strategies, it is hoped that taxpayer compliance will increase sustainably and contribute to optimizing regional revenue.

This research is motivated by the fluctuation in the level of motor vehicle taxpayer compliance in Nganjuk Regency, which raises the need to evaluate the factors that influence it. Tax knowledge, quality of tax services, and service modernization through the e-Samsat system are considered important variables in improving compliance. In addition, taxpayer awareness is expected to strengthen the influence of these variables. The main objective of this study is to analyze the influence of tax knowledge, service quality, and e-Samsat system modernization on taxpayer compliance, by placing taxpayer awareness as a moderating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with a causal-comparative research type. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data analysis method used is Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the help of SPSS software version 27. The results of the study indicate that tax knowledge has a significant influence on taxpayer compliance. In contrast, the quality of tax services and e-Samsat modernization do not have a significant influence on compliance. Furthermore, taxpayer awareness was shown to significantly moderate the relationship between tax knowledge and compliance, but did not act as a moderator in the relationship between service quality or e-Samsat system modernization and taxpayer compliance. This finding indicates that increasing taxpayer awareness can strengthen the effectiveness of tax education. However, administrative and digital approaches cannot optimally increase compliance without being accompanied by stronger awareness among taxpayers themselves.

This study aims to describe and analyze the level of community compliance in paying Land and Building Tax (PBB) from a social and cultural perspective. A qualitative approach was used with a case study method in one of the villages in region X which has varying levels of compliance. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, with key informants consisting of taxpayers, community leaders, and village officials. The results of the study indicate that community compliance with PBB payments is not solely influenced by economic and regulatory factors, but also by social values ​​such as mutual cooperation, trust in local government, and cultural norms that live in the community. In addition, perceptions of tax fairness and the real benefits of paying taxes also influence community attitudes. These findings indicate the importance of a cultural approach in tax compliance improvement strategies, especially in areas with strong social characteristics. This study recommends the need for contextual and collaborative PBB socialization with local leaders to build tax awareness based on local values.

State revenue from taxes plays a vital role in financing national development. However, tax realization often faces challenges in the form of low levels of taxpayer compliance, which creates a gap between potential and actual revenue. This study aims to analyze the implementation of tax intensification and extensification strategies in optimizing state revenue, including policy effectiveness, obstacles in the field, and alternative approaches to improve compliance and tax potential. This article discusses efforts to optimize state revenue through two main strategies, namely tax extensification and intensification, with reference to case studies and data from various institutions and regions. Extensification focuses on broadening the tax base through attracting new taxpayers, while intensification refers to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of collection from existing taxpayers. The analysis shows that the main obstacles in implementing these two strategies include low tax awareness, weak monitoring systems, and inconsistent data between agencies. Therefore, a more comprehensive, data-driven, and taxpayer education-oriented policy integration is needed to reduce the compliance gap and promote sustainable revenue growth.

The Land and Building Tax (Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan or PBB) is one of the regional taxes that plays a strategic role in increasing local revenue (Pendapatan Asli Daerah or PAD). PBB is levied on taxable objects in the form of land and/or buildings, as well as on taxpayers who own or control these objects. This study aims to analyze the role of PBB in supporting regional development, the level of public awareness in paying PBB, and the challenges in its collection process. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through literature studies and documentation. The results show that PBB significantly contributes to PAD, especially in areas with rapid property growth. However, there are still obstacles such as lack of public outreach, suboptimal administrative systems, and varying levels of taxpayer compliance. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve service systems, educate the public, and strengthen regulations in the implementation of PBB to ensure it is more effective and efficient in supporting regional development.

Local taxes are one of the main components of PAD which have a strategic role in realizing fiscal independence and supporting regional development. This study aims to analyze tax management in an effort to increase Local Original Income in Supiori Regency. The study was conducted at the Regional Revenue Agency of Supiori Regency, related to the management of local taxes in Supiori Regency. The type of research that will be used in this study is a qualitative descriptive research type. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that the main challenges in managing local taxes in Supiori Regency include low taxpayer awareness, minimal socialization, the absence of supporting regulations, technical obstacles in the field during collection, and limited budget support.
