Pengaruh Aplikasi M-Pajak dan Kesadaran Pajak terhadap Kepatuhan Pajak UMKM Bandung
Abstract. The tax compliance level among MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) actors in Indonesia remains low, despite government efforts such as the provision of the M-Pajak application. According to DDTC data, although most MSMEs are registered as taxpayers, only a few truly understand the applicable tax regulations. This is concerning, considering the strategic role of MSMEs in contributing to national GDP and tax revenue. The gap between technological availability and taxpayer awareness is a key issue. This study aims to examine the influence of the M-Pajak application and tax awareness on the tax compliance of MSMEs in the food and beverage sector in the Greater Bandung area. Using a quantitative approach with a descriptive-verificative method, data were collected from 38 respondents and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) with SmartPLS 3.0. The results show that the M-Pajak application has a positive but insignificant effect on tax compliance. In contrast, tax awareness has a positive and significant effect. These findings suggest that technology alone is insufficient to enhance compliance without being supported by internal factors such as understanding, attitude, and a sense of responsibility among taxpayers. Abstrak. Tingkat kepatuhan pajak pelaku UMKM di Indonesia masih rendah, meskipun pemerintah telah menyediakan fasilitas seperti Aplikasi M-Pajak. Data dari DDTC menunjukkan bahwa meski sebagian besar UMKM telah terdaftar sebagai wajib pajak, hanya sedikit yang memahami regulasi perpajakan secara mendalam. Padahal, UMKM memiliki peran penting dalam PDB dan penerimaan pajak negara. Ketimpangan antara ketersediaan teknologi dan kesadaran wajib pajak menjadi masalah utama. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji pengaruh Aplikasi M-Pajak dan kesadaran pajak terhadap kepatuhan UMKM sektor makanan dan minuman di Bandung Raya. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode deskriptif-verifikatif, data diperoleh dari 38 responden dan dianalisis melalui SEM-PLS dengan SmartPLS 3.0. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa Aplikasi M-Pajak berpengaruh positif namun tidak signifikan terhadap kepatuhan pajak. Sebaliknya, kesadaran pajak berpengaruh positif dan signifikan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa teknologi saja tidak cukup untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan, tanpa diiringi faktor internal seperti pemahaman, sikap, dan tanggung jawab wajib pajak.
