Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the impact of tax knowledge and tax penalties on the compliance of individual taxpayers, with service quality acting as a moderating variable, at the Mulyorejo Pratama Tax Service Office. The study population consisted of all individual taxpayers who were registered at the Surabaya Mulyorejo Pratama Tax Office. The study utilized a sample of 100 respondents from a population of 47,115 personal taxpayers. The sample was drawn from the Surabaya Mulyorejo Pratama Tax Service Office in 2018. The questionnaires are distributed using the incidental sampling technique. The data collection in this study was carried out utilizing a questionnaire. The study employed the Partial Least Square (PLS) analytic technique, utilizing the warpPLS 6.0 program. The findings indicated that having knowledge about taxation had a positive impact on personal taxpayer compliance. However, the imposition of taxation penalties did not have any effect on personal taxpayer compliance. Additionally, the moderation of service quality was unable to influence the relationship between tax knowledge and personal taxpayer compliance. However, it was found that service quality moderation had a significant effect. It diminished the impact of tax penalties on the compliance of individual taxpayers.
