Taxpayer compliance is a crucial factor in optimizing state revenue to support national development financing independently. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of taxpayer compliance in Indonesia by examining two main aspects: individual awareness and the effectiveness of the tax system. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review of various national journals from the last five years. The findings indicate that taxpayer compliance is influenced not only by internal factors such as knowledge, awareness, and tax morale but also by external factors such as tax service quality, system digitalization, and regulatory complexity. Tax reforms and the implementation of digital systems such as e-filing and e-billing have been proven to significantly increase taxpayer compliance through ease of access and reporting efficiency. However, real challenges remain, such as low community tax literacy and perceptions of unfairness regarding the management of tax funds by the government. Therefore, a strong synergy is needed between increasing public awareness through continuous education and improving the taxation system to create sustainable and optimal compliance. Improving transparency and accountability in the management of tax funds is a strategic step to strengthen public trust in tax authorities in Indonesia.

Tax awareness among the young generation is a crucial issue in national economic development, as taxes are the primary source of state revenue. This study aims to analyze the relationship between tax education and young people's perceptions of state obligations in shaping tax awareness. The method used is a literature review (library research) by analyzing various national scientific journals from the last five years. Results indicate that tax awareness among young people is still relatively low, although digital-based education has shown positive improvements. Perceptions of taxes as a state obligation are strongly influenced by knowledge, trust in government, and tax service quality. Interactive and technology-based education has proven effective in improving understanding and positive attitudes toward taxes. Therefore, synergy between government, educational institutions, and digital media is urgently needed to enhance tax literacy from an early age to ensure future fiscal sustainability.

The implementation of corporate zakat in Indonesia remains relatively low despite its significant potential to support national economic development. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of corporate zakat as an instrument for reducing tax burdens and its contribution to economic equality. This research employs a literature review approach by examining relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that corporate zakat of 2.5% is obligatory for business entities that meet the nisab and haul requirements. Based on Law No. 23 of 2011 and Law No. 36 of 2008, zakat distributed through authorized institutions such as BAZNAS or LAZ can be deducted from taxable income. Corporate zakat not only fulfills religious obligations but also plays a vital role in wealth redistribution through social assistance and productive capital for mustahik. Therefore, optimizing corporate zakat can serve as a strategic instrument to promote sustainable economic justice in Indonesia. Effective policies and outreach from the government are also needed so that companies are more encouraged to pay zakat in a timely and transparent manner.

This study examines how regulatory, communicative, and digital literacy among employees of the Gowa Regional Revenue Agency influences tax service quality and taxpayer compliance. A phenomenological qualitative approach was applied through interviews, observations, and document reviews involving employees and taxpayers. The findings indicate that uneven regulatory literacy, varying communication skills, and limited digital literacy contribute to inconsistent services. The study highlights the need to strengthen employee competencies as an implication for improving regional tax service quality.

This study was conducted to examine the extent to which product price and quality influence consumer interest in purchasing MMTC Tax. These two elements are believed to be the main considerations in the purchase decision-making process. This research applied a quantitative method using a survey technique, in which data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires to MMTC Tax service users. The data analysis technique used was multiple linear regression to measure the effect of each independent variable on the dependent variable. The findings show that both price and product quality have a positive and significant impact on purchasing interest. Together, these two factors were found to significantly influence consumers' willingness to make a purchase. Based on these results, it can be concluded that competitive pricing and superior product quality can drive an increase in the purchasing interest of MMTC Tax consumers.

This research is driven by Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning Financial Relations between the Central Government and Regional Governments (HKPD), which reclassifies several taxes, including entertainment tax, into the Category of Goods and Services Tax (PBJT). This policy is further regulated by Surabaya City Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2023. This study aims to analyze the contribution of entertainment tax within the PBJT framework toward Surabaya's Local Generated Revenue (PAD) from 2021 to 2023. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from the Surabaya City Budget Realization Report (LRA) and other official documents, then processed using RStudio. The results indicate that while entertainment tax realization increases annually, its contribution to Surabaya's PAD remains significantly low, averaging below 2%. This suggests that entertainment tax is not yet a primary source of revenue for the city. Based on these findings, the Surabaya City Government is expected to tighten supervision over entertainment transactions through digital systems to minimize fraud risks and conduct comprehensive data updates on new entertainment venues to maximize tax collection.

