Also, this study explores the taxpayer accounting capability, perceptions, and preferences to the Government Regulation No 46 of 2013 on their influence on the tax payer's voluntary compliance. Surveys collected the primary and secondary data used on 257cooperatives. There is six hypothesis, compare cooperative's tax expense tests the first means between the presumptive and the regular taxation scheme. Multiple regression tests the second hypothesis until the sixth. The results show that the tax expense averages based on presumptive scheme less than that is subject to the regular system.The findings also show that the sum of the potential government revenue from the presumptive scheme less than from the regulation system. Furthermore, taxpayers' perceptions of the presumptive taxation model and accounting capability of the taxpayers have positive impact significantly on their preference to the presumptive taxation model; and the taxpayers' perceptions, accounting capability, and the preference to the presumptive taxation model have positive impact significantly on their taxpayers' voluntary compliance. All hypothesis proposed is supported by the empirical evidence.
