Market levies are a regional taxation category that holds significant promise for increasing regional fiscal resources, complementing local tax revenues. The objectives of this study are; (1) Understanding the Communication Mechanism in the Implementation of Market Service Fee Policy in Gorontalo City. (2) Examination of Resource Availability in the Implementation of Market Service Tax Policy in Gorontalo. (3) Understanding the Bureaucratic Framework in the Implementation of Market Service Tax Policy in Gorontalo City. (4) Examination of the Implementation of Market Service Tax Policy Disposition in Gorontalo City. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method. The results of this study indicate that the communication of market service fee policy has been carried out through systematic formal channels and is supported by a clear bureaucratic structure and division of tasks, but its implementation is still not optimal. This is caused by several obstacles, including unequal understanding and distribution of information among traders, limited resources in terms of both quantity and quality of human resources, budget, and inadequate market facilities. Furthermore, weak coordination and suboptimal implementation of SOPs in the field also impact work consistency, while the disposition or attitude of implementers who have demonstrated commitment but are not yet unified requires a more comprehensive strategic approach. Therefore, integrated efforts are needed, including improving the communication framework, strengthening human resource capacity, improving facilities, stricter supervision, and ongoing coaching to create more effective and professional policy implementation.

Tax administration reform is a strategic government agenda to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and transparency of tax management. One effort undertaken is the implementation of an integrated, digital-based Core Tax Administration Sistem (Coretax). However, the success of Coretax implementation is determined not only by technological aspects, but also by the role of strategic management in planning, organizing, and managing organizational change. This study aims to examine the role of strategic management in supporting the successful implementation of Coretax as part of tax reform in Indonesia. The research method used is a literature review by examining various secondary sources such as scientific journals, international agency reports, government policy documents, and official publications related to tax reform and the digital transformation of the public sector. The results of the study indicate that strategic management plays a crucial role in aligning policies, human resource readiness, strengthening information technology, and managing resistance to change. These findings confirm that Coretax implementation will be more optimal if supported by comprehensive strategic planning, improved human resource competency, and an organizational culture that is adaptive to digital transformation.

Taxes are the largest contributor to state revenue in financing national development. Tax compliance is the act of the taxpayer in fulfilling their tax obligations following the provisions of the legislation and tax implementation regulations in force in a country. Efforts made by the government to improve taxpayer compliance are by reforming tax laws and the tax administration system. This study aims to determine the effect of tax knowledge, tax sanctions, the benefit of the taxpayer identification number, and modern tax administration systems on personal taxpayer reporting compliance at the tax office in North Badung. The population of this research is personal taxpayers at the North Badung Tax Office Services, which is based on the data of individual taxpayers, as many as 95,542 people. The sample in this study consisted of 76 individual taxpayers who reported compliance, selected using a non-probability sampling method with an accidental sampling technique. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the tax knowledge variable did not affect personal taxpayer compliance, while the tax sanctions variable, the benefit of the taxpayer identification number, taxpayer awareness, and the modern tax administration system had a positive effect on personal taxpayer reporting compliance. Further research can expand on this study by incorporating other variables that, in theory, influence taxpayer reporting compliance, such as tax services.

Legal uncertainty in the implementation of the carbon tax poses significant challenges to Indonesia’s investment climate, particularly in the non-renewable energy sector. This study aims to examine how the postponement of carbon tax implementation, despite the operation of carbon trading instruments, affects foreign investors’ expectations from the perspective of investment law. The research employs a normative juridical (dogmatic) approach combined with a light event study on major policy milestones between 2021 and 2023, including Presidential Regulation No. 98/2021, Ministerial Regulation of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 16/2022, OJK Regulation No. 14/2023, the launch of IDXCarbon, and the announcement of the carbon tax delay until 2025. The findings reveal varied market responses in fossil-based utility firms’ stocks and bonds, indicating the presence of an uncertainty premium. From a legal standpoint, the asymmetric configuration between delayed fiscal instruments and the ongoing non-fiscal instruments potentially undermines the principle of legal certainty under Investment Law No. 25/2007, while also raising risks related to Fair and Equitable Treatment (FET) and legitimate expectations. Nevertheless, the state’s right to regulate remains a crucial foundation for balancing investor protection with the imperative of energy transition. This study underscores the importance of policy consistency and transparency to maintain investment attractiveness and strengthen the legitimacy of Indonesia’s climate regulation.
