Tax Management refers to a company’s efforts to manage its tax obligations efficiently and legally in order to optimize net income. This study aims to examine the effect of Fixed Asset Intensity and Leverage on Tax Management, with Profitability as a moderating variable, in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2024 period. This research is conducted because tax management practices are considered to potentially influence corporate profitability and financial performance. The study is grounded in Agency Theory and employs a quantitative approach. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 28 companies observed over four years, with a total of 112 secondary data observations obtained from annual reports or financial statements. Data analysis was performed using EViews 13 with a Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) approach. The findings indicate that: (1) Fixed Asset Intensity has no significant effect on Tax Management; (2) Leverage has a significant negative effect on Tax Management; (3) Profitability does not moderate the relationship between Fixed Asset Intensity and Tax Management; and (4) Profitability strengthens the effect of Leverage on Tax Management.

This study empirically examines the effects of ownership structure, including managerial, institutional, and public ownership, on tax avoidance practices, using profitability as a moderating variable. The population in this study consists of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), from which a sample was selected using purposive sampling. A total of 330 observations were collected from 110 manufacturing companies for the period 2022–2024. The variables were tested using multiple linear regression in EViews 12. This study expands on previous research by using profitability as a moderating variable that can influence the relationship between ownership structure and tax avoidance. The results show that institutional ownership has a negative and significant effect on tax avoidance practices. An increase in institutional share ownership can reduce tax avoidance practices. Meanwhile, managerial and public ownership do not affect tax avoidance practices. In the moderation test, profitability strengthened the effect of managerial and institutional ownership on tax avoidance. Still, it did not moderate the impact between public ownership and tax avoidance.

This study aims to analyze the effect of sustainability report disclosure, audit committee meeting frequency, liquidity, leverage, and total asset turnover on profitability in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2023 period. Profitability is measured using Return on Equity (ROE). This research adopts a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from annual financial statements and sustainability reports. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, yielding 34 mining companies with 102 observations in total. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed after fulfilling classical assumption tests. The results indicate that sustainability report disclosure, audit committee meetings, liquidity, leverage, and total asset turnover simultaneously have a significant effect on profitability. However, partially, total asset turnover has a positive and significant impact on profitability. Meanwhile, sustainability report disclosure, audit committee meeting frequency, liquidity, and leverage do not significantly affect profitability. These findings suggest that asset utilization efficiency plays a crucial role in improving profitability in the mining sector. This study is expected to provide insights for companies, investors, and regulators to understand the determinants of profitability better and to support improved corporate governance and financial decision-making in mining companies.

Local governments in Indonesia rely significantly on local tax revenues to strengthen fiscal independence and sustain regional development. Among these revenue sources, the Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and the Motor Vehicle Transfer Fee (BBNKB) play a vital role in shaping regional fiscal capacity. This study explores how both taxes contribute to the Regional Own-Source Revenue (PAD) of Central Java Province during the 2020–2024 period. Drawing on quantitative analysis and secondary data from the Central Java Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda), the research assesses the effectiveness and contribution of PKB and BBNKB in supporting local fiscal performance. The results show that PKB consistently exerts a positive, meaningful influence on PAD, underscoring its central role in sustaining the province’s fiscal strength. In contrast, BBNKB demonstrates a weaker, less stable impact, primarily driven by changes in vehicle ownership trends and administrative challenges. When considered together, both tax instruments contribute to enhancing local fiscal capacity, although the reliance on PKB remains predominant. These findings underscore the importance of modernizing regional tax administration, particularly through digital innovation, transparent reporting systems, and community-based compliance strategies. Strengthening these mechanisms is essential to building a more resilient and autonomous fiscal framework, especially in the context of post-pandemic economic recovery and long-term regional development planning

This study aims to examine the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure, Return on Assets (ROA), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) on tax avoidance in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 112 observations. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using Stata 16 software. The empirical results indicate that ESG, ROA, and ERP simultaneously have no significant effect on tax avoidance. Partially, each independent variable also shows no significant influence. These findings suggest that ESG implementation and ERP adoption have not directly affected corporate tax behavior, while profitability is not a primary determinant of tax avoidance in the energy sector. This study contributes to the existing literature by incorporating ERP as a novel variable in tax avoidance research, providing additional insight into the role of integrated information systems in corporate taxation practices.

