Abstract

The rapid expansion of QRIS-based digital transactions has reshaped Indonesia’s payment ecosystem and integrated electronic transaction data into tax administration. This transformation enhances fiscal efficiency and transparency but raises concerns about tax justice, proportionality, legal certainty, and taxpayer rights. Existing studies emphasize modernization and revenue optimization, yet the normative implications of QRIS for justice remain underexplored. This study applies a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches to evaluate juridical dynamics of QRIS-based taxation. Findings reveal three issues: first, regulations prioritize efficiency and supervision over proportional burdens; second, disparities arise from inconsistent frameworks and unequal treatment of digital versus conventional actors; third, taxpayer rights are vulnerable due to limited safeguards for privacy, fairness, and certainty. The study contributes to adaptive digital tax law by stressing regulatory harmonization that balances efficiency with proportionality, equality, and protection of taxpayer rights.

Abstract

Indonesian competition law plays a vital role in preventing monopolistic practices and ensuring fair competition. Yet, the rise of the digital economy, shifting market structures, and persistent enforcement challenges have complicated regulation of market dominance. This study analyzes the main provisions of Law Number 5 of 1999, examines the concept of market dominance, and evaluates enforcement mechanisms. Using a normative legal research method with statute, conceptual, and doctrinal approaches, data were collected from legislation, KPPU regulations, and academic literature. Findings show that Indonesian competition law applies a rule of reason, targeting abuse of dominant positions rather than dominance itself. Market dominance is assessed through indicators such as market share, control of essential facilities, barriers to entry, exclusionary conduct, and independence from competitive pressures. KPPU plays a central role despite institutional and evidentiary limitations. This research contributes to competition law scholarship and offers concise policy recommendations to strengthen enforcement in the digital era.

Abstract

Legal certainty in the execution of Mortgage Rights is essential for protecting creditors and ensuring the effective resolution of non-performing loans (NPLs) in Indonesia. Although Law No. 4 of 1996 concerning Mortgage Rights (UUHT) provides a comprehensive legal framework for secured lending, its implementation continues to encounter significant legal and institutional challenges. This study aims to examine the extent to which the existing legal framework ensures legal certainty, identify the doctrinal, procedural, and institutional barriers affecting Mortgage Rights execution, and propose legal reforms to improve its effectiveness. The research employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Legal materials were collected through library research and analyzed qualitatively using statutory interpretation, comparative analysis, and source triangulation. The findings indicate that the UUHT establishes a coherent framework through the principles of speciality, publicity, droit de préférence, and droit de suite, supported by executorial title, parate executie, and private sale mechanisms. However, inconsistent judicial interpretation, procedural complexity, fragmented institutional coordination, and incomplete digital implementation continue to undermine effective execution and legal certainty. As the principal contribution, this study proposes an Integrated Legal Certainty Model that combines normative harmonization, judicial consistency, institutional coordination, digital mortgage integration, and balanced creditor-debtor protection.
