This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the COVID-19 tax incentives that the government has issued. It focused on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) taxpayers to participate in COVID-19 tax incentives. Using a qualitative method, this study used in-depth interviews with 2 informants who were a tax consultant and a small-medium enterprise accountant. The findings show that the effectiveness of the COVID-19 tax incentive is still lacking, and it is in line with the participation of MSMEs that is still low in utilizing tax incentives. The low participation of MSMEs in utilizing tax incentives can be seen from the data, which shows that after 5 months of running the program, out of around 2.3 million MSMEs, only 200,000 have taken advantage of this facility. The tax consultant states that the scheme that has been implemented in mitigating the financial burden of MSMEs is not effective for the object of incentives in not substantial. The informant suggests incentives to cover value-added tax also. The government is expected to create a new and better incentive scheme. The new incentive scheme is also to provide an equilibrium of responsibility for both government and society. This paper contributes theoretically by examining new types of tax incentives, namely COVID-19 tax incentives, and helping policymakers make better tax incentive schemes in the future.

MSMEs, which have been said to be productive economic enterprises that are quite strong, are powerless to face the crisis during the Covid 19 pandemic. The government has issued several policies related to decreased income due to the Covid-19 outbreak by providing incentives in the financial sector, namely debt relief for MSME players. The government also encourages MSMEs to innovate and be creative by taking advantage of this geographical advantage into opportunities. In addition, the government also needs to provide a stimulus to maintain people's purchasing power in the midst of this crisis so that the benefits provided to the economy can be felt.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are a pillar of economic development in most national economies - both more and less developed. Enterprises of this type, being more flexible than large entities, are better able to use the opportunities created by the environment. Nevertheless, in the course of their activity, they also face numerous challenges. Thus, the purpose of the presented research is to identify the opportunities created and existing challenges in the development of SMEs in Uzbekistan in recent years. According to the opinion of 384 respondents (CAWI), the most important opportunities created by the government involved tax benefits and subsidies, preferences for export products and tax incentives for those creating new jobs. At the same time, the most important challenges were poor infrastructure, lack of skilled specialists, problems with the credit allocation system and high-interest rates.

Respondents were observed in the South of Tangerang city area with interview techniques. The results of the study showed that in terms of compliance, statistically 2016-2018 showed an increase in registered taxpayers, but the SMEs did not voluntarily pay taxes because they felt they had not benefited directly. In addition, the ability to keep books is still limited. This has an impact on the side of state revenue, which is still low tax revenue from the MSME sector when compared to taxation revenues from other sectors

The purpose of this activity is to provide training on: i) review of tax incentives for MSME actors provided by the Indonesian government in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Finance; ii) tax administration application training to obtain tax incentives; and iii) training on reporting procedures for tax incentives that have been received by MSME actors. On this occasion the FEB Usakti team had the opportunity to collaborate with PD Pasar Jaya, market unit of Santa as a partner, to socialize tax incentives for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has caused a decline in the performance of MSMEs which then resulted in a very significant decrease in MSME income. The Indonesian government through the Ministry of Finance made a relaxation policy in the form of tax incentives for taxpayers affected by the 2019 corona virus disease pandemic. The Indonesian Ministry of Finance then issued a Minister of Finance Regulation number 44/pmk.03/2020, the last with PMK number 82/PMK.03/2021, one of which provides relaxation for PPh payments to MSME actors. Many MSME business actors do not know about this tax facility. For MSME actors who are subject to Final Income Tax based on Government Regulation Number 23 of 2018, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the income tax is borne by the government. The PPh period borne by the government starts in April 2020 and has been extended several times. When the training was held, which was February 24, 2021, the government-paid PPh facilities were still valid and extended until December 31, 2021. This training can increase the understanding of MSME actors towards the tax facilities provided by the government, so that they will take advantage of this facility.</em>
