Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of tax consultants in improving taxpayer compliance with Value Added Tax (VAT) payments in the era of the Core Tax Administration System at the Tax Consultant Office of Vaudy Starworld & Partners. The research used a descriptive qualitative method with in-depth interviews with three senior tax consultants. The results show that tax consultants have a strategic role as intermediaries, supervisors, technical supervisors, and conveyors of information related to changes in tax regulations. The implementation of Core Tax improves administrative efficiency and reduces reporting errors from 3-4 times to very rare. Client compliance has increased significantly, as shown by the growth of clients from 10 (2023) to 12 (2025) with a compliance rate of 100% for complete and correct tax returns. The research concludes that the presence of tax consultants significantly helps improve taxpayer compliance, both formally and materially, in the face of the complexities of the modern tax system.
