This study aims to investigate the role of tax incentives and motivational postures in increasing taxpayer compliance. The analysis was conducted in Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia, and the sample consisted of MSME taxpayers registered at the Pekanbaru Tax Service Office. Purposive sampling was utilized to collect data, and of the 384 returned questionnaires, 254 were used for statistical analysis. Multiple regression analysis was utilized to examine the impact of tax incentives on taxpayer compliance, and moderated regression analysis was applied to test the moderating role of motivational postures. The findings showed that the p-values of the first and second hypotheses were 0.00 and 0.001 (0.05, with a positive β value), and the third hypothesis had 0.001 (< 0.05, with a negative β value). This result indicates that the first, second, and third hypotheses are accepted, which means that the more taxpayers feel that tax incentives are beneficial, the greater their compliance with their tax responsibilities. Additionally, tax incentives significantly raise taxpayer compliance when they have a positive motivational posture and decrease it if they have a negative one. The implications of this study influence tax authorities to incentivize taxpayers to increase compliance. Knowledge of the taxpayer’s motivational postures will make it easier for tax authorities to manage taxpayer behavior to increase taxpayer compliance.
