This study aims to determine the level of understanding of MSME actors regarding e-NPWP in Bandar Lampung City. The background of this study is based on the importance of tax administration for MSMEs and the development of digital tax services, including the emergence of e-NPWP as a form of digital tax identity. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach involving 40 MSME actors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed via Google Form and analyzed descriptively using frequencies, percentages, and response tendencies. The results show that most respondents had heard of e-NPWP and understood that e-NPWP is the digital form of NPWP and has a function in tax administration. Respondents’ understanding of the use of e-NPWP for administrative purposes was also fairly good. However, understanding of how to obtain or access e-NPWP was still low. Information about e-NPWP was considered quite clear by most respondents, but this was not fully followed by practical ability to use the service. This study concludes that the level of understanding of MSME actors regarding e-NPWP in Bandar Lampung City is still not optimal, especially in the technical aspects of access and use
