Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a qualitative research approach with a case study method. The data were obtained through in-depth interviews and document content analysis.

This study also found the phenomenon of incremental budgeting in determining the entertainment tax revenues budget.
Practical and Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study provides a practical contribution for stakeholders to improve local revenue budgeting policies and offers an academic contribution as a scholarly reference regarding the opportunistic behavior of agents in setting revenue budgets, especially for small-in-size tax, for public organizations.
