The sampling technique was conducted using random sampling, resulting in 60 respondents who are taxpayers in the Telaga Asih Village area with a duty to pay land and building tax

Findings – The results indicate that income level, tax knowledge, and tax penalties have a significant impact on taxpayer compliance in paying land and building tax.

Originality/Value – This study presents several suggestions and limitations. Key limitations include the insufficient number of distributed questionnaires, resulting in minimal data, and some respondents not taking the questionnaire seriously. Recommendations for future research include incorporating additional variables that influence taxpayer compliance with land and building taxes and exploring alternative information-gathering methods beyond questionnaires for more accurate and engaging findings. Additionally, periodic educational programs on tax obligations and reporting procedures are recommended to improve public understanding and compliance.
