<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the direction, effectiveness, and continuity of the fiscal policy of the Padang Panjang City Government as regulated in three main legal instruments: Regional Regulation (Perda) Number 4 of 2023 on the 2024 Regional Budget (APBD), Perda Number 1 of 2024 on Regional Taxes and Levies, and Perda Number 3 of 2024 on the Amendment to the 2024 Regional Budget. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using document analysis and triangulation of recent academic literature. The findings reveal that the 2024 regional budget structure remains heavily dependent on central government transfers (81.8%), while locally generated revenue (PAD) contributes only 18.2%. However, the implementation of digital-based local tax policy under Perda Number 1 of 2024 and productive expenditure reallocation under Perda Number 3 of 2024 demonstrate a strong commitment to fiscal efficiency and transparency.
