This study explores the contribution of regional taxes and levies to Regional Original Revenue (PAD) in Surabaya City and their role in fostering fiscal independence within the framework of regional autonomy. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from the Surabaya City Regional Revenue Agency and relevant local government offices, complemented by secondary sources such as regulatory documents and literature on regional finance. The data analysis process followed McNabb’s (2002) framework, which consists of categorization, interpretation, generalization, testing alternative perspectives, and refining theoretical insights. The findings reveal that PAD acts as a crucial financial backbone for the implementation of regional autonomy, with taxes and levies serving as the primary contributors. On average, these sources accounted for 89.08% of the total PAD during the 2021–2024 period. The growth trend observed is driven by several factors, including the presence of a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework, diversification of tax types and structures, adequate institutional and human resource capacity, as well as increasing public awareness of tax obligations. Although there was a temporary decline in proportional contribution in 2023, overall tax and levy collections exceeded their targets, underscoring their vital role in supporting government administration and regional development programs. This study emphasizes the need for strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing administrative capacity, encouraging greater community participation, and optimizing the use of digital technologies to improve efficiency in revenue collection. These strategies are essential to reduce reliance on central government transfers and to promote greater fiscal independence for Surabaya City.

This study examines the implementation of the advertising tax policy and its role in supporting Regional Original Income (PAD) in Gresik Regency, and identifies barriers that affect its effectiveness. This research adopted a qualitative descriptive approach with data obtained from field studies involving key government officials and supported by relevant literature and regulatory documents. Data were analyzed using McNabb's (2002) framework, which includes grouping data based on constructs, identifying the basis for interpretation, developing generalizations, testing alternative interpretations, and refining theoretical insights. The results indicate that the implementation of the advertising tax policy in Gresik focuses more on intensification than extensification, as intensification is considered more practical and faces less resistance. The licensing and collection processes for advertising tax are carried out based on the legal framework of Regional Regulation No. 8 of 2023 concerning Regional Taxes and Levies and Regent Regulation No. 79 of 2023, which regulates the rental value of advertising as the basis for taxation. Despite significant revenue potential, significant challenges remain, such as inter-agency coordination issues, inadequate data collection, and technical and non-technical barriers in implementing this policy. Unclear legal sanctions and low public awareness and compliance are also inhibiting factors. Nevertheless, advertising tax revenue has generally reached its target, although certain periods were affected by unfavorable economic conditions. This study concludes that to maximize the contribution of advertising tax to local revenue (PAD), improved inter-agency coordination, strengthened institutional capacity, clarified regulatory sanctions, and enhanced public education and engagement are needed. This is expected to support regional fiscal independence in Gresik Regency.
