FACTORS AFFECTING INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYER COMPLIANCE: TAX EASE, MORAL PERCEPTION, JUSTICE, AND KNOWLEDGE

This study aims to examine the influence of tax ease, tax morality, perception of justice, and tax knowledge on tax compliance of individual taxpayers registered at the Pratama Tax Office in Surakarta. The compliance ratio in submitting Annual Tax Returns at the Pratama Tax Office in Surakarta has experienced fluctuations over the past five years. The perceived impact of non-compliance in tax payment includes a reduction in the supply of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget and results in structural economic turmoil caused by the accumulation of funding through national debt. The method employed in this research is quantitative research, and the sample used consists of individual taxpayers registered with the Pratama Tax Office in Surakarta. The sample was obtained using a convenience sampling technique, resulting in a sample size of 100 respondents. The findings indicate that tax morality influences tax compliance, while tax ease, perception of justice, and tax knowledge do not influence tax compliance. This research contributes to stakeholders understanding the factors influencing individual tax behavior to design more effective tax regulations.
