Abstract

This study uses a literature review method that aims to developing voluntary tax compliance for SMEs after Covid-19 era from the social contract’s perspective. The declining level of tax compliance during the Covid-19 pandemic is a special concern for the government. The social contract elevates three main principles, namely freedom, common needs and reciprocity. In the perspective of taxation means that the taxpayer gives up his freedom in the management of economic assets to the government for the welfare of the people. On the contrary, the government provides reciprocity in the form of services to the community and the provision of good and adequate public facilities. The social contract among the government and the taxpayer requires mutual trust. The results of this study show that the social contract between taxpayers and the government can be realized if there is an element of justice first. A form of justice for taxpayers such as providing tax incentives in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The justice felt by taxpayers will foster trust in the government. Trust in the government is a good thing to encourage voluntary compliance from taxpayers.
