Samples consists of 6 countries in ASEAN: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Phillipines, and Thailand; with dataset of 15 years observation from 2005 to 2019. By using data panel multiple regression analysis in Fixed Effect Model, the results indicate that: (1)digitalization has significant and positive influence on tax revenue, (2) GDP per capita growth has significant and negative influence on tax revenue, and (3) simultaneously digitalization and GDP per capita growth have significant influence on tax revenue.
