<p>Government Regulation No. 46/2013 has not been optimal in providing legal compliance on taxation for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), especially in Yogyakarta. This policy was evaluated and amended with Government Regulation No. 23/2018. The amendment in tax policy for MSME actors was this research background to examine: First, how does the final income tax policy impact MSME taxpayers' compliance in Yogyakarta? Second, what are the legal compliance constraints of MSME taxpayers? The method used in this research was a juridical empirical, supported with the statute and conceptual approach. The results showed that the amendment in the final income tax tariff policy from 1% to 0.5%, as well as provide legal certainty of the timeframe of taxation had a positive impact on increasing taxpayer compliance. There was an increase in the number of taxpayers to 41,000 in 2019, or an increase of 15.5% compared to the number of taxpayers in 2017. However, tariff reduction has not been the answer to taxpayer non-compliance, the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes of the Special Region of Yogyakarta still found tax avoidance. Tax compliance constraints were also caused by taxpayers' distrust of the government, poor tax morale, and tax knowledge. The government needs to conduct a cooperative compliance approach in taxation policies based on trust and dialogue between taxpayers and the government to improve MSME taxpayer compliance.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Tax Compliance; Final Income Tax Regulation; Micro; Small; Medium Enterprises.</p>

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to better understand the issues on tax compliance. This study aims to examine the influence of patriotism and public governance on the sales tax compliance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and to examine the interaction between patriotism and public governance on sales tax compliance.Design/methodology/approachThis study was carried out by soliciting the opinions of owner-managers of SMEs in Jordan through a survey that was distributed by self-administered. This paper uses partial least squares structural equation modelling to investigate the influence of patriotism, public governance and the interaction of these two mechanisms on sales tax compliance for a sample of 385 SMEs.FindingsThis paper finds that patriotism and the public governance increase and improve the level of sales tax compliance. The findings also supported the interaction effect of patriotism on the relationship between public governance with sales tax compliance. Thus, all the hypothesised relationships were supported.Practical implicationsTax authorities and policymakers in developing majority societies in developing countries and in other Arab countries, especially in Jordan, may use the results to focus their interest on the formulation of policies founded on the outcomes of the study to strengthen the compliance of eligible SMEs to further boost their sales collections.Originality/valueVery few studies have examined the determinants of sales tax compliance, and there has been an absence of work that examines the influence of the patriotism and public governance on sales tax compliance. This paper, therefore, fills a gap in the literature by providing the first empirical evidence about the influence of patriotism and public governance on sales tax compliance of SMEs in developing countries. This study is the initial paper to examine the interaction between patriotism and public governance on sales tax compliance among SMEs in developing countries

The efficient and effective tax education to SMEs in developing countries like Tanzania is critical to overcome the challenges of tax compliances. Despite the trend of tax reforms in Tanzania since 1998, the effects of tax education on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are still poor and many SMEs still see taxation process and cost as constraints to SMEs’ successes (Adam, 2012; Masanja, 2019). The study employed deductive approach, exploratory and descriptive survey methodology. The respondents involved 96 SMEs owners of Morogoro Municipality and four (4) TRA Education Department employees. The data collection tools involved the use of purposeful distributed questionnaires and interviews. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze data. The scope was to produce the frequency tables (Kothari, 209; Mbalwowa, 2014). To determine if the provision of tax education has resulted in tax compliance among SMEs, the results shown that to large extent there were high level of incompliancy on: timeliness for tax payment, voluntary tax payment, use of EFDs, issuance of fiscal receipts and online filing of tax returns. Therefore, the main attributing factors of tax incompliancy have been associated with tax education. The study recommends: to evaluate the tax education programs on revenue collection, complements information technology to disseminate tax education, carry out relational or causal studies of tax education on tax compliances across different demographic characteristics in Tanzania. More importantly, to promote a shift from the tax being assessed by TRA to self-tax assessment among SMEs through tax education program.
