The COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in early 2020 caused a decrease in the turnover or income of individual taxpayers. Tax avoidance and tax incentives are considered a strategy by taxpayers to reduce tax payments and manage their funds, especially during this pandemic. The condition of the Taxpayer certainly affects the fulfillment of his tax obligations. On the other hand, taxpayer compliance will have an impact on state revenues. Individual taxpayer perspectives on aspects of accounting and taxation knowledge are important to realize the level of taxpayer compliance. This study also relates the efforts of tax avoidance and government tax incentives as mediating variables. The sample data obtained were 131 individual entrepreneur taxpayers who took advantage of tax incentives in Surabaya and its surroundings. The regression test results showed that accounting and taxation knowledge affect tax avoidance efforts, tax incentives, and taxpayer compliance. The results of the Sobel test show that tax avoidance and tax incentives can mediate the impact of accounting and taxation knowledge on taxpayer compliance. The test results of control variables (gender, education, training, length of business, number of employees, business turnover) showed no effect on taxpayer compliance.

This study proposes and tests two hypotheses concerning the effects of hotel industry operations on air quality based on data of 26 major tourist cities in China from 2002 to 2017. The empirical analyses take two steps. In the first step, panel regression test results reveal that hotel industry operations (measured by hotel sales revenue) significantly raise the value of particulate matter (PM)2.5 (the key indicator of air quality), supporting the first hypothesis that hotel industry operations deteriorate air quality and providing empirical evidence of the adverse impact of the hotel industry on air quality. In the second step, subsample analyses support the second hypothesis that the impact of hotel sales revenue on air quality diminishes over time. The results from the rolling regression tests validate the existence of a diminishing effect of hotel industry operations on air quality.

Abstrak Bawang merah merupakan salah satu komoditas hortikultural penting yang dikonsumsi oleh penduduk Indonesia. Insektisida golongan organofosfat yang digunakan petani bawang merah mengandung senyawa klorpirifos. Penggunaan pestisida dengan intensitas yang terlalu tinggi dan berkelanjutan menimbulkan berbagai masalah kesehatan dan pencemaran lingkungan, penurunan produktivitas tanah, keracunan pada hewan dan manusia. Penelitian ini menganalisis dampak cemaran residu klorpirifos terhadap penurunan kualitas lingkungan pada lahan pertanian. Metode pengambilan sampel menggunakan purposive sampling. Penentuan kadar residu klorpirifos dalam tanah menggunakan gas kromatografi dengan detektor ECD dan uji regresi linear. Kadar residu klorpirifos terbesar pada penggunaan insektisida dengan konsentrasi 1,0% atau 10.000 mg/kg yaitu sebesar 1,83 mg/kg. Hasil pengujian sampel A, B, C, D dan E menunjukkan tingginya kadar residu klorpirifos karena melebihi batas maksimum residu klorpirifos sebesar 2 mg/kg. Dampak cemaran residu klorpirifos dalam tanah dapat menyebabkan perubahan pH, turunnya jumlah organisme dalam tanah serta turunnya kandungan C-organik dan N-total tanah. Abstract  Shallots are one of the important horticultural commodities that are consumed by Indonesians. The organophosphate class insecticide used by shallot farmers contains chlorpyrifos compounds. The use of pesticides with too high intensity and sustainable causes various health problems and environmental pollution, decreased soil productivity, is potentially poisoning to animals and humans. The study analysed the impact of chlorpyrifos residue contamination on environmental quality degradation in agricultural land. The sampling method used was purposive sampling.The determination of chlorpyrifos residue in the soil was undertakeun using gas chromatography with an ECD detector and a linear regression test. The highest residual chlorpyrifos concentration was found in the use of insecticides with a concentration of 1.0% or 10,000 mg / kg, which was 1.83 mg / kg. The test results of samples A, B, C, D and E showed high levels of chlorpyrifos residue because they exceeded the maximum residue limit of 2 mg / kg chlorpyrifos. The impact of chlorpyrifos residue contamination in the soil can cause pH changes, a decrease in the number of organisms in the soil and a decrease in the total soil C-organic and N-content.

Abstract The paper explores the relationship between the taxpayers’ trust in government and their willingness to pay taxes. When honored, trust promotes feelings of goodwill between individuals, strengthens democracy, and reduces transaction costs in economic exchange. Literature on government regulation finds that if citizens trust the government they are more likely to comply with laws and regulations. In this article, the index of trust in government calculated by the American National Elections Studies (ANES) and the AGI (adjusted gross income) gap produced by the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) are used to test an empirical model if trust in government has a positive impact on tax compliance of the least compliant taxpayers group - nonfarm sole proprietors - controlling for the deterrent effects of tax enforcement. The results indicate that the higher trust in government improves tax compliance. The paper contributes to the existing literature on tax compliance by combining survey and statistical income reporting data to find evidence that perceptions about the trust in the government translate into actual tax payments

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are expected to be able to contribute to state revenue through tax sectors. The purpose of this study is to determine a profile of poultry business, meaning of tax compliance for poultry business owners, tax avoidance of poultry business owners, and to determine efforts to overcome tax avoidance behavior in poultry business owners in the regency of Blitar. The nature of this study is a qualitative or naturalistic paradigm with a phenomenological approach; Hussrel's transcendental phenomenology involving three interviews. We also interviewed with one tax officer from the tax office. The data were collected from interviews, participant observation, and documentation study. The data were analyzed by descriptions with Hussrel's transcendental phenomenological approach, namely Intentional Analysis, Epoche, and Eidetic Reduction. Data validation was carried out by several triangulation techniques. The results show that the poultry businesses are MSMEs that fall into the medium business category and are the main source of income for the owners. Though they are aware of tax and their obligations, their level of tax compliance remains low. The business owners are aware of tax avoidance, even doing so by reducing the tax payments through tax planning. Thus, efforts should be made to discourage tax avoidance.

The chapter explains that investment treaties are not the only drivers of Chinese foreign direct investments (FDIs). Tax factors also play an important role in impacting foreign direct investment into China (FDIs into China) and Chinese investment to other countries (Chinese outbound investment). This chapter examines the following questions: what are the impacts of tax factors on FDIs? Is the Chinese experience on using tax instruments consistent with these empirical findings? Whether China’s implementation of anti-tax avoidance measures might drive FDIs away from China? What are the tax competition concerns for China? The last section contains a conclusion. This chapter demonstrates that, despite the fact that debates are still ongoing about the impact of tax factors on FDI, Chinese experience shows that tax factors are used extensively by the Chinese government in both attracting FDIs into China as well as relieving tax disadvantages of Chinese outbound investment. Although China’s experience still cannot solve the mystery of whether tax incentives are effective on impacting FDIs, its implementing anti-tax avoidance measures in recent years have disclosed that tax transparency and certainty are important tax factors impacting business decisions. Therefore, China should take further into account the impact of tax factors on business before FDIs are scared away when implementing aggressive anti-tax avoidance measures.
