Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia’s economic growth by creating employment opportunities and contributing significantly to the national GDP. However, their contribution to the country’s tax revenue remains relatively low compared to their overall economic impact. This study aims to examine the contribution of the MSME sector to Indonesia’s tax revenue and to identify the factors influencing this contribution level. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT), and the Ministry of Finance covering the period 2018–2023. The findings indicate that the tax contribution from MSMEs has gradually increased over the years, although it still accounts for less than one percent of total national tax revenue. This positive trend is supported by the implementation of lower tax rates, the digitalization of tax systems, and the growing tax awareness among business owners. The study suggests that further administrative simplification and stronger government support are essential to enhance the role of MSMEs in strengthening Indonesia’s fiscal capacity

This study aims to investigate in detail the tax planning and implementation strategies applied by PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk in fulfilling its Corporate Income Tax (CIT) obligations. While taxes serve as a major source of government revenue, they also represent a financial burden for businesses that can impact net profits. Therefore, the implementation of a carefully designed tax planning approach is crucial to effectively manage tax liabilities while remaining compliant with existing legal regulations. The research employs a descriptive-analytical method, supported by a review of relevant literature and the use of secondary data obtained from taxation-related documentation. The study seeks to identify the tax planning protocols adopted by the company and assess their influence on the effectiveness of the firm’s tax-related financial expenditures. The findings reveal that PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk has successfully implemented tax planning strategies through the strategic utilization of deductible expenses as outlined in Article 6(1) of the Indonesian Income Tax Law, which includes expenditures for employee training, research and development activities, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This approach allows the company to legally reduce its tax obligations while enhancing its financial efficiency. The insights gained from this research are expected to serve as a framework for other organizations in developing tax planning policies that are not only effective and efficient but also sustainable in the long term.

This study to analyze factors influencing taxpayer compliance in paying Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) in Sragen Regency. Tax compliance is a crucial issue in state revenue, and understanding the factors that influence it is crucial for designing effective tax policies. The independent variables studied are taxpayer awareness, tax socialization, and the tax system, with PBB-P2 taxpayer compliance as the dependent variable. Data were collected from taxpayers in Sragen Regency and analyzed using multiple linear regression methods.   The results of the regression test indicate that not all hypothesized factors have a significant influence on tax compliance. Partially, the variables of taxpayer awareness and the tax system were shown to have a positive and significant influence on compliance with PBB-P2 payments. This indicates that the higher the taxpayer awareness and the better the tax system implemented, the higher the level of taxpayer compliance. Conversely, the variable of tax socialization was found to have no significant effect on taxpayer compliance. This finding suggests that the existing socialization program may not be effective or needs to be re-evaluated to achieve a more tangible impact.   Based on these findings, this study recommends that the local government and tax authorities in Sragen Regency focus more on increasing taxpayer awareness and continuously improving the tax system. Although the socialization program was not statistically significant, it is recommended to review the socialization strategy to make it more targeted and relevant to taxpayer needs. This is expected to improve taxpayer compliance with PBB-P2, which will ultimately have a positive impact on regional revenue.      

