Data analysis of this research uses Partial Least Square with WarpPLS tool. Respondents of this study amounted to 87 people. This study found that taxpayer compliance is influenced by love of money, machiavellianism, whistleblowing system, and trust in the government. Meanwhile, religiosity has no effect on taxpayer compliance.
