Keywords: Motivation. Competence. Taxpayer Compliance. Revenue Performance INTRODUCTION Background of the Problem The Directorate General of Taxes has made internal improvements by initiating tax administration reform, often referred to as the Modernization of Tax Administration. In 2002 the Directorate General of Taxes began to apply the Modernization of Tax Administration concept with the initial stage of establishing an LTO (Large Tax Offic. in Jakarta to serve the largest taxpayers throughout Indonesia. In subsequent developments, the establishment of tax service offices that apply the concept of Modernization of Tax Administration was also developed in other areas throughout the Tax Service Offices in Indonesia. The targets of implementing a modern tax administration system, according to Pandiangan . , are: . Maximizing tax revenue. Quality of service that supports taxpayer compliance. Assuring the public that the Directorate General of Taxes has a high level of integrity and fairness. Maintain a sense of justice and equal treatment in the tax collection process. Tax Officers are considered as highly motivated, competent, and professional employees, . Continuous productivity improvement. Taxpayers have tools 160 | P a g e https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Vol. No. May 2022 and mechanisms to access the required information. Optimization of tax evasion Achieving the revenue target is one of the main goals of KPP, in addition to a high level of taxpayer compliance. This should be the focus of every KPP employee. Therefore, the existing human resources must really be managed to carry out their respective main tasks and functions as well as possible. In addition, every employee is required to have the ability and driving force for success in implementing the goals of tax modernization. In a performancebased management system, every employee is encouraged to have established values: high integrity, professionalism, synergy, service, and perfection. These values apply to all employees in the ministry of finance. These values are the foundation for the thinking and acting of every ministry employee at work. An employee's performance can be seen from the results of a job as measured by the degree of a person's ability to complete a job. The measure is how successfully the Employee Work Outcomes/CKP has obtained following the targets that have been set. In order to achieve the high performance of the KPP, the human resources of the apparatus must be able to act creatively and innovatively. The employees are directed to concentrate more on their main tasks and functions as government officials in providing excellent service to the community. The interesting thing is that the performance of KPP in the last few years, which is reflected in the Organizational Performance Value (NKO), is not always as expected, which means that the quality of employees in carrying out their main duties and functions is not in accordance with the demands of the assigned tasks. Therefore, employee performance needs to be reviewed so that it is expected to improve and improve the performance of KPP in the Performance is the accumulation of behavior over a long period and in different contexts involving employees. Performance is also influenced by employee motivation and It is essential to study the study of these two things. The study is also essential for policymakers to map, assess and make the right decisions to impact increasing taxpayer compliance and the high performance of KPP. Taxpayer compliance is the willingness and awareness of taxpayers to fulfill all their tax The government certainly hopes that this ongoing modernization will improve taxpayer compliance. Due to an increase in taxpayer compliance, state revenues from the tax sector can also increase. With this research, it is expected to know the implementation of the modernization tax administration system at the KPP and it can be seen whether this modernization has a significant effect on taxpayer compliance, so that it can be used as information for employees to continue to provide better services in the future. Performance results from a process that refers to and is measured over a certain period based on pre-determined provisions or agreements (Fahmi, 2. Performance is the result of work in quality and quantity achieved by an employee carrying out his duties by the responsibilities given to him (Mangkunegara, 2. While the concept of employee performance, according to Sedarmayanti . , is the work that a person or group of people can achieve in an organization under their respective authorities and responsibilities to achieve the organization's goals, concerned legally not violating the law and following as well as ethics. It is important to improve employee performance so that employees have responsibility for the main tasks they carry out and can carry out their work optimally. The concept of motivation refers to the administrative dictionary. Drs. The Liang Gie cs provides a formulation that will motivate or encourage activities as follows: "the work done by a manager in providing inspiration, enthusiasm, and encouragement to others, in this case, aims to activate people or employees so that they are enthusiastic and achieve results. desired of these people. 161 | P a g e https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Vol. No. May 2022 Based on this description, the authors are interested in conducting research entitled: "Determination of Motivation and Competence on Taxpayer Compliance and Revenue Performance.

Tax compliance can be defined as a condition where the taxpayer fulfills all tax obligations and exercises his taxation Siti Kurnia Rahayu . Tax compliance is when taxpayers are willing to fulfill their tax obligations under applicable regulations without the need for inspections, thorough investigations, warnings, or threats in applying both legal and administrative sanctions (Gunadi and Masruroh, 2.