This study aims to explain the context of the Value Added Tax (VAT) increase policy and its relevance to the trade sector, while also presenting a framework for analyzing the tax burden. The data sources used consist of publications from the last four years, namely from 2021 to 2024. The observed phenomena are then analyzed using various secondary data obtained from scientific journals, official government reports, and other reliable sources relevant to the research topic, in order to provide a comprehensive overview. The conclusions are drawn based on empirical facts, the impacts of the tax increase, and the government’s mitigation efforts to ensure taxpayer compliance. The increase in the VAT rate represents an important step in fiscal reform aimed at increasing state revenue and reducing the budget deficit. This policy has significant potential to support the growth of the national budget, particularly in financing priority sectors such as infrastructure, education, and healthcare. However, the VAT increase may also affect consumers’ purchasing power and trade activities, thus requiring appropriate supporting policies to minimize negative impacts. Therefore, it is expected that this policy will contribute to sustainable economic stability and promote long-term national economic growth.

The implementation of regional autonomy and fiscal decentralization aims to enhance local governments' financial independence. However, fiscal imbalances between the central and regional governments led to the enactment of Law Number 1 of 2022 (UU HKPD), designed to strengthen regional fiscal capacity. This law introduces a piggyback tax system through a surcharge on the Motor Vehicle Tax. This study analyzes the dynamics of the piggyback tax system in Semarang City, focusing on the implications for taxpayer resistance and regional financial capacity. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study reviewed secondary data from regulatory documents, financial reports, and academic literature. The findings show that the shift towards centralistic fiscal policies and the increase in tax burdens have sparked significant taxpayer resistance. This resistance occurs both passively, due to poor regulatory literacy, and actively, through delays in tax payments. The resistance damages the psychological contract between the state and citizens, undermining local financial stability. It risks reducing local revenue, increasing tax collection costs, and limiting fiscal space for infrastructure development. The study suggests that Semarang’s government needs to adopt an adaptive governance framework with transparent tax allocation, digitalization of services, and persuasive policies to restore public trust and encourage compliance.

Public companies must maintain sustainability, as it is related to their value. A company's value can be measured by its share price; a higher market price indicates a company's financial performance and investment returns for investors. A phenomenon has been observed in the consumer non-cyclical sector, which experienced declines and fluctuations in value from 2020 to 2024. This phenomenon indicates that falling share prices lead to a decline in company value. This study aims to analyze the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility, Tax Avoidance, and Dividend Policy on Company Value in companies in the Consumer Non-Cyclical sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020-2024 period. The study sample consisted of 10 companies with 50 data observations selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the help of EViews 12 software. The results of the study indicate that (1) Corporate Social Responsibility, Tax Avoidance, and Dividend Policy as a whole have an effect on Company Value, (2) Corporate Social Responsibility partially has no effect on Company Value, (3) Tax Avoidance partially has no effect on Company Value, (4) Dividend Policy partially has no effect on Company Value. These findings prove that Corporate Social Responsibility, Tax Avoidance, and Dividend Policy together are able to influence company value, even though each variable does not have an effect on company value.

This study aims to examine the extent to which taxpayers’ attitudes toward e-filing influence tax compliance, with the implementation of e-filing positioned as a mediating variable among employees of PT Selalu Cinta Indonesia (SCI) registered at the Primary Tax Office (KPP Pratama) of Salatiga City. The population comprised 18,244 employees, from which a sample of 100 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. Data were processed and analyzed using simple linear regression and path analysis. The results indicate that attitudes toward e-filing have a significant effect on taxpayer compliance (t = 7.708; sig. < 0.001) and also significantly influence the level of e-filing implementation (t = 7.644; sig. < 0.001). Furthermore, the implementation of e-filing has a significant impact on taxpayer compliance (t = 150.765; sig. < 0.001). Additional findings reveal that e-filing implementation acts as a partial mediator in the relationship between attitudes toward e-filing and taxpayer compliance, with a total effect value of 1.225. Overall, these findings reinforce the Theory of Planned Behavior framework, which posits that positive attitudes toward a system can foster the formation of specific behaviors, particularly in the context of tax compliance.

