The sample is the amount of taxes or income per month received from the Regional Taxes Information System then the acquisition of the collected data was analyzed using WarpPLS. The results show that the use of Tapping Box has proven to be able to strengthen the relationship between restaurant taxes and District Own Source Revenue and also the relationship between hotel taxes and District Own Source Revenue.
