This study aims to analyze taxation policies in the digital era, particularly in the e-commerce sector, using a literature review approach based on 22 academic journals. The findings indicate that the most frequently used theories in e-commerce taxation research are the Tax Compliance Theory and Tax Awareness Theory, each cited in five journals. Additionally, qualitative research methods dominate at 38.1%, while quantitative methods account for 61.9% of the studies. Key factors influencing tax compliance in e-commerce include tax understanding and awareness, sanctions and law enforcement, trust in tax authorities, tax socialization, and tax regulations and policies.
