Taxpayer compliance is a crucial factor in optimizing state revenue to support national development financing independently. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of taxpayer compliance in Indonesia by examining two main aspects: individual awareness and the effectiveness of the tax system. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review of various national journals from the last five years. The findings indicate that taxpayer compliance is influenced not only by internal factors such as knowledge, awareness, and tax morale but also by external factors such as tax service quality, system digitalization, and regulatory complexity. Tax reforms and the implementation of digital systems such as e-filing and e-billing have been proven to significantly increase taxpayer compliance through ease of access and reporting efficiency. However, real challenges remain, such as low community tax literacy and perceptions of unfairness regarding the management of tax funds by the government. Therefore, a strong synergy is needed between increasing public awareness through continuous education and improving the taxation system to create sustainable and optimal compliance. Improving transparency and accountability in the management of tax funds is a strategic step to strengthen public trust in tax authorities in Indonesia.

Taxes are a primary source of state revenue and play a crucial role in supporting national development. However, increasing tax revenue still faces several challenges, particularly the lack of public awareness in fulfilling tax obligations. This study aims to examine the role of public awareness in improving taxpayer compliance and its impact on state revenue. The approach used in this research is qualitative, reviewing literature from various previous studies. Research findings indicate that tax awareness, understanding, and knowledge have a positive impact on taxpayer compliance. Other economic factors such as inflation, population, and economic growth also play a role in influencing tax revenue. However, external factors such as socialization and tax sanctions show inconsistent results. Consequently, increasing public awareness through tax education is a key strategy for sustainably improving the country's performance. In addition, transparent tax management and effective government communication are important factors in strengthening public trust and encouraging voluntary taxpayer compliance. Therefore, collaboration between the government and society is needed to create a sustainable and effective taxation system that supports national economic growth.

Taxpayer compliance is a key factor in optimizing state revenue, given that taxes are the primary source of funding for various national development programs. However, in practice, Indonesia still faces various challenges in improving taxpayer compliance, particularly among individual taxpayers, as indicated by the persistent gap between the number of registered taxpayers and those actively fulfilling their tax obligations. This situation indicates that increasing compliance does not solely depend on existing policies but is also influenced by various other internal and external factors. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing individual taxpayer compliance through a literature review approach, focusing on tax literacy, the use of information technology, and the implementation of the CoreTax Administration System (CTAS). The method used is to examine and synthesize various relevant previous studies to gain a more comprehensive understanding. The results of the study indicate that tax literacy plays a significant role in increasing taxpayer understanding and awareness, the use of information technology can provide convenience, efficiency, and accessibility in the tax process, while the implementation of CTAS contributes to increasing transparency and data integration within the tax administration system. Overall, these three aspects are interrelated and play a role in forming a more effective tax ecosystem in encouraging optimal and sustainable improvements in taxpayer compliance.

Taxes are the main source of state revenue that play an important role in financing development. However, the level of taxpayer compliance, especially individual non-employee taxpayers, is still low and fluctuating. This compliance is influenced by several factors, such as trust in the government, tax rates, taxpayer awareness, and tax policies. This study aims to determine the influence of trust in the government, tax rates, taxpayer awareness, and tax policies on the compliance of non-employee individual taxpayers. The population in this study consists of non-employee individual taxpayers registered at the Primary Tax Office under the South Jakarta II Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes. The research sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 96 respondents who met the research criteria. The data used is primary data collected through the distribution questionnaires using a likert scale. This study used a multiple linear regression analysis with the help of IBM SPSS Software version 22. The results of this study indicate that trust in the government has a negative effect on taxpayer compliance, tax rates have a positive effect on taxpayer compliance, taxpayer awareness has no effect on taxpayer compliance, and tax policy has a positive effect on taxpayer compliance.

This research seeks to examine the influence of taxpayer knowledge, taxpayer awareness, and tax sanctions on the compliance of motor vehicle taxpayers in Boyolali Regency. Motor vehicle tax constitutes a significant component of regional original revenue; however, the level of revenue realization has not yet fully met the established targets, indicating the presence of compliance-related challenges. The study adopts a quantitative explanatory design. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 100 motor vehicle taxpayers registered at the Boyolali Samsat Office, with respondents selected through accidental sampling based on the Slovin formula. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software, following preliminary tests of validity, reliability, and classical assumptions. The findings demonstrate that taxpayer knowledge and taxpayer awareness exert a positive and statistically significant effect on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance. In addition, tax sanctions are also shown to have a positive and significant impact and represent the most dominant factor influencing compliance. These results are consistent with Attribution Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior, which highlight the importance of both internal and external determinants in shaping taxpayer compliance behavior. This study is expected to provide empirical support for research on regional tax compliance and offer practical insights for local governments in developing strategies to improve motor vehicle tax compliance.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the implementation of e-Samsat and progressive tax on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance at the Bandung City Samsat Office III Soekarno-Hatta. The background of this study is based on the fact that the level of taxpayer compliance has not yet reached an optimal level, despite the government’s efforts to implement technology-based tax services and fair taxation policies. This research employs a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to motor vehicle taxpayers. The collected data were analyzed using statistical methods to examine both partial and simultaneous effects of the variables.The results indicate that the implementation of e-Samsat has a positive and significant effect on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance. The convenience, speed, and efficiency provided by the e-Samsat system enhance taxpayers’ awareness and discipline in fulfilling their tax obligations. Furthermore, progressive tax is also proven to have a positive effect on taxpayer compliance. The application of higher tax rates based on the number of vehicles owned encourages a sense of responsibility and fairness among taxpayers. Simultaneously, the implementation of e-Samsat and progressive tax positively influences motor vehicle taxpayer compliance and contributes to the optimization of regional tax revenue. Therefore, continuous improvement of the e-Samsat system, along with the fair and transparent implementation of progressive tax policies, is essential to sustainably increase taxpayer compliance and support local revenue growth.

This study aims to analyze the influence of tax knowledge and tax sanctions on taxpayer compliance, as well as assess the role of taxpayer awareness as a moderation variable in individual taxpayers (WPOP) in West Aceh Regency. The research uses a quantitative approach with ex post facto design and survey methods. A sample of 100 respondents was selected through a random sampling technique based on the Slovin formula. Primary data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and analysis using instrument tests (validity and reliability), classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and moderation regression tests to test hypotheses. The results of the study show that tax knowledge has a positive effect on taxpayer compliance. Tax sanctions also have a positive effect on taxpayer compliance. In addition, taxpayer awareness has been shown to moderate the relationship between tax sanctions and taxpayer knowledge. This means that the higher the taxpayer's awareness, the stronger the influence of tax knowledge and sanctions on taxpayer compliance. These findings are expected to be considered for tax authorities in formulating policies to increase compliance through education and strengthening tax awareness.
