This study aims to analyze tax planning for Income Tax (PPh) Article 21 using the net, gross, and gross-up methods to minimize Corporate Income Tax at the Nahdlatul Ulama Hajj Guidance Foundation in Kediri City. Corporate Income Tax is a tax imposed on income received or obtained by an entity, so an appropriate tax planning strategy is needed in accordance with applicable tax regulations. This study uses a quantitative approach with primary data sources in the form of financial reports and payroll data of the foundation. Data analysis techniques include calculating PPh Article 21 using the three methods, fiscal reconciliation, and calculating Corporate Income Tax. The results of the study indicate that there are significant differences in tax burdens between the net, gross, and gross-up methods. The gross-up method results in a lower Corporate Income Tax burden compared to the net and gross methods because tax costs can be deducted fiscally. Thus, the application of the gross-up method is considered more effective in tax planning and can be used as a strategic alternative for foundations in optimizing tax burden efficiency without violating applicable tax regulations.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh munculnya persoalan yuridis dalam pelaksanaan mekanisme Agunan yang Diambil Alih (AYDA) oleh perbankan, terutama terkait validasi Pajak Penghasilan atas Pengalihan Hak atas Tanah dan/atau Bangunan (PPh TB). Kasus BPR RAY memperlihatkan kebuntuan administratif akibat penolakan validasi pajak oleh DJP, yang menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum dalam penyelamatan kredit bermasalah. Rumusan masalah mencakup: (1) bentuk pertentangan norma antara POJK 33/2018 dan PMK 261/2016; (2) penyebab disharmonisasi norma; dan (3) akibat hukumnya terhadap pelaksanaan AYDA. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi bentuk, penyebab, dan akibat hukum dari disharmonisasi tersebut. Metode yang digunakan ialah yuridis normatif dengan spesifikasi deskriptif-analitis melalui studi pustaka dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bentuk pertentangan antara PMK 261/2016 yang mengedepankan pendekatan formal kepemilikan dan POJK 33/2018 yang menekankan substansi penguasaan aset. Disharmonisasi ini disebabkan oleh pengambilalihan AYDA secara sukarela, penafsiran subjek pajak penghasilan, serta ketiadaan regulasi penghubung antarregulator. Akibat hukum disharmonisasi ini terjadi di sektor perbankan, perpajakan dan pertanahan. Hasil penelitian kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teori sistem hukum, teori hukum responsif dan teori keadilan distributif. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan disharmonisasi norma menimbulkan hambatan dalam praktik AYDA dan menimbulkan akibat hukum di berbagai sektor. Di akhir, peneliti memberikan saran akademik mendorong penelitian AYDA yang multi kasus dengan teori hukum yang lebih variative. Untuk saran praktis penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya harmonisasi antar regulator sehingga pengaturan AYDA tidak saling bertentangan. Beban pajak sebaiknya disesuaikan dengan prinsip keadilan dan kemampuan membayar. BPR maupun masyarakat dapat menempuh judicial review ke Mahkamah Agung untuk menjamin kepastian hukum dan keseragaman tafsir regulasi

This study aims to examine the influence of tax awareness, tax knowledge, and tax morale on the level of individual taxpayer compliance. Income tax plays a strategic role as the primary source of financing for government expenditures in supporting national development. However, the level of taxpayer compliance in submitting Annual Tax Returns (SPT) continues to show a downward trend over time. This condition indicates a problem with compliance behavior influenced by various internal factors within taxpayers. Therefore, government efforts are needed to increase tax awareness, expand tax knowledge, and strengthen tax morale among the public. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach with a random sampling technique. The research sample consisted of 30 individual taxpayers registered at the Kediri Pratama Tax Service Office (KPP Pratama). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing with the help of SPSS software. The results show that tax awareness, tax knowledge, and tax morale have a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance, both partially and simultaneously.

