Introduction The Republic of Indonesia is a country that prioritizes the welfare of its citizens. order to enhance national development. Indonesia strives to increase state revenue from various regions each year. The objective of national development is to improve the welfare of the people, health, education, and economic success (Herry et al. , 2021. Mufidah, 2. course, the Indonesian government needs money for national growth, and this money comes from the income of a country, whether domestic or foreign. The tax sector is a significant source of revenue for the country when compared to other types of income, particularly revenue derived from within the country (Amin et al. , 2023. Sitompul & Puspita, 2. Currently, it is the obligation of every citizen to pay taxes on time. Income tax, abbreviated as PPh, is a portion of tax collected by the government in accordance with Law No. 36 of 2008 concerning Income Tax, which includes applicable income tax types: PPh Article 21. Article 22. Article 23, and so on (Stefhany & Widjaja, 2. The tax payments are collected by other parties. Taxes on funds originating from the state budget (APBN) or regional budget (APBD) must be deducted and collected by the Directorate General of Treasury. Institutions that make payments for procurement of products at the central and regional levels are required to comply with the regulations outlined in the Ministry of Finance Regulation Number 59/PMK. 03/2022, which updates the Ministry of Finance Regulation Number 231/PMK. 03/2019 (Basalamah & Irawan, 2023. Fatmawati et al. , 2. This regulation guides the steps for creating a new Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP) or updating, as well as the ratification and cancellation of taxpayer registration, as well as the deduction, collection, deposit, and reporting of taxes to the government. Payment for commodities purchased and produced by state-owned enterprises or regional-owned enterprises is subject to a 1. 5% rate of the purchase price, excluding VAT, aimed at collecting Income Tax Article 22 from government institutions (Mustika, 2. Jember Regency has the rights, authority, and commitment to manage all governmental affairs and local interests to expand the organization and provide maximum service to the community while carrying out effective development according to the principles of autonomy. The purchase of goods by the Jember Regency government is conducted to support and enhance the implementation of activities that have been budgeted. However, mistakes often occur in calculating, collecting, depositing, and reporting taxes, so tax calculations must be performed accurately to avoid overpayment or underpayment. Therefore, in accordance with existing tax regulations, including those at the Regional Secretariat of Jember Regency, as the expenditure treasurer, it is essential to be vigilant and possess a strong understanding of Income Tax Article 22. Government agencies are obligated to regularly collect, deposit, and report the taxes owed every month or during the relevant tax period (Hasanudin, 2022. Lestari, 2. This study aims to assess the compliance of the Regional Secretariat of Jember Regency with the Ministry of Finance Regulation 59/PMK. 03/2022 regarding the calculation, collection, deposit, and reporting of taxes on purchased goods, as well as the conformity of the implementation of Income Tax Article 22 on the purchased goods, and knowledge about the compliance of the implementation of Income Tax Article 22 on goods purchased by the Regional Secretariat of Jember Regency with the Ministry of Finance Regulation 59/PMK. 03/2022 (Mulya et al. , 2. Additionally, the benefit of this service is to serve as a medium for absorbing and disseminating information to the public. Method Field experience activities are academic activities conducted by students that integrate educational practice, research, and community service over a specific period. The activities are carried out for one and a half months, starting from the departure to the conclusion of the activities, from February 2023 to March 2023. Additionally. Participatory Action Research is a model that serves as a link in the research flow, which is one way of .

The social transformation faced involves how the empowerment process can meet three benchmarks: the existence of a shared commitment with the community, the presence of community leaders, and the establishment of new institutions in society based on needs. This approach seeks answers that can be applied to broad concerns calling for action and group contemplation, placing the research process in the realm of community interests and adding practical theory. PAR (Participatory Action Researc. is a research process turned into a participatory process that has transformed ways of thinking. Moreover, it requires individuals to play a significant role and possess relevant information about the social system or community under study (Harmi et al. , 2023. Silaban et al. , 2. PAR (Participatory Action Researc. provides strategies for changing the types of connections typically established by research and development initiatives between individuals and organizations (Abdurrahman & Muhammad, 2023. Oktaviani, 2. These relationships affect how we perceive our role as facilitators rather than experts in how we interact with businesses and higher education institutions, as well as how we collaborate with one another as students, lecturers, and staff. The PAR approach aims to: . empower the community through critical education with open conversations and discussions, fostering adult learning. shift the focus of research to active participation. lead to changes in social values. Additionally, a structured interview approach is used to generate a service method, where the author employs a descriptive qualitative method. This approach is used in the implementation of Income Tax Article 22 by the General Affairs Section of the Jember Regency Secretariat. This implementation involves staff working in the General Affairs Section of the Jember Regency Secretariat during the Field Experience Practice (PPL). Therefore, we investigate the community service related to Income Tax (PP. Article 22 to ascertain whether the implementation of Income Tax (PP. Article 22 aligns with the Ministry of Finance Regulation of 2022. The issue faced by the General Affairs Section of the Regional Secretariat of Jember Regency is a lack of government trust in SPT reporting, prompting students to report the results of this service and write this scientific work using qualitative methods related to the development of the implementation of Income Tax (PP. Article 22, focusing the activities on Payment and Reporting Procedures. The data analysis technique for this community service is carried out in three stages. The first stage involves receiving payments and existing payment evidence. In this stage, students are directly involved in the payments, observing the conditions in the field concerning taxation in accordance with the Ministry of Finance Regulation of 2022. Through this stage, we identify problems through analysis of the development of taxation. The next stage is Community Service, where students engage directly in payments using Bank Jatim if within operating hours. otherwise, the General Affairs Section of the Jember Regency Secretariat typically makes payments at the Post Office. The final stage involves conducting a payment recap by matching the government agency's payment evidence with the payment receipts, thus generating valid data for tax reporting as evidence for the preparation of accountability letters in government agencies. The evaluation indicates that everything is in accordance with the Ministry of Finance Regulation. however, the payment provision in this government agency only utilizes two payment methods. Thus, it can be concluded that the provisions in government agencies do not align with those in society. The achievement indicator has reached 80% in accordance with the regulations of the Jember Regency Government, demonstrating that the government is compliant in paying taxes, although the expected outcomes from the government fall short of expectations. It is hoped that with the Ministry of Finance Regulation of 2022, many government agencies will report SPT and record tax activities, including transactions, monthly recaps, and annual summaries documented by government agencies as tax assessments.

The second step, students make payments to government The third step, students recap the payment evidence from the agency with proof of payment made. Result The activities in their implementation refer to two sections, namely the Equipment Section and the Household Section. Sometimes, in identifying activities, we can focus on just one section and sometimes refer to both sections, so we identify that the main function is focused on the Equipment Section. The implementation is as follows: Introduction Making a Wet Signature on the Fuel Voucher The students, in this case, make a wet signature related to the number of vouchers that will be used for fueling vehicles or generators, and also indicate the date related to the voucher filling.
