Taxes play a vital role as the primary source of state revenue and a key instrument for financing national development through the State Budget (APBN). This study aims to analyze the determinants of tax compliance among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) taxpayers in Semarang City, with a particular focus on the effects of tax policy, subjective norms, and financial performance. A quantitative associative approach was employed, using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 MSME taxpayers selected via purposive sampling. The data was analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method with WarpPLS software. The results indicate that tax policy and subjective norms have a positive and significant effect on MSME tax compliance, while financial performance shows no significant effect. The adjusted R² value reveals that the model explains 87.2% of the variance in taxpayer compliance. To enhance MSME tax compliance, the government should simplify tax regulations, strengthen social norms through education and community engagement, and ensure consistent, transparent, and fair implementation of tax policies

Local governments in Indonesia rely significantly on local tax revenues to strengthen fiscal independence and sustain regional development. Among these revenue sources, the Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and the Motor Vehicle Transfer Fee (BBNKB) play a vital role in shaping regional fiscal capacity. This study explores how both taxes contribute to the Regional Own-Source Revenue (PAD) of Central Java Province during the 2020–2024 period. Drawing on quantitative analysis and secondary data from the Central Java Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda), the research assesses the effectiveness and contribution of PKB and BBNKB in supporting local fiscal performance. The results show that PKB consistently exerts a positive, meaningful influence on PAD, underscoring its central role in sustaining the province’s fiscal strength. In contrast, BBNKB demonstrates a weaker, less stable impact, primarily driven by changes in vehicle ownership trends and administrative challenges. When considered together, both tax instruments contribute to enhancing local fiscal capacity, although the reliance on PKB remains predominant. These findings underscore the importance of modernizing regional tax administration, particularly through digital innovation, transparent reporting systems, and community-based compliance strategies. Strengthening these mechanisms is essential to building a more resilient and autonomous fiscal framework, especially in the context of post-pandemic economic recovery and long-term regional development planning

This study aims to analyze the effect of taxpayer compliance and taxpayer awareness on the obligation to pay individual income taxes in Tasikmadu District. Taxes are the primary source of state revenue; therefore, compliance and awareness play a crucial role in optimizing tax collection. However, the compliance level of individual taxpayers in Tasikmadu District remains suboptimal, as many taxpayers have not fulfilled their obligations accurately and on time. This research employed a quantitative approach with a survey method. The population consisted of individual taxpayers registered in Tasikmadu District, and a total of 400 respondents were selected using Slovin’s formula. Data were collected through questionnaires with a Likert scale and analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of statistical software. The results indicate that taxpayer compliance has a positive and significant effect on the obligation to pay taxes. Taxpayer awareness also shows a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, compliance and awareness significantly influence individual tax obligations in Tasikmadu District. The adjusted R² value of 0.420 demonstrates that these two variables explain 42.0% of the variation in tax obligations, while the remaining 58.0% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Directorate General of Taxes improve tax education and socialization programs, as well as expand the use of technology-based tax services to strengthen taxpayer compliance and awareness. Strengthening these aspects is expected to enhance tax revenue optimization and support sustainable national development.

Taxes serve as the primary source of state revenue and a crucial component in financing national development through the State Budget (APBN). This study examines the determinants of individual taxpayer compliance within the Klaten Primary Tax Office (KPP) in Central Java, with particular emphasis on the influence of awareness, comprehension of regulations, and understanding of tax sanctions. The research method uses a quantitative associative approach. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents using a nonprobability sampling technique, using the accidental sampling method. The data was analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results show that awareness, understanding of regulations, and comprehension of tax sanctions have a statistically significant effect on individual taxpayer compliance, both partially and simultaneously. The adjusted R value illustrates the model's ability to explain the data at 64.7%. To improve taxpayer compliance, tax authorities are advised to routinely conduct sustainable and easily accessible tax education programs, enforce tax sanctions consistently and transparently, and be supported by awareness campaigns for taxpayers in fulfilling their responsibilities to the state.