This paper discusses the role of the global minimum tax in addressing tax avoidance by multinational corporations in Indonesia. This policy is the result of an agreement between the OECD/G20 (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) in the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) 2.0 project, which aims to reduce global tax avoidance practices by multinational corporations (MNEs). With a minimum rate of 15%, the GMT is expected to create fiscal justice and strengthen the tax base in developing countries like Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative approach based on a review of literature from the OECD, IMF, and academic journals. The analysis shows that the implementation of the GMT has positive potential in increasing state revenues, but also poses administrative challenges and the risk of reducing investment competitiveness. The Indonesian government needs to adjust tax regulations and strengthen fiscal administration capacity to optimize the benefits of this policy. This study also confirms the importance of international cooperation in the successful implementation of the GMT and reducing the potential for tax avoidance by multinational corporations. Furthermore, regular monitoring and evaluation are needed to assess the impact of this policy on the Indonesian economy and to ensure that the implementation of the GMT does not hinder economic growth and investment in strategic sectors.

This study aims to examine the effect of investment in fixed assets, financial performance, and thin capitalization on tax avoidance in non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2023. The research utilizes 431 company samples and employsAmultiple linear regression analysis. A descriptive quantitative method with a purposive sampling technique is applied, ensuring that only companies meeting specific criteria are included in the study. The findings.indicate that, simultaneously, the three independent variables have a significant influence on tax avoidance. However, when tested individually, more detailed results emerge. The variable of.investment in fixed assets does not show a significant effect on tax avoidance, suggesting that the size of fixed assets does not necessarily determine a company’s level of tax avoidance. In contrast, financial performance demonstrates a positive effect, indicating that companies with.stronger performance tend to have a greater ability to engage in tax planning. Meanwhile, thin capitalization has a negative effect, meaning that a higher proportion of certain types of debt tends to reduce the level of tax avoidance. These findings provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing tax avoidance behavior in Indonesia.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the financial performance of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero), as reflected in the shift from profit in 2020 to a substantial pre-tax loss in 2021. This change had direct implications for the company’s tax components, particularly current tax and deferred tax, in accordance with PSAK 46 on Income Taxes. This study aims to analyze the changes in current tax and deferred tax between the two reporting periods and to examine the role of deferred tax benefits in reducing the company’s net loss. The research employs a quantitative descriptive approach with a comparative analysis method using secondary data from the company’s interim consolidated financial statements. The findings indicate that in 2021 the company recognized a deferred tax benefit that converted total income tax into a net tax benefit, thereby reducing the company’s net loss by approximately 15.8 percent. These results demonstrate that deferred tax does not merely arise from temporary differences but can function as an instrument of loss mitigation during periods of financial distress. The implications of this study highlight the importance of accurate application of PSAK 46, especially in times of economic downturn, and emphasize the need for realistic assessments of future taxable profits to ensure the reliability of deferred tax asset recognition.

This study aims to examine the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure, Return on Assets (ROA), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) on tax avoidance in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 112 observations. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using Stata 16 software. The empirical results indicate that ESG, ROA, and ERP simultaneously have no significant effect on tax avoidance. Partially, each independent variable also shows no significant influence. These findings suggest that ESG implementation and ERP adoption have not directly affected corporate tax behavior, while profitability is not a primary determinant of tax avoidance in the energy sector. This study contributes to the existing literature by incorporating ERP as a novel variable in tax avoidance research, providing additional insight into the role of integrated information systems in corporate taxation practices.

This study analyzes motor vehicle tax (PKB) compliance at the Binjai SAMSAT Office (2020–2024) using a quantitative descriptive approach. Significant fluctuations were detected: a drastic decrease in 2023 (83.98%) and a sharp increase in 2024 (167.91%). Service quality and taxpayer awareness have a positive effect on compliance. However, the tax amnesty policy and the effectiveness of fines have complex impacts and are strongly suspected of causing late payments and reducing the deterrent effect. The decrease in compliance in 2023 is thought to be related to the tax amnesty policy, which reduces incentives to pay on time. Conversely, the surge in compliance in 2024 can be explained as a response to improved services and a more intensive tax awareness campaign. While tax amnesty may help increase revenue in the short term, this study highlights the importance of consistent enforcement of sanctions to maintain long-term payment discipline. Recommendations include improving services, improving tax education, and evaluating fines and the tax amnesty policy. This research also emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the impact of amnesty policies on tax compliance patterns, as well as the crucial role of public awareness in increasing compliance with tax obligations. By utilizing empirical data, this study provides valuable insights for future tax policy improvements.  

