INTRODUCTION

In Indonesia, President Joko Widodo has officially designated Covid-19 as a non-natural national disaster.� This determination is stated through the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia No. 12 of 2020 (Presidential Decree No. 12 of 2020) (M. L. Ghozali, 2011). This presidential decree stipulates the implementation of covid-19 mitigation. At the time of the establishment of the Covid-19 Pandemic as a National Disaster on April 13, 2020, the map of the distribution of Covid-19 in Indonesia which has been confirmed positive is 4,557 cases which are not only centralized in Jakarta and until now the covid 19 distribution map as of September 30, 2020 is 287,008 Positive confirmed cases, 214,947 declared Cured and 10.740 deaths. Of these, 73,736 Positive Cases are dominated in the DKI Jakarta area (I. Ghozali, 2016).

The Covid-19 pandemic, which is still spreading, has resulted in a significant evaluation and deregulation of the national economy (Hartati, 2015). One of the pillars of the national economy is in the tax revenue sector. The role of a fast-growing and dynamic society must be utilized, namely in the context of accelerating health recovery and national economic recovery. Before the Pandemic and during the Covid-19 Pandemic, the role of the community as taxpayers was an important role as a form of participation in national development. and sources of funding what is accepted by the state must be managed with high discretion and allocated for the welfare of the people, especially in order to mitigate the impact of the Covid pandemic 19. Next .ini be Recapitulation Acceptance Country Year 2019 (Kabir et al., 2017).

When viewed from Figure 1, the trend of state revenue from 2016 to 2019 has increased every year, this is supported by the trend of tax revenue which also continues to increase every year, the increase in 2019 is amounting to 237.9 trillion rupiah or an increase of 15.3% compared to 2018, or an increase� of 15.3% (Yarangga, 2022). �

One of the components of society that acts as a taxpayer is MSME Business Actors where as many as 2.3 million MSME actors are registered as Taxpayers or approximate-ly 3.6% of Tota l 64.1 Million MSME actors registered with the Ministry of MSMEs in 2018. However, MSMEs that have been supporting the national economy and have proven to contribute approximately" approximately 60% of Indonesia's GDP and are considered "Resilient Businesses" when Indonesia's economy experiences Turbulansi in 2018, but during the Covid-19 Pandemic, MSME Business� Actors were the most affect-ed (Febryanti & Linawati, 2020).

�Comprehensive Impact of Determining the Covid 19� Pandemic as a National� Disas-ter, through the� Covid 19 Prevention and Spread Policy, namely the PSBB and Social Distancing� Programs, MSME Actors who are the hardest hit and affected by the Policy This is Where the PSBB and Social Distancing Program resulted in 68% - De-creased SalesTurnover, 12% - Capital Difficulties, 10%- Distribusi Hampered - Due to� Insufficient Transportation Facilities� available for� Distributing Product Sales, 6 %- Raw Material Difficulties � Suppliers Unable� to� support Production� needs, 4% � Produc-tion Hampered � Ability to Cover Production Costs� (Labor� Costs), scarcity of raw� mate-rials (Kemalaningrum & Octaviani, 2020).

��� And the peak of these conditions is the weakening of the economic and financial conditions of MSME players, this makes them have to cut business costs in order to survive where the method one of them is the Ministerof Manpower by laying off� / being laid off (Kusuma, 2018).

�This condition is responded quickly by the DGT through Government Strategies and Policies in� order to Mitigate Economic� Impacts and Accelerate� National Economic Re-covery, namely through the� Fiscal Policy Funnel yang in� Regulation in PMK 23 of 2020 changes to� PMK 44 of� 2020 concerning tax incentives for taxpayers affected by the coronavirus outbreak.�

However, the use of this tax incentive has a number of conditions that must be met by taxpayers, one of the main is that tax incentives can only be utilized through the E Tax System�� namely the DGT Online Application (Official Portal� of� the Director General of Taxes).

The Directorate General of Taxes synergizes between tax incentive policies for tax-payers affected by the coronavirus outbreak by improving Good Governance and excel-lent service (Service) Excellent) in the management of tax administration. One form of this effort is to modernize the tax administration system, one of the real forms is the Information Technology-based Application Program which has been has been carried out by the Director General of Taxes, namely the DGT Online Application which is a means for Taxpayers to carry out Tax Obligations and Utilization of other Tax Facilities. Tax Modernization also applies technology information that continues to update tax services in the form of online payments, e-SPT, e-Filing, eForm, e-registration and information systems of the Directorate General of Taxes.

The following is a table of the development of the number of submissions of e-filling tax returns, e-forms, e-SPT� �based on national data, namely:

From table 1, it can be seen that the decrease in the realization of the delivery of the number of tax returns received by the Director General of Taxes this year is inseparable from the impact of the spread of the Covid Pandemic 19.

� This is seen from the policy previously issued by the Director General of Taxes which provides a number of tax relaxations and incentives to taxpayers.

Apart from the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the phenomenon that occurs in society is still many taxpayers who are negligent in carrying out their tax obligations. This is evidenced by the still not achieving the national tax revenue target.

�The following is a recapitulation of targets and realization of tax revenues for 2015 � 2019:

Judging from table 2, it shows that the achievement of tax revenue only reached 84.48% in 2019, down compared to 2018 of 92.24% although the achievement rate has decreased but in terms of achievements. The nominal realization in 2019 increased by approximately 17.16 trillion rupian compared to 2018.