In the era of globalization and rapid technological development, sustainable development has become crucial for a country's growth, especially in the tourism sector, which has significant potential to drive economic growth and environmental conservation. This research aims to examine how environmental externalities from the tourism sector can be effectively managed through the application of green economy principles. The method used is a qualitative approach with literature study, which includes analysis of the concept of green economy, the impact of tourism on society, and policies that can internalize negative impacts. The research results indicate that the application of green economy principles can reduce negative externalities caused by tourism, such as pollution and ecosystem damage, while also improving the welfare of local communities. Policies such as Pigovian taxes, subsidies, and regulations are necessary to support this implementation. Therefore, sustainable tourism management through green economy not only focuses on economic profit but also on environmental and social sustainability.

With a very large number of business actors, through taxes, SMEs play a significant role in increasing state revenue, ironically the tax contribution from SMEs to national tax revenue is still relatively low. This study was conducted to measure how far tax knowledge, tax rates, tax sanctions, and the ease of implementing e-filing, affect the behaviour of SME tax obligations in fulfilling their tax responsibilities. This research adopts a quantitative approach and uses the theory of planned behaviour to explain the phenomenon under study. The research sample consists of 109 randomly selected SME respondents, where the sample size is determined based on statistical calculations using the Slovin formula. By conducting multiple linear regression analysis to evaluate the interrelationship of various variables, using SPSS version 25. According to the findings, respondents' sufficient understanding of tax provisions, the application of sanctions, and the use of e-filing significantly contributed to the increase in compliance, while the tax rate variable did not show a significant relationship.

This study examines the legal conflict between workers' wage claims and state tax obligations in bankruptcy proceedings under Indonesian law, focusing on the constitutional imperative to prioritize workers' rights. The Introduction contextualizes the tension between Article 95(4) of the Labor Law, which mandates wage prioritization, and tax legislation granting precedence to state claims, highlighting the landmark Constitutional Court Decision No. 67/PUU-XI/2013 that affirmed workers' constitutional rights to timely wages. Employing a Method of normative legal research, the analysis integrates statutory and case approaches, reviewing laws on bankruptcy (UU No. 37/2004), labor rights, and taxation, alongside judicial decisions and international frameworks like ILO Conventions No. 100 and 111. Results reveal that while the Constitutional Court’s decision established workers’ absolute priority over tax claims, regulatory disharmony persists due to conflicting provisions in the Tax Law (UU KUP) and the 2020 Job Creation Law (UU Cipta Kerja), which ambiguously subordinates tax claims only to secured creditors. Discussion underscores the necessity for legal synchronization to align labor and tax regulations, ensuring compliance with Gustav Radbruch’s principles of legal certainty and Hans Kelsen’s normative hierarchy. The study advocates legislative reforms to codify workers’ priority in bankruptcy, drawing parallels with Malaysia’s Employment Act 1955 and France’s AGS system, which institutionalize wage protection. By addressing regulatory contradictions, Indonesia can harmonize constitutional mandates with fiscal policies, balancing social justice and economic stability.

Climate change represents one of the most critical challenges of the 21st century, demanding immediate and coordinated global action. While various mitigation policies have been developed, including cap-and-trade schemes and carbon taxes, they often fail to fully address ethical concerns, such as equity, justice, and responsibility. This study explores the potential role of Islamic economic principles in strengthening climate change mitigation policies. Islamic economics, grounded in values like justice (Adl), stewardship (Khilafah), and communal responsibility, offers a moral framework that can enhance global efforts to combat climate change. Through a policy review and comparative analysis, the study examines the alignment of Islamic economic values with existing secular climate policies, highlighting their ability to address social and environmental injustices that often arise from traditional approaches. Additionally, the study discusses the practical applications of Islamic finance instruments such as Green Sukuk, Zakat, and Waqf, demonstrating their potential to fund sustainable projects. The integration of these Islamic values into international climate frameworks is shown to offer ethical and inclusive solutions, promoting a more just distribution of the burdens and benefits of climate action. This paper concludes by recommending that Sharia-based frameworks be incorporated into global climate policies and highlights the importance of future research in understanding the role of religious ethics in climate change mitigation.
