THE ROLE OF TAX KNOWLEDGE AS A MODERATION IN THE RELATIONSHIP OF TAX SANCTIONS, TAX AUDIT, AND TAX AMNESTY TOWARDS CORPORATE TAX COMPLIANCE
Abstract
Tax is a source of state revenue that plays an important role in the development and improvement of a country's economy. According to Law Number 16 of 2009 concerning the fourth amendment to Law Number 6 of 1983 concerning General Provisions and Tax Procedures in Article 1 Paragraph 1 it states that tax is a mandatory contribution to the state owed by individuals or entities that are coercive under the law, by not getting compensation directly and used for the needs of the state for the greatest prosperity of the people. Therefore, taxpayer compliance in submitting reports and paying their tax obligations is highly expected to increase state revenues from taxes. This research was conducted to determine the effect of tax sanctions, tax audits and tax amnesty on corporate tax compliance in the South Nias Regency with tax knowledge as a moderating variable. Determination of the sample in the study was carried out using the random sampling method, with the number of samples used in the study as many as 60 business entities in South Nias Regency which were registered through the Gunungsitoli KP2KP. The results of the path coefficient test show that tax sanctions and tax audits do not affect tax compliance. Tax sanctions do not have a significant effect on corporate taxpayer compliance in South Nias Regency because the level of taxpayer compliance in South Nias Regency registered at KP2KP Gunungsitoli is increasing due to public awareness of the importance of taxes to help increase state revenue and will have an impact on the improvement and development of infrastructure that will be enjoyed again by the community. Tax audits that have no effect on tax compliance are due to the better tax awareness of the community in South Nias Regency so that community compliance to fulfill their tax obligations has been carried out voluntarily. Tax amnesty has a significant effect on corporate tax compliance in South Nias Regency. The policy of implementing tax amnesty is very good to provide opportunities for taxpayers who have long hidden their assets and deliberately not reporting their tax obligations due to the fines that will be paid as a result of these violations. Tax knowledge is not able to moderate the relationship between tax sanctions, tax audits, and tax amnesty on tax compliance. The increasing level of corporate tax compliance in South Nias Regency in an action taken by taxpayers voluntarily due to awareness that arises within themselves to fulfill their tax obligations. Tax knowledge of taxpayers does not play a role or weaken the relationship between tax audits on tax compliance in South Nias Regency. Apart from being caused by ineffective tax audits carried out by tax auditors, it also caused by good tax awareness of corporate taxpayers in South Nias Regency so that taxpayers carry out their tax obligations based on the tax provisions enacted. The increased compliance of corporate taxpayers is influenced by the tax amnesty policy implemented by the Directorate General of Taxes.
