Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the tax literacy of vocational high school students as future entrepreneurs and taxpayers. The activity was held at SMK Negeri 6 Jakarta on April 20 through an educational-participatory seminar in collaboration with the Direktorat Jenderal Pajak. The methods used included interactive presentations, discussions, and evaluations using pre-tests and post-tests. The activity process encompassed the preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages of learning. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ understanding, as evidenced by an increase in the average score from 73.5 to 96.5, with 91% of participants achieving a perfect score. Students’ perceptions of taxes also shifted to a more positive outlook. This activity has implications for increasing students’ awareness and readiness to fulfill their tax obligations in the future.
