Overview

"""Improving Local Government Performance Through Tax Optimization"" explores the vital role of taxes in the functioning of a country, with a particular focus on the significance of regional taxes in state and local governance. These regional taxes serve various purposes such as regulation, budget allocation, and resource redistribution. The effectiveness of local tax systems depends on their ability to generate sufficient revenue, ultimately enhancing the overall functioning of local governments. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, this book delves into strategies aimed at optimizing local tax collection methods to improve the performance of local governments. The study emphasizes the critical requirement of a funding source, known as PAD (Own-Source Revenue), primarily sourced from local revenue, for successful autonomy and decentralization implementation. However, the current state of affairs reveals a significant insufficiency in local taxes and levies, which account for only 16% of the total PAD. To address this issue, the book highlights the pressing need to maximize the intensification of local tax collection methods and regional levies to bolster regional income and enhance regional performance. By exploring various strategies, local governments can tap into a more substantial revenue stream, enabling them to enhance their operational capabilities and improve the overall governance structure at the regional level. The optimization of local tax collection methods and the intensification of regional levies not only have a direct impact on regional income but also contribute to the overall improvement of regional performance. By streamlining and optimizing these revenue streams, regional governments can invest in development initiatives, improve public infrastructure, and provide better public services to local communities. Furthermore, a robust financial foundation empowers governments to address socioeconomic disparities, foster economic growth, and promote overall well-being within their regions. This book underscores the significance of refining local tax collection procedures and strengthening regional levies to overcome the financial inadequacy hindering the progress of regional governments. By doing so, governments can effectively implement autonomy and decentralization, meet the demands of development initiatives, and fulfill the specific needs of their regions. Ultimately, this book aims to provide insights and recommendations to policymakers and practitioners on how to optimize tax systems at the local level for the betterment of regional performance and governance."
