Taxes are a very important source of state revenue in supporting the country's development. State financing depends on tax revenue. Current tax revenue has not met the target, the sluggish Indonesian economy is the cause of not meeting the tax target. One of the efforts made by the government is to increase tax awareness where the Director General of Taxes implements one of the Tax Inclusion programs aimed at the younger generation, one of which is high school students. The given tax knowledge will encourage students to be positive and change the mindset of students so that they can produce positive tax behavior. This study uses two factors in measuring the tax awareness of high school students, namely tax literacy and social environment. The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze the effect of tax literacy and the social environment on tax awareness among high school students in Surabaya and Sidoarjo. The method used in sample selection is non-purposive sampling with a total sample of 398 respondents. The results of this study indicate that the tax literacy and social environment variables have an effect on tax awareness among high school students in Surabaya and Sidoarjo.
