Land and Building Tax Abstract: This research aims to determine how much fines affect taxpayer compliance in paying land and building taxes in South Tondano District. Minahasa Regency. Fines are an important instrument to encourage taxpayer compliance, where late PBB payments are subject to an administrative fine of 2% per month with a maximum fine of 48% or the equivalent of 2 years. The research method used is quantitative, with primary data as the source. The population in this research is all taxpayers in South Tondano District. Minahasa Regency, namely 771 taxpayers who are a sample of 50 taxpayers. Data analysis uses a regression test to test the effect of the fine sanction variable on taxpayer compliance in paying PBB. The research results show that results show that fines have a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance in paying PBB. These findings indicate that the higher the administrative fine imposed, the higher the level of taxpayer compliance because taxpayers will choose to pay taxes on time rather than being late and subject to This research concludes that applying fines has effectively increased taxpayer compliance in paying PBB. Therefore, enforcement of fines needs to be carried out consistently to ensure a higher level of taxpayer compliance. INTRODUCTION Taxes are the main source of state revenue used to finance government expenditure and national development (Devano, 2. There are several types of taxes, namely PBB. VATN. BM VAT, and Income Tax (Anggraini, 2. Of these various taxes, the Land and Building Tax (PBB) has a fairly important role in financing development. This is because most of the taxes are returned to the regions for regional development and other regional autonomy, in this case it is 90% of the overall PBB, and the 10% is still given to the Center. According to statistical data from the Ministry of Finance, revenue from the UN sector in 2023 will reach IDR 43. 1 trillion or a. ISSN : 2828-5298 . EKOMA : Jurnal Ekonomi. Manajemen.

Based on Law Number 12 of 1985, as amended by Law Number 12 of 1994 concerning Amendments to Law Number 12 of 1985 concerning Land and Building Tax, it is known that the basis for the imposition of land and building tax is based on the Selling Value of tax objects. The determination of land and building taxes is objective. Namely, taxes are imposed on tax subjects on the ownership of land/land and/or buildings without paying attention to the ability of the tax subjects concerned. The determination is based on the real situation in the field of the tax object The following is the PBB revenue target in South Tondano District. Minahasa Regency. Although the realization of PBB revenue nationally has exceeded the target, there are still problems regarding taxpayer compliance in various regions. This is reflected in several studies showing that UN taxpayers' compliance level varies and tends to be suboptimal. For example, research in Buleleng Regency shows that PBB taxpayers' compliance level decreased from 80% in 2019 to 47. 33% in 2022 (Febtrina. Ahmad. , & Mustika. R, 2. Similarly, a study in Padamukti Village recorded that the compliance rate of PBB taxpayers only reached 53% in 2020 (Wulandari. Sinaga. , & Utomo. This also happened in the southern Tondano sub-district in Minahasa Regency, as seen in the table below, which illustrates the level of land and building tax revenue that is not in accordance with the expected target. Table 1. Land and Building Tax Revenue in South Tondano District. Minahasa Regency Year Target Realisation Percentage Rp. Rp. 56,62% Rp. Rp. 43,77% Rp. Rp. 44,78% Table 1 shows that land and building tax revenues in South Tondano District. Minahasa Regency, have not met the target for the last three years. The lack of an active role of the people in paying taxes can cause a decrease in tax revenues received, automatically affecting the amount of state revenue and hindering national development. The problem of the lack of realization of PBB revenue from the target is indicated by the factor of taxpayer compliance in paying taxes, which is lacking. Low taxpayer compliance is caused by the government rarely conducting tax socialization in the South Tondano District. Minahasa Regency. This is also due to the rampant cases of tax people committing tax fraud, one of which is misusing tax money for individual interests so that public trust decreases. Tax sanctions implemented by the government also do not run well because there is no supervision carried out by the government. weak and uncontrolled sanctions impact low taxpayer compliance. Nugroho . explained that various internal and external factors can cause a low level of compliance of taxpayers in paying PBB. Internal factors include taxpayer awareness, tax understanding, and income level. Meanwhile, external factors include the quality of fiscal services, tax socialization, and the implementation of tax sanctions. Among these factors, tax sanctions, especially fine sanctions, have a strategic role in encouraging taxpayer compliance. Several previous studies have proven the positive and significant influence of fine sanctions on the compliance of UN taxpayers. Research conducted at the UPTD of Regional Revenue Management of Sukabumi City shows that fine sanctions have a positive and significant effect on taxpayers' compliance in paying PBB, with a t-calculated value of 6. 252, which is greater than the t-table of 1. 