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.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of Income Tax Article 25 (PPh 25) in increasing state tax revenue and reducing the tax burden on taxpayers. PPh 25 is a mechanism for periodic tax installment payments made by taxpayers based on estimated tax liabilities. This research adopts a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the Directorate General of Taxes’ reports, supported by questionnaires distributed to taxpayers within a specific Tax Service Office (KPP) area. The results show that the implementation of PPh 25 contributes significantly to tax revenue by encouraging taxpayer compliance and ensuring a stable cash flow for the state. Additionally, the installment system of PPh 25 helps reduce the annual tax burden on taxpayers both psychologically and administratively, as obligations are paid in stages. However, challenges remain in the accuracy of estimating tax liabilities, which can lead to overpayment or underpayment. Therefore, more intensive socialization and technical guidance are needed to improve taxpayers’ understanding and compliance with the PPh 25 mechanism.

Article 26 of the Indonesian Income Tax Law (PPh Pasal 26) is a significant fiscal regulation that imposes withholding tax on income derived from Indonesian sources and received by foreign taxpayers who do not have a permanent establishment (PE) in Indonesia. The implementation of this regulation plays a crucial role in securing state revenue from cross-border transactions while also addressing the issue of double taxation through Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs). Income subject to PPh 26 includes dividends, interest, royalties, rent, service fees, rewards, pensions, and insurance premiums. The standard withholding tax rate is 20% of the gross or estimated net income, although lower rates may apply depending on applicable tax treaties. The calculation method varies depending on the type of income and the existence of a DTAA. This article also highlights the importance of determining the beneficial owner in applying tax treaty benefits, as well as the challenges faced by companies and tax authorities in enforcement. A case study is presented to illustrate how PPh 26 is calculated on insurance and reinsurance transactions involving foreign entities. Understanding the mechanism, rates, and legal context of PPh 26 is essential for taxpayers and practitioners to ensure compliance and mitigate potential tax disputes.

Income Tax Article 26 (PPh 26) is a type of tax imposed on income received by foreign taxpayers from Indonesia, including royalties, interest, dividends, prizes, as well as technical and managerial services. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Article 26 in cross-border transactions, the level of compliance by foreign taxpayers, and the effectiveness of tax withholding and payment by withholding agents. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review and analysis of tax regulations. The results show that although the regulations concerning PPh 26 are relatively clear, there are still obstacles in its implementation, such as a lack of understanding by tax withholders, difficulties in validating foreign tax documents, and suboptimal utilization of tax treaties (Double Tax Avoidance Agreements). This research recommends enhanced education and training for withholding agents, stronger integration of digital reporting systems, and stricter supervision by tax authorities in order to maximize state revenue potential from Article 26 income tax.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of tax audits and the implementation of online tax reporting systems (e-filing and e-reporting) on taxpayer compliance in Indonesia. Tax audits serve as a supervisory instrument conducted by the Directorate General of Taxes to ensure that tax obligations are fulfilled in accordance with applicable regulations. On the other hand, technological advancements have driven the modernization of tax administration through the adoption of online reporting systems, which aim to enhance convenience and transparency. This research uses a quantitative approach with survey methods targeting individual and corporate taxpayers registered at several tax service offices (KPP) across Indonesia. The findings indicate that properly conducted and periodic tax audits have a significant impact on improving taxpayer compliance. Moreover, the online reporting system has proven effective in increasing efficiency, reducing compliance costs, and enhancing transparency, thereby positively influencing voluntary compliance. The study concludes that the synergy between effective tax audits and a user-friendly online reporting system is a strategic key to improving tax compliance in Indonesia.

This study aims to examine the influence of Perceived Ease and Perceived Usefulness of the Unified e-Bupot System and e-Form on Taxpayer Compliance. The population in this study consisted of corporate taxpayers who utilized the services of tax consultant Edwin Suwandhy. A random sampling technique was applied, resulting in 66 respondents being selected. This research follows a quantitative approach, using questionnaires as the data collection method. The data obtained from the samples were analyzed using a multiple linear regression model. The study’s findings reveal that the perceived ease of using the Unified e-Bupot system positively influences taxpayer compliance. The greater the understanding and familiarity corporate taxpayers have with the e-Bupot Unification system, the easier they find it to comply with income tax reporting regulations. On the other hand, the perceived usefulness of the e-Bupot Unification system does not have a significant impact on taxpayer compliance. This result suggests that the perceived benefits of the system are not sufficiently compelling to improve corporate taxpayer compliance. Similarly, the perception of ease and usefulness of e-Form also showed no significant effect on taxpayer compliance. This is likely because corporate taxpayers feel that the e-Form system is not easy to use, and the perceived advantages of the system are still considered insufficient to drive compliance. These findings emphasize the importance of improving both the ease of use and the perceived benefits of the e-Bupot and e-Form systems to enhance taxpayer compliance. Future policy improvements should focus on increasing user experience and addressing any gaps in the perceived utility of these tax reporting systems, especially for corporate taxpayers.