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the role of tax consultants in improving taxpayer compliance with the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate increase policy from 11% to 12%, which will take effect in 2025. The research adopts attribution theory to explore how professional assistance can influence taxpayers’ perception and behavioral shifts toward compliance. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through literature studies, participatory observation, and semi-structured interviews involving one tax consultant and two taxpayers who received VAT reporting assistance. The findings reveal that the role of tax consultants extends beyond administrative functions. They not only assist in technical adjustments such as Coretax system configuration and Periodic VAT Return reporting but also play a crucial role in fostering fiscal awareness through educational and psychological approaches. Empirically, consultant assistance improved clients’ reporting timeliness from 68% to 91% and reduced tax invoice errors by 27% within a three-month mentoring period. Moreover, consultants contributed to shifting taxpayers’ attribution from external factors—such as blaming the system or regulations—to internal factors, including personal awareness and responsibility. These results demonstrate that the presence of tax consultants strengthens both formal and material compliance, leading to sustainable, awareness-based tax behavior. Therefore, tax consultants serve as catalysts for behavioral transformation and play a strategic role in shaping an adaptive fiscal culture amid dynamic taxation policy changes in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the Samsat (Village Unit) communication strategy in improving taxpayer compliance with Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) in Pandeglang Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation studies. Informants were selected purposively, including internal Samsat personnel (heads of technical implementation units, socialization officers, social media administrators, Mobile Samsat coordinators, and the Regional Revenue Agency) and the public (compliant taxpayers, delinquent taxpayers, and community leaders). Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model through reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions through source triangulation. The results indicate that communication strategies through direct outreach, social media, Mobile Samsat services, and the Tax Amnesty Program have proven effective in increasing taxpayer participation and compliance. The amnesty program, in particular, is effective in attracting delinquent taxpayers and has an impact on increasing regional revenue. This study concludes that an appropriate, consistent, and community-based communication strategy plays a crucial role in optimizing PKB revenue. These findings can serve as a reference for formulating more innovative and sustainable communication strategies to increase Regional Original Income (PAD).

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia’s economic development, particularly in job creation, income distribution, and tax revenue contribution. To support MSMEs and encourage formal tax participation, the government issued Government Regulation (PP) No. 23 of 2018, which reduced the Final Income Tax (PPh Final) rate from 1% to 0.5% of gross turnover. This policy aims to increase tax compliance, reduce administrative burdens, and expand the national tax base. This study analyzes the impact of the implementation of the Final Income Tax policy on MSME taxpayer compliance, focusing on reporting and payment behavior. The findings indicate that the tax rate reduction positively influences compliance levels among MSME taxpayers. However, several challenges persist, including limited understanding of tax procedures, lack of socialization, and low digital literacy related to tax systems. Therefore, beyond lowering tax rates, continuous education, mentoring, and the enhancement of digital-based tax services are necessary to strengthen voluntary compliance. This policy is considered a strategic initiative in improving Indonesia’s tax system and supporting sustainable economic growth driven by the MSME sector.

The study aimed to examine how earnings management, particularly in transportation, utilities, and infrastructure companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), is influenced by tax planning, company size, and financial condition. The research method employed quantitative secondary data analysis using inner model analysis and processed with SmartPLS 4.0. The study population comprised transportation, utilities, and infrastructure companies listed on the IDX between 2017 and 2021, with a total of 52 companies as samples, resulting in 243 data points collected for this study. The results showed that financial condition had a positive impact on earnings management, while company size had a negative impact. Tax planning had no effect on earnings management. The study population comprised transportation, utilities, and infrastructure companies listed on the IDX between 2017 and 2021, with a total of 52 companies as samples, resulting in 243 data points collected for this study. This broad sample size enhances the reliability of the findings, ensuring that they are representative of the sector as a whole. The data was gathered from publicly available financial statements, offering an accurate reflection of the companies' financial performance over the period in question. The results showed that financial condition had a positive impact on earnings management, suggesting that companies in better financial health are more likely to engage in earnings management practices. On the other hand, company size had a negative impact, indicating that larger companies may be subject to stricter regulatory scrutiny, thus limiting their ability to manipulate earnings. Interestingly, tax planning had no effect on earnings management, possibly indicating that companies may not view tax strategies as a significant driver of earnings management practices.

This study aims to examine the role of Coretax as a digital innovation in reporting the Periodic Tax Return (SPT Masa) for Income Tax Article 21 (PPh 21), which has been nationally implemented since 2025. Coretax is an integrated tax administration system developed by the Directorate General of Taxes to combine the processes of electronic withholding tax slip (e-Bupot) creation, tax return reporting, and tax payment into one efficient and accurate online platform. The system simplifies reporting procedures, accelerates administrative processes, and enhances taxpayer compliance through real-time data integration and automatic validation. However, the implementation of Coretax faces challenges such as technical issues, intensive training needs for staff at Tax Service Offices, and limited digital literacy among taxpayers, especially micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This study provides an overview of Coretax’s contribution to supporting the digital transformation of Indonesia’s tax system while identifying obstacles that must be addressed to ensure optimal system performance.

