PERSEPSI MAHASISWA TERHADAP PERATURAN PEMADANAN NIK MENJADI NPWP DAN DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP PENINGKATAN KEPATUHAN PAJAK

The role of taxes in the economy in Indonesia is enormous because taxes play a role in maintaining the balance of the country's economy and helping to create social welfare. A tax collected from tax objects and subjects is used to build public facilities for society. However, some still have income above PTKP but still need to pay and report taxes. Therefore, the government is trying to improve tax compliance by establishing a new regulation that matches NIK as NPWP. By checking NIK to NPWP, a Single Identification Number (SIN) is created so that people only need to bring 1 KTP card for administrative purposes. This study aims to determine students' perceptions and understanding of the rules for matching NIK to NPWP and their impact on increasing tax compliance. This research is descriptive research with a quantitative approach using the survey method. The results showed that students were already aware of the regulations for matching NIK to NPWP and their procedures through online media and socialization provided at the University. While the cause of the failure of NIK validation to NPWP is due to not fulfilling the requirements as a taxpayer, and the confirmation process via email has yet to be activated.   Kata Kunci : Tax; NIK; NPWP; Tax ComplianceThe role of taxes in the economy in Indonesia is enormous because taxes play a role in maintaining the balance of the country's economy and helping to create social welfare.

ABSTRAKVerawati SURAT KEPUTUSAN PENGANGKATAN PEGAWAINEGERI SIPIL (SK PNS) SEBAGAI JAMINANDALAM PERJANJIAN KREDIT BANKFakultas Hukum Universitas Syiah Kuala(v,70), pp., bibl., app.(Safrina, S.H., M.H., M.EPM.)Pasal 8 ayat (1) dan (2) Undang-Undang Nomor 10 Tahun 1998 tentangPerubahan atas Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 1992 tentang Perbankanmenyatakan bahwa dalam memberikan kredit bank umum wajib mempunyaikeyakinan berdasarkan analisis yang mendalam atas itikad dan kemampuannasabah debitor untuk melunasi utangnya. Keyakinan tersebut timbul karenadipenuhinya segala persyaratan pemberian kredit, salah satunya adalah adanyajaminan yang dapat memberikan kepastian dalam pelunasan utang kredit. BankBRI Unit Mutiara Sigli dalam menyalurkan kredit kepada Pegawai Negeri Sipil(PNS) mensyaratkan adanya suatu jaminan berupa Surat Keputusan PengangkatanPegawai Negeri Sipil (SK PNS). Pada kenyataannya, jaminan tersebut tidak dapatdieksekusi sehingga menimbulkan kesulitan dalam pemenuhan pelunasan utang.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dasar hukum SuratKeputusan Pengangkatan Pegawai Negeri Sipil (SK PNS) sebagai jaminan dalampemberian kredit dan akibat hukum yang timbul dari perjanjian kredit denganjaminan tersebut.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan menggunakanbahan utama berupa data sekunder antara lain perjanjian kredit (Surat PengakuanHutang), peraturan perundang-undangan, buku-buku, dan didukung oleh dataprimer di lapangan.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian kredit dengan jaminan SKPNS didasarkan atas keyakinan bank bahwa debitor mampu melunasi utangnya.Dalam pemberian kredit ini berlaku ketentuan Pasal 1131 dan Pasal 1132 KUHPerdata tentang jaminan umum yang memberikan perlindungan dan hak kepadakreditor untuk menuntut pelunasan utang dari semua harta kekayaan debitorkarena seluruh kekayaan tersebut merupakan jaminan atas segala perikatanutangnya. Disamping itu, jaminan SK tersebut tidak dapat digolongkan ke dalamjaminan khusus karena tidak adanya suatu perjanjian pengikatan jaminan. Akibathukum dari perjanjian kredit dengan jaminan SK PNS adalah sah karena telahmemenuhi syarat sahnya suatu perjanjian sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 1320KUH Perdata. Akan tetapi, perjanjian tersebut tidak memberikan kepastian hukumdalam pelaksanaan eksekusi benda jaminan karena SK PNS tidak memenuhi salahsatu syarat benda jaminan yaitu marketable atau dapat dinilai dengan uang danmudah untuk dijual guna melunasi utang kredit.Disarankan kepada pembuat kebijakan untuk menetapkan suatu peraturanmengenai pembebanan jaminan SK PNS guna memberikan kepastian hukum.Disarankan kepada pihak bank untuk mensyaratkan adanya jaminan tambahan dankepada PNS untuk dapat melaksanakan kewajibannya sesuai dengan yangdiperjanjikan

Exploring the roles of special schools' principals in teacher quality improvement: A case study of special schools

Concern about the role of school principals in improving the quality of special schools remains one of the challenges in realizing better quality education in Indonesia. However, some obstacles to the role of the principal in improving the quality of special schools still exist. Principals of special schools are still faced with obstacles to improving school quality, such as the quality of teachers. Therefore, this qualitative study aims to explore the role of the principal of the Southwest Aceh public special school in improving teacher quality.

This qualitative research is to investigate the role of the head of the Southwest Aceh public special school in Indonesia, asking the main research question, what is the role of the principal in improving teacher quality?

The research findings reveal the role of the school principal in improving the quality of teachers; that is, the principal conducts guidance, coaching, and supervision, grants study permits for schools to a higher level, and conducts training to increase teacher competence. Besides that, the principal explores new ideas from teachers according to the times in the world of education and creates harmonious relationships, openness, adjustments to the curriculum, division of teaching tasks or additional assignments, and differential learning, and provides rewards and punishments to teachers who break the rules. In giving the workload of main tasks and additional assignments to teachers, the average is high, and the school program is not related to each other
