Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia’s economic development, particularly in job creation, income distribution, and tax revenue contribution. To support MSMEs and encourage formal tax participation, the government issued Government Regulation (PP) No. 23 of 2018, which reduced the Final Income Tax (PPh Final) rate from 1% to 0.5% of gross turnover. This policy aims to increase tax compliance, reduce administrative burdens, and expand the national tax base. This study analyzes the impact of the implementation of the Final Income Tax policy on MSME taxpayer compliance, focusing on reporting and payment behavior. The findings indicate that the tax rate reduction positively influences compliance levels among MSME taxpayers. However, several challenges persist, including limited understanding of tax procedures, lack of socialization, and low digital literacy related to tax systems. Therefore, beyond lowering tax rates, continuous education, mentoring, and the enhancement of digital-based tax services are necessary to strengthen voluntary compliance. This policy is considered a strategic initiative in improving Indonesia’s tax system and supporting sustainable economic growth driven by the MSME sector.

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 article explains the effect of lowering income tax rates during the COVID-19 pandemic. The government's role in maintaining economic stability is carried out by issuing fiscal policies, in terms of taxation, namely by reducing the Corporate Income Tax rate. This research intends to find out the results of a decrease in corporate income tax rates affecting a decrease in current taxes deposited into the state treasury, a decrease in the total income tax burden, and recording in the income statement financial statements. The informants of this research are members of the Tax Rules Update Forum. This type of qualitative research uses a netnography approach. The reduction in current taxes deposited into the state treasury benefits the company by minimizing the costs incurred for the obligation to deposit state taxes. Companies that have deferred tax liabilities receive deferred tax benefits recorded in the balance sheet account, so the total income tax expense has decreased. In recording the income statement, the company has deferred tax assets adding to the deferred tax expense. Deferred tax expense in profit or loss account.