This study examines how company size, asset growth, tangibility, leverage, and total asset turnover affect profitability in consumer manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023, using secondary data collected via purposive sampling. The independent variables in this study include the natural logarithm of total assets, asset growth (this year’s total assets relative to the previous year), and tangibility (the fixed asset ratio to total assets). Leverage uses the debt-to-asset ratio, and total asset turnover uses the total asset turnover ratio, while the dependent variable of profitability uses return on assets. Of the 108 companies in the population, 19 that met the research sample criteria were selected, yielding 95 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression, accompanied by classical assumption tests and hypothesis testing through F-tests and t-tests. The findings of this study reveal that asset growth has a significant positive effect on profitability, while leverage shows a significant negative effect. However, firm size, tangibility, and total asset turnover do not exhibit significant relationships with profitability. This study contributes both theoretically and practically to understanding the internal determinants of financial performance in the consumer sector and serves as a reference for management.

Tax avoidance can be detrimental to the country because it reduces the state's revenue. This study aims to analyze the effect of sales growth, capital intensity, and earnings management on tax avoidance with company size as a moderating variable. The population of this study comprises 221 manufacturing companies listed on the IDX in 2020-2024, with a sample of 64 companies selected via purposive sampling based on specific criteria, yielding a total of 320 observations analyzed using panel data regression (E-Views 12). The results show that sales growth directly affects tax avoidance, and company size moderates the relationship between sales growth and tax avoidance. However, capital intensity and earnings management do not have a significant effect, and company size cannot moderate the relationship between capital intensity and earnings management with tax avoidance. These findings emphasize that high sales growth can encourage companies to comply with tax regulations, thereby reducing tax avoidance, and that this effect can be suppressed by large company size due to greater reputational pressure and scrutiny. This study expands on previous research by making company size a moderating variable in the relationship between sales growth, capital intensity, and earnings management and tax avoidance.

In the investment world, stock returns are the leading indicator of a company’s performance and the basis for investor decision-making in the capital market. Fluctuations in stock returns reflect market expectations of the company’s prospects. The retail sector in Indonesia is facing significant pressure from post-pandemic shifts in consumer behavior and increased competition. This study aims to analyze the effect of financial distress, company size, liquidity, operating cash flow, and accounting profit on stock returns in retail sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2021 to 2023. This type of research is causally associated with a quantitative approach. The data used is secondary, in the form of financial statements from retail companies. The sampling technique used was purposive, yielding a total of 39 data points from 13 retail companies. Data testing was carried out using SPSS version 24. The results showed that partially, the variables of financial distress, company size, liquidity, and accounting profit had no significant effect on stock returns. Meanwhile, operating cash flow positively impacts stock returns. These findings indicate that fundamental indicators are not always the main determinants of stock returns. Therefore, investors are advised also to consider external factors such as market sentiment, macroeconomic conditions, and government policies that may have a greater influence on stock performance in the capital market.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of profitability, leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow shocks on the financial distress of companies in the hotel, restaurant, and tourism subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2021 to 2024. The research approach employed is quantitative, using logistic regression analysis. The data analyzed are secondary data obtained from the annual financial statements of the respective companies. The results of the study indicate that, simultaneously, the four independent variables significantly influence financial distress. However, based on partial testing, each variable, namely Return on Assets (ROA), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Current Ratio (CR), and cash flow shock, does not show a significant relationship with financial distress. These findings imply that the risk of financial distress in this industry cannot be explained solely through a single financial indicator; instead, a more holistic approach is required. This study provides essential contributions to both management and investors in assessing companies' financial condition and formulating appropriate strategic decisions.

This study evaluates the impact of TATO, ROA, DER, stock returns, and firm size on company value (PBV) for 28 infrastructure companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2021–2023. The background to this research is the crucial role of the infrastructure sector amid government budget dynamics that affect corporate performance and investor perception. The results show that ROA, DER, and stock returns have a significant positive effect on company value. This indicates that high profitability, optimal debt management, and good stock returns send positive signals to the market. Conversely, TATO was found to have a significant negative effect, reflecting that inefficiencies in asset management can reduce investor confidence. Meanwhile, firm size had no significant impact on company value. This study recommends that investors use ROA, DER, and stock return as key indicators in decision-making. At the same time, companies are advised to optimise profitability and debt management to enhance their value in the eyes of investors.