This study aims to critically analyze the determination of the Tax Base (Dasar Pengenaan Pajak/DPP) in the withholding tax mechanism under Article 23 of the Indonesian Income Tax Law for freight forwarding services at PT MPX Indonesia. The research focuses on evaluating the implementation of the “All-In” billing model, where all operational costs are consolidated into a single gross invoice amount and treated as the taxable base. This approach raises concerns regarding its compliance with applicable tax regulations, particularly in distinguishing between service fees and reimbursable expenses. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method using a case study approach. Data are collected through documentation analysis of transaction records, including invoices and Unified Income Tax withholding receipts. The findings are expected to provide insights into the appropriateness of the applied tax base determination method and its implications for tax compliance and efficiency within the company’s operational practices and financial reporting system.

The population of this research consists of individual taxpayers registered in 2023, totaling 182,071 at KPP Pratama Bulukumba. The sample comprises 99 individual taxpayers who utilize E-Registration, E-Billing, and E-Filing systems in fulfilling their tax obligations. The sampling method employed is purposive sampling, based on specific criteria. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The data analysis involved data quality tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing. The results indicate that: (1) E-Registration has a positive and significant effect on individual taxpayer compliance, (2) E-Billing has a positive and significant effect on individual taxpayer compliance, and (3) E-Filing has a positive and significant effect on individual taxpayer compliance at KPP Pratama Bulukumba.

Taxes are the main source of state revenue that play an important role in financing development. However, the level of taxpayer compliance, especially individual non-employee taxpayers, is still low and fluctuating. This compliance is influenced by several factors, such as trust in the government, tax rates, taxpayer awareness, and tax policies. This study aims to determine the influence of trust in the government, tax rates, taxpayer awareness, and tax policies on the compliance of non-employee individual taxpayers. The population in this study consists of non-employee individual taxpayers registered at the Primary Tax Office under the South Jakarta II Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes. The research sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 96 respondents who met the research criteria. The data used is primary data collected through the distribution questionnaires using a likert scale. This study used a multiple linear regression analysis with the help of IBM SPSS Software version 22. The results of this study indicate that trust in the government has a negative effect on taxpayer compliance, tax rates have a positive effect on taxpayer compliance, taxpayer awareness has no effect on taxpayer compliance, and tax policy has a positive effect on taxpayer compliance.

This study aims to determine the effect of green accounting, profitability, leverage, and company size on tax aggressiveness. The population in this study is energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the financial reporting period 2020-2024. The sampling technique used in this study is purposive sampling, and a sample of 35 companies was obtained. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS version 22.0. The results of this study indicate that green accounting has a positive and significant effect on tax aggressiveness, profitability has a positive and significant effect on tax aggressiveness, leverage does not have a significant effect on tax aggressiveness, and company size does not have a significant effect on tax aggressiveness. The results show that green accounting and profitability have a positive and significant influence on tax aggressiveness, while leverage and firm size do not significantly influence tax aggressiveness. These findings provide insight that companies with a concern for environmental impacts tend to implement more aggressive tax policies, and that more profitable companies have an incentive to optimize their tax management.

This study aims to determine the effect of NIK and NPWP matching, Tax Literacy, Tax Fairness, and Taxpayer Awareness on Taxpayer Compliance. This study used a purposive sampling method with a sample of 96 taxpayers in Grogol Utara Village. The data analysis technique used was multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS software version 22. The results showed that NIK and NPWP matching and Taxpayer Awareness have a positive and significant effect on Taxpayer Compliance. This indicates that the better the NIK and NPWP matching and taxpayer awareness, the higher their level of compliance. However, Tax Literacy and Tax Fairness do not have a significant effect on Taxpayer Compliance. This finding provides important insights for the government in improving the tax system through data matching and increasing taxpayer awareness, although tax literacy and perceptions of fairness have not sufficiently influenced the level of compliance.

Taxpayer compliance is a key element in boosting state revenue from the taxation sector. It represents the awareness and adherence of taxpayers in fulfilling their tax obligations in accordance with the laws and regulations. This study investigates the impact of matching the National Identification Number (NIK) as a Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP), the use of digital technology, service quality, and tax socialization on individual taxpayer compliance. The population of the study includes individual taxpayers from Grogol Utara District. A sample was selected using convenience sampling, and data were collected through questionnaires. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS. The findings reveal that matching the NIK with NPWP positively influences individual taxpayer compliance. However, the use of digital technology, service quality, and tax socialization were found not to have a significant positive impact on taxpayer compliance. These results highlight the importance of aligning NIK with NPWP as a key factor in enhancing taxpayer compliance, but they also suggest that other factors, such as digital technology, service quality, and tax socialization, may need further development to improve overall compliance rates.