This research examines the implementation of tax planning for Value Added Tax (VAT) at the XYZ Accounting Firm (KJA) to enhance tax efficiency. In Indonesia, the self-assessment tax system requires taxpayers to calculate and report their own taxes, prompting businesses to seek strategies to minimize tax burdens and maximize profits. VAT, as a consumption-based tax, represents a significant source of government revenue. KJA XYZ supports its clients in VAT planning through measures such as utilizing automated Excel tools and providing education on tax regulations. Despite these efforts, challenges such as invoice data discrepancies have been identified. To address these issues, it is recommended that KJA XYZ further develop its automation systems and enhance communication with clients. The findings of this study indicate that effective VAT planning contributes positively to clients’ tax efficiency.

This study aims to analyze the efficiency of issuing tax invoices and reporting Value Added Tax (VAT) Periodic Tax Returns (SPT Masa PPN) by comparing the DJP Online system and the Coretax Administration System at CV XYZ. The research focuses on comparing the reporting process before and after the use of the Coretax digital system, as well as evaluating its direct impact on the efficiency of VAT reporting for Taxable Entrepreneurs (PKP). A descriptive qualitative method was used, with data collected through observation and documentation. The results show that prior to using Coretax, tax reporting was conducted through two separate applications, e-Faktur and e-SPT, which led to inefficiencies, input errors, and longer processing times. After the implementation of Coretax, the reporting process became more integrated, automated, and time-efficient. The system also supports digital document archiving and offers automatic validation and notifications, thereby reducing the risk of delays and reporting errors. Although technical issues such as internet dependency, system errors, and user adaptation remain, Coretax overall has a positive impact on improving tax administration efficiency and compliance at CV XYZ.

The implementation of the core tax administration sistem (Core Tax Administration Sistem or Coretax) in early 2025, which was expected to modernise tax services, instead sparked a wave of public criticism due to various fatal technical obstacles. The dysfunction of this sistem not only hampered administration but also gave rise to discourse on distrust of state budget management. This study aims to analyse in depth how the failure to implement Coretax has eroded public trust and damaged the fiscal social contract between taxpayers and the state. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a Critical Discourse Analysis perspective based on Norman Fairclough's model. Data was collected through netnography from public comments and interactions on social media, then analysed through three dimensions: text (micro), discourse practice (meso), and social practice (macro). The findings show that public discourse is not merely technical complaints, but a form of symbolic resistance. At the micro level, sistem dysfunction is interpreted as evidence of incompetence and alleged budget irregularities. At the meso level, the public mobilises collective memory related to past government project failures to validate their distrust. At the macro level, this signifies a violation of the principle of reciprocity, whereby the state is perceived as demanding tax compliance without providing adequate services, thereby triggering a crisis of legitimacy. The implications of this study emphasise that digital transformation of the public sector requires transparency and accountability; failure to respond to this crisis has the potential to significantly reduce voluntary tax compliance.

Tax is a mandatory contribution to the state owed by individuals or entities, which is mandatory under the law, without receiving any direct compensation and is used for state purposes for the greatest prosperity of the people. (KUP Law). The Taxation System (Coretax), which became operational in 2025, with all its news aspects, has attracted much public attention, especially from businesses and individuals, regarding developments in tax reporting, procedures, and regulations in Indonesia. The public is required to understand tax equalization and related aspects, as it can impact the sustainability of both businesses and individuals. The webinar "Smart Tax and Smart Talent: Tax Equalization in the Digital Era" was held as an educational forum for students, academics, practitioners, and the general public to understand the transformation of taxation in the digital era. Through this activity, participants are expected to gain insight into technology-based tax management strategies and develop their readiness as intelligent talents capable of contributing to the national digital economy system.