Compliance with local tax and retribution payments plays a crucial role in increasing Regional Own-Source Revenue (PAD). However, low fiscal literacy and limited effectiveness of existing socialization programs remain major obstacles to achieving optimal revenue targets. This community service program aims to enhance the knowledge and capacity of officers at the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Southeast Sulawesi Province in implementing more effective, persuasive, and adaptive socialization strategies. The methods used include direct observation, interviews, document analysis, material presentation, and interactive discussions. The results indicate that the socialization activities improved officers' understanding of tax literacy concepts, fiscal communication, and technology-based educational strategies. Additionally, the findings reveal that low public literacy, limited use of digital media, and varying public perceptions of fiscal transparency significantly influence taxpayer compliance. This program produced practical educational materials and strategic recommendations that can be sustainably implemented by Bapenda. Overall, the activity contributes positively to strengthening the agency’s internal capacity and refining socialization strategies to enhance taxpayer compliance and support optimal local revenue collection.

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.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia’s economic growth by creating employment opportunities and contributing significantly to the national GDP. However, their contribution to the country’s tax revenue remains relatively low compared to their overall economic impact. This study aims to examine the contribution of the MSME sector to Indonesia’s tax revenue and to identify the factors influencing this contribution level. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT), and the Ministry of Finance covering the period 2018–2023. The findings indicate that the tax contribution from MSMEs has gradually increased over the years, although it still accounts for less than one percent of total national tax revenue. This positive trend is supported by the implementation of lower tax rates, the digitalization of tax systems, and the growing tax awareness among business owners. The study suggests that further administrative simplification and stronger government support are essential to enhance the role of MSMEs in strengthening Indonesia’s fiscal capacity

This study aims to investigate in detail the tax planning and implementation strategies applied by PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk in fulfilling its Corporate Income Tax (CIT) obligations. While taxes serve as a major source of government revenue, they also represent a financial burden for businesses that can impact net profits. Therefore, the implementation of a carefully designed tax planning approach is crucial to effectively manage tax liabilities while remaining compliant with existing legal regulations. The research employs a descriptive-analytical method, supported by a review of relevant literature and the use of secondary data obtained from taxation-related documentation. The study seeks to identify the tax planning protocols adopted by the company and assess their influence on the effectiveness of the firm’s tax-related financial expenditures. The findings reveal that PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk has successfully implemented tax planning strategies through the strategic utilization of deductible expenses as outlined in Article 6(1) of the Indonesian Income Tax Law, which includes expenditures for employee training, research and development activities, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This approach allows the company to legally reduce its tax obligations while enhancing its financial efficiency. The insights gained from this research are expected to serve as a framework for other organizations in developing tax planning policies that are not only effective and efficient but also sustainable in the long term.

This study to analyze factors influencing taxpayer compliance in paying Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) in Sragen Regency. Tax compliance is a crucial issue in state revenue, and understanding the factors that influence it is crucial for designing effective tax policies. The independent variables studied are taxpayer awareness, tax socialization, and the tax system, with PBB-P2 taxpayer compliance as the dependent variable. Data were collected from taxpayers in Sragen Regency and analyzed using multiple linear regression methods.   The results of the regression test indicate that not all hypothesized factors have a significant influence on tax compliance. Partially, the variables of taxpayer awareness and the tax system were shown to have a positive and significant influence on compliance with PBB-P2 payments. This indicates that the higher the taxpayer awareness and the better the tax system implemented, the higher the level of taxpayer compliance. Conversely, the variable of tax socialization was found to have no significant effect on taxpayer compliance. This finding suggests that the existing socialization program may not be effective or needs to be re-evaluated to achieve a more tangible impact.   Based on these findings, this study recommends that the local government and tax authorities in Sragen Regency focus more on increasing taxpayer awareness and continuously improving the tax system. Although the socialization program was not statistically significant, it is recommended to review the socialization strategy to make it more targeted and relevant to taxpayer needs. This is expected to improve taxpayer compliance with PBB-P2, which will ultimately have a positive impact on regional revenue.
