The results identified the advantages of online-based Hotel and Restaurant Tax namely:  reducing potential fraud; improved tax assessments; reducing administrative works in the recordingof <em>Surat Pemberitahuan Tahunan</em> (Annual Notification Letter). However, DPPKAD of Pekalongan City encountered some constraints:  many taxpayers were not willing to calculate their own tax and had the DPPKAD to specify the tax amount; many restaurant owners were not willing to use cash register because they were afraid that it would increase their products’ selling price; exposure of  taxpayers’ private financial records; 2) the preparation of infrastructure is inhibited because the taxpayers have not been willing to connect the cashier machine directly to the partner’s bank system,3) DPPKAD had not had human resource with the competency of examining the local tax.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={KnE Social Sciences}, author={Yuliani, Sri and Ansoriyah, Faizatul and Nurhaeni, Ismi Dwi Astuti}, year={2017}, month={Jun.}, pages={251-258} }
