This study analyses and presents accounting academics' experiences in six universities in Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia to adapt to the swift change to the remote virtual classroom delivery model forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, while also gaining valuable lessons from this unique situation. In this study, autoethnography's basic principles were used. The main results suggest that the universities' combined current information and communication technologies, learning management systems, blended learning experiences, training, and supports, although not without hitches, were able to accommodate the shift to a remote virtual classroom model quite effectively. However, the move to fully online assessment has been conceded to likely increase the embedded risk of student cheating. The availability of reliable internet connection for students is also crucial in ensuring access equality and effective remote virtual classroom delivery.
To boost tax revenues from the SMEs sector, the government has reduced the income tax rate for SMEs through the issuance of PP Number 23 of 2018. Nevertheless, in some regions, the tax revenues from the SMEs sector have, unexpectedly, decreased. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reasons for the lack of compliance by SME taxpayers, using the theory of planned behaviour as a theoretical framework. This study employed an exploratory design using a qualitative approach, in which the service areas of the Singaraja tax office served as the research setting. The results of this study show that the primary determinant of SME taxpayers’ compliance in paying income tax is the taxpayers’ consciousness concerning the importance of tax revenues for the country’s financial wellbeing. This finding provides significant implications for the Indonesian tax authority concerning their mission to increase the compliance level of SMEs taxpayers in fulfilling their tax obligations.

Skeptisisme membayar pajak adalah pandangan wajib pajak yang cenderung meragukan pembayaran pajak. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pandangan wajib pajak dalam membayar pajak dan skeptisisme yang timbul dalam membayar pajak. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Jenis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data kualitatif yang merupakan data-data berupa informasi yang diperoleh dari wawancara dengan informan penelitian. Sumber data yang digunakan terbagi menjadi dua yaitu data primer dan data sekunder.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, baik dari wajib pajak maupun otoritas pajak memandang kewajiban membayar pajak sebagai bentuk kontribusi wajib yang tidak akan kembali dalam bentuk manfaat yang diperoleh secara langsung. Berdasarkan aspek theory of planned behaviour, sikap terhadap perilaku wajib pajak cenderung menanggapi hal yang tidak disenangi atau bersikap negative sehingga semakin besar skeptisisme wajib pajak yang muncul. Keyakinan wajib pajak mengenai sulitnya untuk tidak membayar pajak adalah bentuk kontrol perilaku karena pemeriksaan dan pengawasan yang dilakukan dapat mengendalikan perilaku mereka. Namun kondisi yang sebenarnya yang memunculkan keraguan membayar pajak ini tidak didukung oleh norma subjektif sehingga menunjukkan keraguan membayar pajak tidak semata-mata dikarenakan adanya tekanan sosial. Dalam hal ini kecenderungan bersikap skeptis dalam membayar pajak dikarenakan keyakinan dari dalam diri individu yang membentuk sikap terhadap perilaku dan kontrol perilaku yang dipersepsikan.