�The phenomenon of not achieving the 2019 revenue target, indicates that there is a tax non-compliance that can be caused by various facts, one of which is the Lack of Knowledge in the field of Taxation and information technology, and lack of motivation from within the taxpayer for his ability (Computer Self Efficacy) to take advantage of the use of information technology-based Tax Applications to carry out their Tax Obligations. In addition to mitigating the Economic Impact and Accelerating Na-tional Economic Recovery, through various policies, the government, especially the Direc-tor General of Taxes, hopes that the public can take a positive side with utilizing Infor-mation Technology to maintain its Economic and Business Activities during the Covid 19 Pandemic.

The high need for technology during the Covid-19 Pandemic has made many people start to study and follow the development of information technology in order to follow the trends that occur and also�� the many needs for increasingly demanding technology (Darmayasa & Setiawan, 2016).

By following and learning from the development of information technology or com-puters, it will support a person's life to be more effective and efficient in their activities. Today we can benefit from the existence of a technology or computer in the fields of edu-cation, industry, manufacturing, business, banking, military, engineering, science, medi-cine, government, entertainment, games and also the field of criminality. The government in utilizing the development of information technology or computers aims to strengthen the� relationship that occurs between the� government and the community and also pro-cess data or information aimed at� the� benefit of society.

The following is information technology user data� or internet� user data nationally, namely:

 

 


Figure 2 Technology User Data Nationwide

Source: Survey Data of the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association, 2018

 

According to data from the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association (APJI, 2018) the percentage of internet users in Indonesia in 2018 increased by 10.12% com-pared to the previous year.� Internet users reached 171.17 million users out of a popu-lation of 264.16 million. The growth of internet users from year to year cannot be sepa-rated from many factors, especially the increase in telecommunications infrastructure development (Chandra & Rahmawati, 2016).

From the phenomenon of not achieving the 2019 revenue target and the projected tax� revenue in 2020 which has decreased significantly due to the Covid-19� Pandemic, making the� government, especially the director general of taxes,� have to work atrictly maintaining the stability of� existing tax� JIRIB compliance through fiscal policies due to the Covid 19 pandemic (Rahayu, 2013).

Lack of Knowledge in the field of Taxation and information technology, and lack� of� motivation from within taxpayers� to take advantage of the use of information technol-ogy-based� Tax Applications (e-System Taxation) to carry out their Tax Obligations and so that during the current Covid-19 Pandemic, taxpayers can take advantage of� tax facilities and incentives provided by the Director General of Taxes in order to mitigate the impact of� Pandemi Covid 19 through the means of the DGT Online Application (e-System Taxation), especially for taxpayers of MSME Business� actors as an economic support national (Rahayu, 2012).

The phenomenon of the Covid-19 Pandemic that has hit has a domino impact in various aspects, in this case one of which is the taxation aspect, in order to mitigate the impact of the Covid 19 Pandemic, especially for Taxpayer Actors MSMEs, innovations of the director general of taxes through� modernization of the Tax Administration System, one of which is through� the DGT Online Application (e-Pepajakan System) to� help tax-payers to� can take advantage of Tax Incentives. And to be able to take advantage of these Tax Incentives, it requires the ability of taxpayers in the field of Information Technology (computer�� self-efficacy) to use the Applicationsi / Electronic Program pro-vided by the Director General of Taxes which is certainly supported by knowledge in the field of Taxation.

In accordance with the�� background and problems above, the objectives of this study are:

1.   To analyze the effect of computer self-efficacy on the use of the Tax e-System Ap-plication in the use of Covid-19 Pandemic Tax Incentives for MSME Taxpayers.

2.   To analyze the effect of Tax Knowledge on the use of the Tax e-System Application in the use of Covid-19 Pandemic Tax Incentives for MSME Taxpayers.

3.   To analyze the effect of modernizing the tax administration system on the use of the Tax e-System Application in the use of Covid-19 Pandemic Tax Incentives for MSME Taxpayers.

4.   To analyze the influence of computer self-efficacy, Tax Knowledge and moderniza-tion of the tax administration system on the use of the Tax e-System Application in the use of Covid-19 Pandemic Tax Incentives for MSME Taxpayers.

Operational Definition of� Variables

The free variables� (X) used in this study are Computer Self Efficacy, Taxation Knowledge� and Modernization of the Tax Administration System.

1)   Computer Self Efficacy

� Computer self-efficacy is one of� the� internal� factors that reside in the user or tax-payer.� Computer self-efficacy is defined by Compeau and� Higgins (1995) in Rustiana (2004:29) as an� assessment of a person's� computer capabilities and expertise� to perform work related to� technology� information.

According to Compeau and Higgins (1995) there are three dimensions that affect CSE or computer self-efficacy, namely :

a)   Magnitude

b)  Strength

c)   Generalisability (Generalizabiliy)

2)   Knowledge or understanding of� taxes according to Siti Kurnia Rahayu (2013: 141), taxpayers must have, among others, knowledge of� general provisions and� tax pro-cedures, the� tax system in Indonesia and the function of taxation.

The spirit� of� this modernization program� is the implementation of good governance, namely the implementation of a transpar-ent and� accountable tax administration system by utilizing a reliable information technology system� and� current.

According to (Sari, 2013) there are 4 dimensions of modernization of the tax administration system , namely:

a.   Organizational Structure

b.   Business Process and Information and Communication Technology

c.   Human Resource Management

d.   Implementation of Good Governance