This study aims to analyze the effect of taxpayer compliance and taxpayer awareness on the obligation to pay individual income taxes in Tasikmadu District. Taxes are the primary source of state revenue; therefore, compliance and awareness play a crucial role in optimizing tax collection. However, the compliance level of individual taxpayers in Tasikmadu District remains suboptimal, as many taxpayers have not fulfilled their obligations accurately and on time. This research employed a quantitative approach with a survey method. The population consisted of individual taxpayers registered in Tasikmadu District, and a total of 400 respondents were selected using Slovin’s formula. Data were collected through questionnaires with a Likert scale and analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of statistical software. The results indicate that taxpayer compliance has a positive and significant effect on the obligation to pay taxes. Taxpayer awareness also shows a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, compliance and awareness significantly influence individual tax obligations in Tasikmadu District. The adjusted R² value of 0.420 demonstrates that these two variables explain 42.0% of the variation in tax obligations, while the remaining 58.0% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Directorate General of Taxes improve tax education and socialization programs, as well as expand the use of technology-based tax services to strengthen taxpayer compliance and awareness. Strengthening these aspects is expected to enhance tax revenue optimization and support sustainable national development.

The size of the company as a moderator in defining the correlation between capital structure, profit, and firm value is the focus of this study. Adopting a quantitative associative approach, this research focuses on the non-cyclical consumer sector registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020–2023. Of the 125 companies, 73 were purposively selected to create the research sample, yielding 292 observations after excluding entities with incomplete data and those with special monitoring status. The authors gathered secondary data from audited yearly financial reports through the IDX portal and corporate websites. The analysis used quasi-moderation techniques by combining independent variables, moderation, and interaction in a single regression model, processed through EViews 13. The research results show that capital structure has a significant positive impact on firm value, while profitability has no significant impact. Firm size has been shown to affect the relationship that exists between capital structure and firm value, but it does not moderate the association between profitability and firm value. These findings confirm that leverage’s effectiveness in increasing firm value is independent of company size and that profitability is not a primary determinant in this context. This research provides empirical evidence to advance capital structure theory and to inform executives’ strategic financial decisions and investors’ evaluations of corporate outlooks.

This study aims to analyze the effect of cum and ex-dividend dates and company size on stock prices using the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) as a moderating variable. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis with moderating variables on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This research is based on signaling theory, which states that dividend information can serve as a signal for investors in making investment decisions. The results of the study indicate that all independent and moderating variables in the model simultaneously have a significant influence on stock prices. This suggests that the regression model used in this study is valid and can comprehensively explain stock price variations. This study implies that companies need to develop a more structured financial communication strategy, particularly in the disclosure of dividend information. Not only should the timing of dividend distribution be communicated, but the number of dividends to be distributed should also be clearly communicated to strengthen investor response. The implementation of this strategy must be accompanied by compliance with OJK and IDX regulations to maintain market confidence and increase the value of company shares.

The study aims to analyze the influence of Self-esteem, narcissism, Knowledge Sharing, professional skepticism, and Educational Level on Auditor Performance. The research was conducted with auditors at the Public Accounting Firm Jojo Sunarjo & Partners to understand how psychological characteristics, professional behaviour, and educational background contribute to optimal auditor performance. The study included 202 active auditors. Data analysis was carried out using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach with SmartPLS version 4.0. The results show that Self-esteem, Knowledge Sharing, Professional Skepticism, and Educational Level positively influence Auditor Performance. Meanwhile, Narcissism has an adverse effect on Auditor Performance. These findings highlight the importance of personality traits and professional conduct in supporting the quality of auditor performance.

Digital transformation has become a crucial requirement for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to enhance their competitiveness in the technological era. This study aims to examine the trends and challenges faced by MSMEs in the digitalization process through a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. A total of 35 scholarly articles published within the last five years were analyzed using specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings indicate that the digitalization trends among MSMEs encompass the adoption of cloud-based technologies, the use of social media for marketing, the utilization of e-commerce platforms, and the integration of digital financial systems. However, the main challenges identified include low digital literacy, limited infrastructure, relatively high implementation costs, resistance to change, and insufficient policy support. This study not only provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state of MSME digital transformation but also identifies research gaps that have been rarely discussed. Furthermore, it offers strategic directions for researchers, MSME practitioners, and policymakers to develop more targeted strategies in accelerating and expanding digital transformation within Indonesia’s MSME sector.