Performance is the result of a process that refers to and is measured over a certain period of time-based on pre-determined provisions or agreements (Fahmi, 2. Meanwhile, according to Torang . , "Performance is the quantity or quality of the work of individuals or groups within the organization in carrying out main tasks and functions guided by norms, standard operating procedures, criteria and measures that have been determined or applicable in the organization. According to Sudarmanto . ) AiPerformance is something people actually can do and observe. In this sense, performance includes actions and behaviors relevant to organizational goals. Performance is the result of a process that refers to and is measured over a certain period based on pre-determined terms or agreements. 162 | P a g e https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Vol. No. May 2022 Performance is an accumulation of behavior that occurs over a long time and in different contexts and involves different people, while behavior is influenced by personal background, motivation, and organizational environment. Performance is a standard measure usually set by others, not by the person concerned. In the organizational context, for example, performance is determined by the organization concerned, and the party conducting the assessment is the manager as a representative of the organization (Achmad Sobirin, 2. Personal Background Motivation Behavior Performance Organizational From the picture above, the motivation process's result is performance. In other words, it can be said that performance must first be determined to motivate employees. Thus, performance functions as a measuring tool, guideline, or standard to determine whether an employee is motivated and shows the expected work behavior. Many researchers have conducted research related to performance, including DK Sofyan, 2013. S Dunggio- 2020 - P Rahmawati - 2012. I GhozaliAe 2017. DAD Nasution 2019. Y Salutondok. AS Soegoto, 2015.

Motivation According to Wagner and Hollenbeck . , motivation is "We human beings have five senses through which we experience the world around us: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. "According to him, every human being is endowed with five senses with which you can feel the world around you. Starting from sight, hearing, smell, taste, and taste. Thus according to them, the definition of motivation is a process where individuals can select, manage, store, and interpret the information collected through the five senses. According to Robbins . Motivation is defined as how individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions to give meaning to their environment. Many factors can affect motivation, starting from the motivational actor, the motivating object, and the existing situation. Fred Luthan . more firmly defines motivation as a cognitive process that is not simple. It is a cognitive process because motivation is not a snapshot Ae or a momentary portrait of a stimulus but rather a continuous walking activity, and one's motivation requires knowledge to process the information contained in each stimulus that is present and captured by a person. From the motivational process described above, it can be said that motivation consists of three main components, namely capturing sensations, paying attention, and organizing motivation. Motivation is different from behavior. Motivation is a psychological process that produces certain behaviors, namely goal-oriented behavior, namely behavior whose goal is to cover up feelings of lack that come to a person. In contrast, behavior reflects one's actions (Ahmad Sabirin, 2. Rumangkid et al. define motivation as the tendency of a trait that is the subject of conflic. in a person that generates support and directs his actions. In the administrative dictionary. Drs. The Liang Gie cs provides a formulation that will motivate or encourage activities as follows: "the work done by a manager in providing inspiration, 163 | P a g e https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Vol. No. May 2022 enthusiasm, and encouragement to others, in this case, aims to activate people or employees so that they are enthusiastic and achieve results. as desired of these people. Motivation has been widely studied by experts, including: W Prihartanta 2015. S Farisi. J Irnawati. M Fahmi 2020. A Setiawan 2013. AS Sinaga. A Kadir. S Mardiana 2020. M Alizadeh 2016. M Akram.

Competence Etymologically, the word "competence" is adapted from English, namely "competenceAn or Aicompetency,An which means skill, ability, and authority. Competence can be interpreted as an individual character that can be measured and determined to show certain behavior and work performance in a person (Spencer. McClelland & Spencer, 1. So, competence is a guide for companies to show the right work function for an employee. According to Jack Gordon . , there are six aspects contained in the concept of competence, namely, a Knowledge, a Understanding, a Skills, a Values, a Attitude, a and Interest. Thus, self-ability, values, and attitudes improve performance. Sedarmayanti stated that the notion of competence is a character that makes a person relate to the effectiveness of individual performance in doing his work. Dean Lyle Spencer and Matthew Lyle Spencer argue that competence can be divided into two main types: Basic competence, which is a mandatory characteristic. possessed by a person to be able to perform various job tasks. Distinctive competencies are various factors that can distinguish work performance in each individual. Charles E. Johnson divides competence into three parts: Personal competency, which is each person's expertise in various matters relating to the development of one's personality. Professional Competency is a person's expertise in various matters closely related to the implementation and completion of certain tasks in his work. Social Competency is a person's expertise in various matters relating to life and social interests. Experts have widely studied competencies, including Ajmal As'ad & Masruhi Kamidin 2020.

