Tax collection is a source of financing expenses for governments, including the mitigation of the social and economic impacts of diverse disruptions. This applies to Peru, where the amount of corporate tax collected during the Covid-19 pandemic showed a notable variation. This study aims to analyze the impact of various tax management initiatives of the Peruvian government on tax collection during the pandemic from 2019 to 2021. The methodology employs a quantitative approach with a non-experimental research design and longitudinal measurement. Documentary analysis was applied to examine data composed of annual statistical reports relevant to the tax administration organization in Peru, videos, documentaries, conferences, and information related to tax collection. The findings clearly show a fiscal slowdown in 2020 as a consequence of the pandemic; however, considerable growth in tax revenues across different tax regimes, geographic areas of the country, economic sectors, and categories of different taxes collected were reported in 2021. This outcome results from the implementation of various fiscal tax relief measures in the early stages of the pandemic, with their effect being observed in 2021. Thus, it is argued that these measures contributed to the reactivation of the business economy in Peru, improving the country’s economic situation.

It used a quantitative method with a survey design. Respondents were all SMEs in Indonesia that are affected by social distancing policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. It involved a total of 587 SME samples selected randomly. The data were collected through observations, questionnaires, and literature studies. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with SPSS software to determine the mean value. The result showed that social distancing policies affect SMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is indicated by the decreasing income and demand for SMEs products, and even some have no income (mean values of 2.40) due to the social distancing policies. Besides, the policy’s impact is also shown in the increasing cost of raw materials and production costs due to supply chain problems (mean values of 4.79). The policy’s impact raises anxiety for SMEs to survive so that business actors change their plans by utilizing information technology (mean values of 4.81). This change is a strategy to survive due to the impact of the applied policies. Although social distancing policies affect SMEs’ survival during the pandemic, research findings show that SMEs in Indonesia did not terminate employment (mean values of 4.37) due to the presence of economic stimulus policies that helped SMEs survive and grow during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Innovative Marketing Volume 16, 2020 Issue #4 pp. 129-138 Views: 3456 Downloads: 5873 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe study aims to synthesize the challenges that retailers are facing during the COVID-19 emergency. The research is definitive, informative, and based on a single design of cross-sectional research. Quantitative data based on the research instrument were produced (a questionnaire). Five hundred responses were collected from employees of major retail stores in India. Retailer performance is considered a dependent variable, whereas employee well-being, customer and brand protection, use of technology, government policies, and supply chain are used as independent variables. The current study results indicated that employee well-being and government policies have a significant positive impact on retailer performance, while customer and brand protection, use of technology, and supply chain have a significant positive impact on retailers’ performance. This study will help retailers develop strategies for their employees to protect them and understand that technology is needed in the new normal times. This study highlights the need to be flexible in executing strategic strategies, but retailers need to develop comprehensive action plans, including selecting managers of initiative and defining goals and deadlines. Provided that retailers’ current reality is different from the old normal, no time is lost in taking audacious action.
