Abstract

This research is a causality study that examines the effect of local taxes, levies, and profit-sharing funds on the Aceh government's capital expenditure. Secondary data that is analazed in this study is the local government financial statements which are a form of budget realization reports (LRA) of district/city revenues and expenditures from 2013 to 2017 from the Audit Board (BPK) as Aceh representatives. Data from 23 districts/cities within a period of 5 years starting from 2013-2017 were analyzed so that 115 units of analysis were obtained. This study used multiple linear regression models in analyzing the data. The study found that; Local government taxes affected capital expenditure in 2013-2017 for the Aceh government. The Regional Retribution and Profit-Sharing Fund (DBH) has no effect on capital expenditure. However, local taxes, levies, and profit-sharing funds simultaneously affected infrastructure capital expenditure in Aceh in the 2013-2017 period. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that local government taxes have a significant influence on capital expenditure in Aceh in the 2013-2017 period. Therefore, the Aceh local government can consider more appropriate tax policies to increase capital expenditure and increase infrastructure development in Aceh.