66 (Muliari, 2. Similar results were also found in a study in Tegongan Village, a. ISSN : 2828-5298 . EKOMA : Jurnal Ekonomi. Manajemen. Akuntansi Vol. No. Januari 2025 which proved that tax sanctions significantly affect taxpayers' compliance with paying PBB (Santi, 2. However, the effectiveness of the implementation of fine sanctions in increasing the compliance of UN taxpayers still faces various obstacles. One of the main obstacles is the lack of optimal socialization to the public regarding the sanctions that will be received if they neglect their tax obligations (Handayani, 2. This causes many taxpayers to understand still not the consequences of delay or negligence in paying PBB. In addition, implementing fine sanctions is also influenced by other factors, such as taxpayers' financial conditions and risk preferences (Sapiadi, 2. Taxpayers with limited financial conditions tend to have difficulty paying PBB on time, while different risk preferences can influence taxpayers' decisions in complying with or ignoring their tax obligations. In an effort to optimize UN revenue, the government has taken various strategic steps. One of them is by linking public service activities such as making NPWP and borrowing money at banks with proof of payment for the United Nations (Handayani, 2. This step is a form of indirect administrative sanctions applied to encourage taxpayer compliance. The government has also developed a service system for taxpayers using information technology to facilitate the PBB payment process (Sapiadi, 2. This aligns with the principle of good service as one of the key elements in achieving taxpayer compliance and applying firm and fair sanctions (Santi, 2. Based on the description above, research on the effect of fine sanctions on taxpayers' compliance in paying PBB is important. This research will not only provide an overview of the effectiveness of fine sanctions in increasing taxpayer compliance, but it can also be an input for the government in developing more effective tax policies. RESEARCH METHODS The type of research used is quantitative descriptive (Sugiyono, 2. This is used to determine and test the effect of fine sanctions on taxpayers' compliance in paying PBB taxes with taxpayer awareness as a mediation variable using data in the form of numbers. The figures were obtained from the respondents' relatively large answers, so they had to be processed using SPSS The location of this research is South Tondano District. Minahasa Regency. Population is the entire subject of research (Arikunto, 2. According to Sugiyono . , a population is a generalization consisting of objects or subjects that have certain qualities and characteristics that are applied to be studied, and then conclusions are drawn. The population in this study is all taxpayers in South Tondano District. Minahasa Regency, namely 771 taxpayers, who are a sample of 50 taxpayers. Samples are part of the number and characteristics possessed by the population (Sugiyono, 2007:. Sample Size with formula: 1 Ne 2 Where: n = Sample Size N = Population Size e = Maximum error limit tolerated in the sample . %) . mar, 2. Sampling depends on the researcher's ability to see from the time, energy, and funds of the narrow breadth of the observation area of each object because this involves a lot of data and the amount of risk borne by the researcher (Sugiyono, 2. ISSN : 2828-5298 . EKOMA : Jurnal Ekonomi. Manajemen. Akuntansi Vol. No. Januari 2025 Data Collection Methods The data collection method used in this study is data collection through questionnaires. According to Arikunto . , a questionnaire is a number of written questions used to obtain information from respondents in the sense of reports about their personal or things they know. The basis for using this method is that questionnaires are used to collect data from respondents. The questions asked of the respondents are in accordance with the researcher's intentions. The data collected will be easier to analyze and save time, effort, and costs. Data Analysis Methods Descriptive Statistics are statistics that describe phenomena or characteristics of data. According to Ghozali . , the use of descriptive statistical methods provides an overview or description of data. An overview of Fine Sanctions can be obtained by: Minimum score = lowest score x number of questions Maximum score = highest score x number of questions Score range = highest score Ae lowest score Class interval = . ighest score Ae lowest score: . An overview of taxpayer compliance can be obtained by: Minimum score = lowest score x number of questions Maximum score = highest score x number of questions Score range = highest score Ae lowest score Class interval = . ighest score Ae lowest score: . Hypothesis test The statistical hypothesis to be tested is homogeneity, which determines the amount of effective contribution given by the independent variable, namely the Fine Sanction on the dependent variable of taxpayer compliance in paying land and building taxes.

The problem arises from the idea that paying taxes is a sacrifice citizens make by voluntarily handing over part of their assets to the state. Efforts made by taxpayers to escape taxes are an effort called resistance to taxes. Various forms of resistance as a reaction to incompatibility or dissatisfaction with the enactment of taxes are often manifested in the form of passive resistance and active this occurs when researchers conduct research studies in the South Tondano District. This analysis was carried out using quantitative analysis techniques using the SPSS statistical formula . y testing two paired sample. The result of the study is that there is a difference in the average compliance of taxpayers before and after making tax payments to be more transparent, so the data from the research results will be described in detail from Variable X and Variable Y. The data of this study was taken from two categories of Variable assessment, namely Fine Sanctions (Variable X) and Variable (Y) Taxpayer Compliance. This research data is focused on the payment of Land and Building taxes in the South Tondano District. Referring to these two variables, the researcher took a sample of 50 people. The data was randomly sampled, consisting of 25 men and 25 women. the measurement of the variables was taken using an assessment questionnaire in the questionnaire, namely: Strongly agree with the predicate 5. Agree with the predicate 4. Agree with the predicate 3. Disagree with the predicate 2. Disagree with the predicate 1. From some of the assessment items above in this study, the data taken is the result of filling in the assessment item of the presentation of each respondent who was taken, then the results were analyzed using a simple regression method using Variables Entered/Removed statistical data processing using SPSS version 23 software, then the results were assessed by testing the level of confidence in the form of data The research hypothesis of the analysis data results can be seen in following table Table 2.
