Taufik Widitomo, Alifah Ratnawati

Abstract


Abstract. Based on data from the West Sumatra Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) in 2024, the level of compliance of motor vehicle taxpayers in West Sumatra Province is still relatively low, even decreasing from 2022 when the compliance rate was 62% and in 2023 it decreased to 57.67%. Providing satisfaction to taxpayers is a must, taxpayers have great power in determining what they want. Therefore, one of the challenges of tax payment services at Samsat Kota Padang is to create and maintain satisfied and loyal taxpayers. Responsivenessprovided by Samsat Kota Padang, both in direct and online services, is an important factor in influencing taxpayer satisfaction. Slow or unresponsive services can reduce taxpayer satisfaction, which ultimately impacts their decision to pay taxes on time. In addition, ease of access to tax payment services is also an important issue. In the current digitalization era, the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in various aspects of life is growing, including in public services. In addition, the average distance traveled by taxpayers to the Samsat office, which reaches 7.5 kilometers, is also an obstacle in itself. This complicates accessibility, especially for those who live in areas far from the city center. Not only that, the ratio between service officers and the number of taxpayers, which reaches 1:38, indicates limited human resources at the Padang City Samsat, which also contributes to delays and lack of efficiency in the service process. The problems that exist in Samsat Padang City and the research gap of previous studies are the background for this research. This research is expected to provide a clearer picture of the influence of responsiveness and ease of access on customer satisfaction and how it contributes to positive Word Of Mouth.
