Abstract: Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in the national economy; however, tax compliance, particularly related to Income Tax Article 21, remains relatively low. The main challenges faced by MSME… E actors include limited tax literacy, complexity in tax calculations, and insufficient understanding of recent regulatory changes. To address these issues, the government introduced the Average Effective Rate (TER) scheme as an administrative simplification for calculating Income Tax Article 21. Nevertheless, the implementation of this scheme has not been fully understood by MSMEs at the village level. This study aims to conduct socialization and training on Income Tax Article 21 based on the TER scheme for MSMEs in Watesprojo Village and to evaluate its effectiveness in improving tax understanding and technical capability. The research method involved initial observation, regulatory socialization, practical tax calculation training, and participant evaluation. The results indicate a noticeable improvement in MSME actors’ understanding of the legal basis of Income Tax Article 21, the changes in the calculation scheme, and the practical application of the TER mechanism without disrupting business activities. Overall, the socialization and training activities proved effective in enhancing tax literacy and supporting sustainable tax compliance among MSMEs.

Mohammad Mahbubi Ali, Shabana M. Hasan, Muhyidin
Abstract: MSMEs have played considerable role in the socio-economic development in Indonesia. However, the institutions continue to experience numerous challenges and constrains in various aspects. Among the prominent issues include… de the financing structure, lack of qualified human resources, complexity of government regulations and bureaucracy in some areas such as business start-up and etc. There is hardly any literature that has critically surveyed the issue of why the MSMEs shy away and whether there is an alternative financing model that they can adopt. The present study critically assesses the related literatures and proposes a viable cash waqf-based model which has the potential to benefit Islamic MSMEs. To ensure the successful running of the cash-waqf based model, it is recommended for the model to be established under the umbrella of a respectable Islamic body, namely Indonesia Waqf Council/Badan Wakaf Indonesia (BWI).

Muhammad Sukri, Lomba Sultan, Muammar Muh. Bakry, Abdul Wahid Haddade
Abstract: This study discusses the adaptation strategies of non-Muslim MSMEs to halal certification regulations in Manado City from the perspective of Maqasid al-Syari'ah. This is a qualitative study. The research design is field… research. The informants in this study consisted of MUI officials in North Sulawesi Province and non-Muslim MSME actors in Manado City. The results of this study indicate that: Non-Muslim SME actors have demonstrated a high level of adaptation to halal certification regulations through gradual and pragmatic strategies. They began by improving hygiene, recording raw materials, and participating in training and capacity-building programs. These strategies reflect that the actors do not reject the regulations but require an approach tailored to their capacities. In many cases, halal certification is even positioned as a branding tool and a means of market expansion, rather than merely legal compliance. This adaptation also reflects the success of a values-based approach rooted in the principles of maqasid, where regulations are accepted as meaningful and beneficial ethical business practices. Through a dialogic and contextual approach, non-Muslim SME operators have successfully transformed halal certification into an opportunity rather than a threat to their identity.

Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem pencatatan transaksi masih dilakukan secara manual melalui pencatatan pemasukan dan pengeluaran dalam buku harian.

Potensi penerapan prinsip syariah terlihat dari adanya pencatatan transaksi yang dapat ditelusuri sehingga mendukung akuntabilitas usaha. Namun, masih terdapat kendala berupa belum tersusunnya laporan keuangan formal, keterbatasan pemahaman akuntansi, serta belum adanya pemisahan keuangan usaha dan pribadi. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dalam pengembangan Sistem Informasi Akuntansi berbasis syariah pada UMKM sektor pangan. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in the national economy and require accountable financial management through an Accounting Information System (AIS). This study aims to analyze the implementation of a Sharia-based Accounting Information System in the sales activities of a tofu manufacturing MSME in Tegalgusi Village, Jember Regency, and to identify the potential and challenges of applying Sharia accounting principles in supporting business accountability. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that the accounting information system is still implemented manually through the recording of cash inflows and outflows in a daily bookkeeping system. Despite its simplicity, the system reflects the values of trustworthiness, honesty, transparency, and the maqashid sharia principle, particularly hifz al-mal (protection of wealth). The potential of applying Sharia principles is evident in the existence of traceable transaction records that support business accountability. However, several challenges remain, including the absence of formal financial statements, limited accounting knowledge, and the lack of separation between business and personal finances. This study contributes to the development of Sharia-based Accounting Information Systems for MSMEs in the food industry sector.

Comparison Analysis of Accounting Standards for Entities Without Public Accountability and Financial Standards for Private Entities of SMEs in Indonesia

Iluwati, Jennifer, Sherly, Sherly, Febriana, Helen
Abstract: IFRS SME establishes standards that serve as recommendations for preparing financial reports for small and medium-sized businesses. SME IFRS originates from all IFRS simplifications intended to simplify financial reporting… ng and cost-benefit analysis for SME clients. The Financial Accounting Standards for Organizations Without Public Accountability (SAK ETAP), established on May 19, 2009, continues to oversee private businesses' financial accounts. However, SAK ETAP does not give advice to private firms on the explanation of gross revenue that is directly relevant to taxes determination. As a consequence, Indonesia has established a new SAK for private firms known as the SAK EP. The use of SAK EP in the preparation of financial statements for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) can simplify the use of international accounting standards, lowering the higher costs associated with full IFRS implementation and the emergence of numerous new accounts and changes in financial statement presentation. New accounts include accounts for current tax, deferred tax, employee benefit duties, and post-employment benefit liabilities, as well as revised accounts for accruing costs, equity, and comprehensive income (expenses).

Imoh Emmanuel, Ph.D., Uwem,, Timilehin Olasoji, Ph.D., Olubiyi,, Arinola Aramide, Ph.D., Kuforiji,, Kabiru, Ishola, Ph.D., Genty,
Abstract: Increased productivity in SMEs in terms of quality service delivery is crucial for economic growth and development. Most SMEs are bedevilled with destructive workplace deviant behaviour, particularly the incivility of owners/managers… ners/managers and employees towards customers, which have different consequences for workplace performance parameters such as a decline in sales, low patronage, and by extension, weak gross domestic product contribution. Using the social exchange theory, this cross-sectional study examined the influence of workplace incivility on productivity among 365 owners/managers, supervisors, and employees of SMEs in the liquefied petroleum gas sub-sector in Lagos State. Stratified proportionate sampling was utilized to select the respondents. The outcomes revealed that workplace incivility in the form of rudeness, discourteous disposition, and derogatory remarks predicted productivity in terms of an interaction between customers and employees and the capacity of the service process. Also, our findings accentuated the essence of avoiding direct and indirect costs that are linked with workplace incivility. The study recommended the communal and positive interpersonal relationships between owners/managers, employees, and customers and suggested training on emotional intelligence as a panacea for behavioral responses.
