Optimizing state revenue through government-driven supply chain efficiency and fair corporate taxation practices

Abstract

This research tries to analyze the explicit and implicit impact of the smooth supply chain and fairness of the tax system on corporate taxpayer compliance and its implications for state tax revenues. This research uses quantitative methods, using random sampling techniques, and obtained a sample of 100 respondents consisting of various MSMEs registered with the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs in 2023 who are taxpayers in South Jakarta City, DKI Jakarta Province, Indonesia. The data obtained from the surveys was utilized in Structural Equation Modelling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) for additional analysis. Research results and data analysis show that tax system equity has a direct and significant impact on corporate taxpayer compliance; tax system fairness directly has no and minimal impact on state tax revenues; and corporate taxpayer compliance directly and significantly impacts state tax revenues. A smooth supply chain has a direct and substantial impact on corporate taxpayer compliance. Furthermore, a smooth supply chain has a direct and substantial influence on state tax collections. A seamless supply chain and state tax revenues are largely mediated by corporate taxpayer compliance, which has a substantial impact on both. Furthermore, the relationship between the fairness of the tax system and state tax collections in MSMEs in South Jakarta City is totally mediated by corporate taxpayer compliance.
