Results: Tax incentives and income levels positively and significantly impact on the purchasing power of people affected by COVID-19. This study cannot prove the indirect effect of tax incentives on the purchasing power of people affected by COVID-19 through income levels. Novelty: Different from previous research, this study focuses on examining the effect of article 21 income tax incentives on the purchasing power of people affected by COVID-19 which is still limited.

Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian kuantitatif dan data dianalisis dengan pendekatan Structural Equation Modelling. Hasil: Insentif pajak dan tingkat penghasilan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap daya beli masyarakat terdampak COVID-19. Penelitian ini tidak dapat membuktikan pengaruh tidak langsung insentif pajak terhadap daya beli masyarakat terdampak COVID-19 melalui tingkat penghasilan. Kebaruan: Berbeda dari penelitian sebelumnya, studi ini terfokus pada pengujian pengaruh insentif PPh 21 DTP terhadap daya beli masyarakat yang terdampak COVID-19 yang masih terbatas. Kontribusi: Selain tingkat penghasilan, insentif PPh 21 DTP dapat memengaruhi daya beli masyarakat, yang hingga akhirnya akan berdampak pula pada perekonomian nasional.