Descriptive method is a method of researching the status of a group of people, an object, a set of conditions, a system of thought or a class of present events. The purpose of descriptive research is to make systematic, factual and accurate descriptions, descriptions, paintings and descriptions of the facts, nature and relationships between the various phenomena being Survey research is an investigation conducted to obtain facts from existing phenomena and to seek factual information, both about social, economic or political institutions of a group or an area. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION This section contains an explanation of the influence that exists between the variables to be studied which refers to the test results. This study also explains the extent to which the formulated hypothesis will get empirical evidence. Furthermore, the discussion on the effect of behavioral, motivational, and competence variables on taxpayer compliance and revenue performance is described below. The Influence of Motivation on Taxpayer Compliance Motivation is often also called intention, a person's willingness to take action and behave following the action. This indicates that motivation is actually under the control of the person concerned. A person's willingness to exert energy and behavioral choices is determined by themselves, not by others. Meanwhile, taxpayer compliance can be defined as a condition in which the taxpayer fulfills all tax obligations and exercises his tax rights. Likewise, tax compliance is when taxpayers are willing to fulfill their tax obligations by applicable rules without the need for inspections, thorough investigations, warnings, or threats in applying both legal and administrative sanctions. The partial test results show that the motivation variable has a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance, indicating a unidirectional relationship between motivation and compliance. If motivation increases, taxpayer compliance tends to increase as well. The Influence of Competence on Taxpayer Compliance Competence can be interpreted as an individual character that can be measured and determined to show particular behavior and work performance in a person. So, competence is 168 | P a g e https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Vol. No. May 2022 a guide for companies to show the proper work function for an employee. Competence is formed by several variables, namely skills, experience, personality characteristics, emotional issues, intellectual abilities, and organizational culture. While obedience is an attitude that will appear in someone, which is a reaction to something in the rules that must be carried out, this attitude appears when the individual is faced with a stimulus that requires an individual reaction. Partial research shows a significant effect between the competencies possessed by employees and the level of taxpayer compliance in carrying out their tax rights and The Influence of Motivation on Acceptance Performance Motivation is determined mainly by the role of the indicators that shape it, namely: . Incentives according to the workload. awarding achievements. mastering the field of work in a career. like challenging work, and . works hard. These five indicators need to be maximally empowered to support motivation to improve employee performance at the Tax Service Office. The significant influence shown by motivation is due to each of the indicators that make it up, including the indicator of working earnestly, meaning that employees have worked seriously in completing their work wellAithen followed by indicators of mastering the field of work, meaning that employees master the field of work given to them at this time. Partial research shows a significant influence between the work motivation of employees and the level of performance of KPP acceptance. The Influence of Competence on Acceptance Performance Competence is an ability that must be possessed by an employee in the form of knowledge, skills, expertise, and attitudes or behaviors needed in carrying out tasks. This ability will determine employees' success in carrying out their primary duties and functions as tax officers. For example, the ability to collect data, process, analyze and present the data to explore tax potential. Besides that, the ability to communicate the results of data processing to the taxpayer until the taxpayer makes payments following the analysis results. Thus, the higher the level of competence of employees, the higher the level of success in collecting taxes. The partial test results show that the competence variable has a positive and significant effect on the performance of the Tax Service Office revenue. This means that there is a unidirectional relationship between the competence variable and employee performance, or it can be said that if competence increases, employee performance also tends to increase. The Influence of Tax Compliance to Revenue Performance The level of taxpayer compliance is implemented through both formal and material tax Formal compliance is compliance with the implementation of formal provisions stipulated by tax regulations, including registration and confirmation, obligation to submit SPT . nnual notification lette. , deadline for submitting SPT, and payment and deposit of Meanwhile, material compliance includes the suitability of the number of tax obligations that must be paid with the actual calculation, appreciation of the independence of public accountants/tax consultants, and the size of the amount of tax arrears. Meanwhile, performance is the result of work that a person or group of people can achieve in an organization under their respective authorities and responsibilities to achieve the goals of the organization concerned legally and not violating the law following morals and ethics. Based on this, it can be concluded that performance is the result of carrying out the work of an employee in the organization where they work, and if assigned the task and 169 | P a g e https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Vol. No. May 2022 responsibility of having the ability, skill, and high motivation, of course, will contribute to the company's performance. In the context of KPP's tax revenues, revenue performance is the result of all KPP's efforts and actions by the authorities and the responsibilities it has in achieving the revenue targets that have been set. Efforts and actions include maintaining a high level of taxpayer One of KPP's performance measures is the achievement of tax revenue that exceeds the set target. The higher the level of taxpayer compliance, formal and informal compliance, the higher the tax revenue performance. Based on several studies, including research by AI Sulistyawati. DIT Lestari. NW Tiandari . , prove that the level of taxpayer compliance has a very positive effect on the performance of the Tax Service Office revenue. Conceptual Framework Based on the formulation of the problem, theoretical studies, relevant previous research, and discussion of the influence between variables, the framework for thinking in this article are as follows. Motivation Taxpayer Competence Revenue A1 Picture 1: Conceptual framework Based on the theoretical review and review of relevant research results and the conceptual framework picture above, motivation and competence affect taxpayer compliance and performance either directly or indirectly. Apart from the motivation and competence variables that affect compliance and performance, many other variables influence it, including the following variables: Leadership: (Juniartha et al. , 2. , (Maabuat, 2. , (Ansori & Ali, 2. , (No et al. , (Agussalim et al. , 2. , (Widodo et al. , 2. , (Limakrisna et al. , 2. , (Anwar et al. , 2.

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS Conclusions 170 | P a g e https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Vol. No. May 2022 Based on theory, relevant articles and discussions, hypotheses can be formulated for further research. Employee motivation affects taxpayer compliance Motivation has an effect on Acceptance Performance Employee competence affects taxpayer compliance Competence has an effect on Acceptance Performance Taxpayer compliance has an effect on Revenue Performance. Suggestions Based on the conclusions above, the suggestion in this article is that there are many other factors that influence Taxpayer Compliance and Organizational Performance, apart from Motivation and Competence at all types and levels of organizations or companies, therefore further studies are still needed to find out What other factors can influence taxpayer compliance and revenue performance other than those examined in this article such as motivation and competence BIBLIOGRAPHY