This study aims to analyse the influence of digital products, brand awareness, and service quality on perceived branch performance in a financial institution in Indonesia. The research is motivated by the accelerating digital transformation in the country’s banking industry, which requires conventional financial institutions to innovate to remain competitive amid the growth of fintech and digital banks. The main problem addressed is how these three variables simultaneously and partially affect perceived branch performance. A quantitative approach was employed using survey techniques and questionnaires distributed to customers. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to process the data. The results reveal that digital products, brand awareness, and service quality significantly influence perceived branch performance, both individually and collectively. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.652, indicating that the three variables can explain 65.2% of the variance in perceived branch performance. These findings highlight the importance of integrating digital innovation, strong brand presence, and excellent service in improving competitiveness and branch performance in the digital era. The study contributes practical implications for financial institutions in formulating strategic improvements to maintain relevance and competitiveness amid digital disruption.

This study aims to examine the influence of servant leadership (SL) on perceived organizational support (POS), job satisfaction (JS), job embeddedness (JE), and turnover intentions (TI) among private bank employees in West Jakarta. The research is motivated by the high turnover rate in the banking industry, despite organizational efforts to strengthen leadership and employee support. A total of 154 employees participated by completing an online Likert-scale questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4.1.0.9. The findings reveal that SL positively and significantly influences POS (β=0.667), JS (β=0.585), and JE (β=0.579). Furthermore, POS (β=−0.328), JE (β=−0.386), and JS (β=−0.220) significantly and negatively affect TI. Predictive relevance is supported with Q² values ranging from 0.283 to 0.604, while model fit testing using SRMR yielded 0.050 (saturated) and 0.127 (estimated). Bootstrapping was conducted with 5,000 resamples, two-tailed testing, bias-corrected accelerated (BCa), and 95% confidence intervals. Theoretically, this research strengthens the literature by demonstrating that SL enhances workplace relationships through improved POS, JS, and JE, which subsequently reduces turnover intentions. Practically, the findings provide implications for banking management to adopt servant leadership as a strategic approach to employee retention. Nevertheless, despite high levels of POS, JS, and JE, some respondents still report turnover intentions, indicating the presence of unmodeled external factors such as career opportunities, workload, or industry dynamics. This study is limited by its cross-sectional design and one-time self-report measurement; thus, generalizations and causal inferences should be made with caution.

Taxes serve as the primary source of state revenue and a crucial component in financing national development through the State Budget (APBN). This study examines the determinants of individual taxpayer compliance within the Klaten Primary Tax Office (KPP) in Central Java, with particular emphasis on the influence of awareness, comprehension of regulations, and understanding of tax sanctions. The research method uses a quantitative associative approach. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents using a nonprobability sampling technique, using the accidental sampling method. The data was analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results show that awareness, understanding of regulations, and comprehension of tax sanctions have a statistically significant effect on individual taxpayer compliance, both partially and simultaneously. The adjusted R value illustrates the model's ability to explain the data at 64.7%. To improve taxpayer compliance, tax authorities are advised to routinely conduct sustainable and easily accessible tax education programs, enforce tax sanctions consistently and transparently, and be supported by awareness campaigns for taxpayers in fulfilling their responsibilities to the state.

This study aims to examine the effect of sales growth, profitability, capital structure, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm value in companies listed in the LQ45 index during the 2022–2024 period. This research also intends to provide insights for investors in evaluating the factors that influence firm value as a basis for investment decision-making, including sales growth, profitability, capital structure, CSR, and firm value. The population of this study consists of 45 LQ45 companies, with a sample of 32 companies selected using purposive sampling based on specific criteria, resulting in 96 total observations. The research results show that sales growth and CSR do not affect firm value. Meanwhile, profitability and capital structure hurt firm value. This study concludes that sales growth has not yet become a strong fundamental signal for investors, as it does not always reflect sustainable performance. High profitability, in fact, has a negative effect on firm value, which may be due to a mismatch between short-term profits and the long-term prospects expected by investors. A high capital structure signals greater financial risk, thereby reducing investor confidence in the company. Meanwhile, CSR has not had a significant impact on firm value, possibly due to low disclosure quality or a lack of investor attention to sustainability issues.

This study aims to examine the effect of firm size, profitability, capital structure, and asset structure on firm value in the food and beverage subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019–2023 period. This causal research employs secondary data obtained from annual reports and applies purposive sampling, resulting in 13 companies with a total of 65 observations. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted after passing classical assumption tests. The findings indicate that profitability and capital structure have a significant positive effect on firm value, while asset structure has a substantial adverse effect. Firm size shows no significant impact on firm value. These results suggest that efficiency has a greater influence on firm value in resource utilization and financial structure management than the size of assets owned. This study contributes to the corporate finance literature, particularly in the context of Indonesia’s food and beverage industry. It provides practical implications for managers and investors in making informed investment decisions.