This study focuses on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Central Jakarta, which play an important role in the national economy, particularly through their contribution to state revenue from the taxation sector. The purpose of this study is to examine how taxpayers’ knowledge and compliance with tax regulations influence tax revenue generated from the MSME sector. The distribution of questionnaires to MSME taxpayers was used as the main instrument to collect research data through a quantitative approach. A total of 164 respondents were selected using a purposive sampling method by considering specific criteria relevant to the research objectives. To evaluate and analyze the collected data, this study employed SmartPLS software using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results indicate that tax revenue from MSMEs is positively and significantly influenced by taxpayer compliance in fulfilling their tax obligations. Furthermore, there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between the level of tax knowledge and the increase in tax revenue. These findings highlight the importance of improving taxpayers’ understanding and compliance as an effort to enhance tax revenue from the MSME sector. This study is expected to provide practical contributions to the Directorate General of Taxes in formulating more effective policies to improve compliance and optimize tax revenue from MSME taxpayers.

This study aims to analyze the determinants of tax aggressiveness in construction, property, and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2021–2024. The sample consists of 80 companies with 220 observations, selected using purposive sampling based on criteria such as the availability of financial statements and the absence of losses during the research period. The variables include tax aggressiveness (ETR), profitability (ROA), leverage (DAR), board size, and firm size (SIZE). Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM with WarpPLS 8.0. The results show that profitability has a negative and significant effect on tax aggressiveness, while leverage has a positive and significant effect. Board size does not significantly affect tax aggressiveness but positively influences profitability and leverage. Firm size negatively affects profitability but positively impacts board size and leverage. These findings indicate that financial factors are more dominant in determining tax aggressiveness than board size, a corporate governance mechanism

The implementation of the Global Minimum Tax (GMT) through Pillar Two of the OECD/G20 marks a fundamental change in the international tax architecture, especially for developing countries such as Indonesia. One of the key instruments in Pillar Two is the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (QDMTT), which provides an opportunity for source countries to retain the right to tax the profits of multinational companies with an effective tax rate below 15 percent. This study aims to analyze Indonesia's readiness to face the implementation of GMT through the QDMTT policy, focusing on regulatory aspects and tax administration capacity. The research method uses literature studies with a qualitative-descriptive approach through the analysis of policy documents, tax regulations, as well as academic literature and international reports. The results of the study show that Indonesia's readiness is still in the transition stage. In terms of regulation, Indonesia has shown an initial commitment through the issuance of PMK Number 136 of 2024, but the regulation still needs to be strengthened at a higher level of regulation for long-term legal certainty. From the administrative aspect, the main challenges include the complexity of calculating jurisdiction-based Effective Tax Rates, cross-border data management, as well as increasing the capacity of human resources and information technology infrastructure. This study concludes that the success of QDMTT implementation in Indonesia depends on strengthening regulations, increasing tax administration capacity, and reformulating sustainable investment policies.

Company value is an important indicator that reflects company performance and investor perceptions of future business prospects and sustainability. Various strategic decisions made by management, such as capital intensity management, investment decisions, and tax aggressiveness policies, play a significant role in shaping company value. This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of capital intensity, investment decisions, and tax aggressiveness on company value through a literature review approach. The method used is a literature review by examining various relevant national and international scientific articles obtained from academic databases such as Google Scholar, Publish or Perish, and SINTA. The results of the study show that capital intensity has a positive effect on company value because it reflects long-term production capacity and operational efficiency. Investment decisions have also been proven to have a positive effect on company value because they signal management's optimism about future growth prospects. Meanwhile, tax aggressiveness can increase company value through tax savings and increased cash flow, but it has the potential to cause reputational and governance risks if done excessively. Overall, the reviewed literature shows that these three variables have an impact on company value, with the caveat that optimal and transparent management is necessary. This study is expected to serve as a reference for further research and as a consideration for company management and investors in making strategic decisions.
