Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest number of human resources in the world. According to the Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs, Teten Masduki, MSMEs as the driving force of the Indonesian economy are projected to increase to 83.3 million actors by 2034. This is an opportunity for the development of MSMEs to continue to be able to contribute to the Indonesian economy. The current problem of MSME players is the lack of a foundation of knowledge and understanding of taxation, especially on MSME tax rates. Some of the ways to improve the quality of human resources of MSME players is through increasing tax literacy.
