Funds are needed to support sustainable development so the government needs to have a source of funding. One of the largest sources of funding in Indonesia is taxes. State revenues from taxes account for more than 80% of all revenues received from 2017 to 2022. The aim of the research is to determine the influence of tax knowledge, taxpayer awareness, income, tax sanctions and tax services on taxpayer compliance. The object of the research is MSMEs processing sea products in Bintan Regency. This research used quantitative descriptive method.
