Abstract

Motor vehicle tax (PKB) is a form of tax levied on the ownership and/or ownership of motor vehicles, with natural or legal persons as owners of the vehicles being tax payers.  Tax awareness becomes important when taxpayers have enough knowledge and understanding of the tax system. This encourages them to voluntarily fulfill their tax payment obligations. The higher a taxpayer's level of tax awareness, the higher their level of tax compliance, while also reinforcing their role as a good citizen.  This study aims to determine the influence of tax rates and taxpayer knowledge on the compliance level of automobile taxpayers in Bandar Lampung City. The research method used was quantitative research in the tax-paying population of Bandar Lampung City.