This study is motivated by the importance of financial report transparency in property and real estate companies, particularly regarding earnings management practices that may affect the quality of information for stakeholders. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of tax planning, free cash flow, sales growth, and managerial ownership on earnings management in property and real estate companies during the 2020–2023 period. The method employed is a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS Version 29. The research sample consists of 21 companies over four years of observation, resulting in 84 financial reports as the research data. The analysis results indicate that sales growth and free cash flow have a positive influence on earnings management, whereas tax planning and managerial ownership show no significant effect. This study confirms that internal factors such as sales performance and cash flow management are more dominant in influencing earnings management compared to ownership aspects or tax strategies. Therefore, companies are advised to focus more on operational efficiency and cash flow management, as well as to enhance governance quality to minimize earnings management practices.

Digital transformation has become a key catalyst in the reform of tax administration in the data-driven economy era. This study aims to analyze the role of digital transformation and fiscal incentives in enhancing taxpayer compliance, with tax literacy serving as a significant reinforcing variable. A quantitative approach was employed using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to active taxpayers in Indonesia. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to examine the relationship between digital transformation, fiscal incentives, tax literacy, and taxpayer compliance. The findings reveal that digital transformation has a positive and significant impact on improving taxpayer compliance by enhancing efficiency and transparency within the tax administration system. Fiscal incentives were also found to be effective in encouraging compliance motivation, particularly when integrated with digital systems that simplify tax reporting and payment processes. Moreover, tax literacy plays a strong mediating role, amplifying the effects of digital transformation and fiscal incentives on compliance behavior. These results confirm that successful tax reform in the digital era depends not only on technological infrastructure but also on improving taxpayers’ awareness and understanding of fiscal responsibility. This study provides both theoretical and practical contributions to the development of adaptive, transparent, and sustainable national fiscal policies. It recommends that the government strengthen the integration of the national digital tax system, develop data-based tax literacy programs, and refine fiscal incentive designs to more effectively promote long-term taxpayer compliance.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan tren dan mengidentifikasi kesenjangan penelitian terkait pajak daerah di Indonesia melalui pendekatan Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Proses identifikasi artikel dilakukan dengan mengikuti pedoman PRISMA dan menggunakan strategi pencarian SPIDER. Dari hasil seleksi, diperoleh artikel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi untuk dianalisis lebih lanjut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tren publikasi pajak daerah meningkat hingga tahun 2022, kemudian menurun pada 2023 dan 2024. Sebagian besar artikel terbit pada jurnal akreditasi SINTA 3–5, sementara kontribusi di jurnal bereputasi tinggi masih terbatas. Dari sisi metodologi, penelitian lebih banyak menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan data survei, sedangkan eksplorasi metode kualitatif dan campuran masih jarang ditemukan. Unit analisis penelitian umumnya berfokus pada pemerintah daerah dan wajib pajak, dengan minimnya perhatian pada aspek sosial budaya masyarakat. Kesenjangan penelitian terlihat pada keterbatasan topik, homogenitas metodologi, indikator yang belum beragam, distribusi geografis yang timpang, serta rendahnya kualitas publikasi. Penelitian ini berimplikasi pada perlunya arah baru riset pajak daerah yang lebih inovatif, inklusif, serta berbasis tata kelola dan pelayanan publik yang berkeadilan.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the motor vehicle tax amnesty program and taxpayer responses to the policy at the West Surabaya SAMSAT office. The tax amnesty program is viewed as a strategic fiscal policy designed not only to increase regional revenue but also to ease the financial burden on the public, particularly among lower-income groups. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the implementation process and policy impacts. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with SAMSAT officials and taxpayers, direct field observations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, supported by source triangulation to ensure validity. The findings indicate that the implementation was supported by digital service innovations such as SMS Push and WhatsApp Push, incentives including fine elimination and an Umrah lottery, as well as law enforcement strategies like joint operations and layered warning letters. Overall, taxpayer responses were positive, as reflected in increased compliance, although potential moral hazard may arise if the program is implemented repeatedly.
