Downloads
Abstract
Taxation is primary source of state revenue and plays a strategic role in supporting national development. However, the level of tax literacy among young people remains relatively low. This community service activity aimed to improve tax awareness and understanding among vocational high school students as preparations for entering the workforce. The activity was conducted on May 13, 2026, at SMK Negeri 1 Kota Serang through educational seminars, interactive discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. The speakers were representatives from the Serang Barat Primary Tax Office and the Center for Vocational Training and Productivity Development. The results show an improvement in participants understanding of the functions of taxation, tax obligations in the workplace, and the importance of workforce competency readiness. This activity demonstrates that collaboration among universities, schools, and government institutions can serve as an effective means of enhancing tax literacy among younger generations.
