This study aims to analyze the factors that influence earnings management in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the financial sector in Indonesia, causing a decrease in profitability, an increase in non-performing loans, and credit restructuring policies that affect company operations. In the face of these challenges, companies try to maintain a good image and investor satisfaction through earnings management. This study focuses on four factors that influence earnings management: profitability is measured by Return on Assets (ROA), dividend policy by Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), tax planning by tax retention rate, and deferred tax expense by comparison of deferred tax expense to total assets. The inconsistency of previous research results regarding the relationship between these variables encourages further research. The sampling method uses purposive sampling on financial companies listed on the IDX. The analysis in this study used multiple linear regression analysis. The samples used in this study included 15 financial companies and were analyzed using the classical assumption test, multiple linear regression using SPSS software version 25. The results of this study (1) Profitability and dividend policy partially do not affect total assets. (2) Tax planning and deferred tax expense partially have a significant effect on earnings management. (3) Profitability, dividend policy, tax planning and deferred tax expense simultaneously have a significant effect on earnings management.

The state's contribution from taxes amounts to 85%, indicating the dominant role of taxes in significantly contributing to the state's finances. This research aims to examine the influence of the self-assessment system and tax audits on the Value Added Tax (VAT) revenue. The self-assessment system emphasizes the active role of taxpayers in fulfilling their tax obligations; however, the potential for taxpayer non-compliance may negatively impact tax revenue. Therefore, tax audits are essential to balance the implementation of the self-assessment system and ensure that the filing of Tax Returns (SPT) aligns with the conditions of the taxable objects. This study employs a quantitative method with descriptive analysis. Data analysis involves multiple linear regression and testing classical assumptions such as multicollinearity, autocorrelation, normality, and heteroskedasticity. Hypothesis testing is conducted using t-tests and F-tests with the assistance of SPSS 22. A sample of 36 respondents was selected based on specific criteria, and secondary data were obtained from the Mulyorejo Primary Tax Office in the form of documents. The research findings indicate that simultaneously, the self-assessment system and tax audits do not significantly influence VAT revenue in the Mulyorejo Primary Tax Office during the period of 2020-2022. The implication is that while the active role of taxpayers and tax audits has potential impacts, their simultaneous implementation does not significantly contribute to the increased Value Added Tax revenue in the region.

This study aims to find empirical evidence about the effect of corporate governance on tax aggressiviness with the disclosure of corporate social responsibility as a moderating variable seen from the financial statements listed on the IDX. The sampel data is 193 annual financial reports in 2016-2020. The analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the SPSS version 21 program. Based on the results of data analysis and discussion conducted, it can be concluded that corporate governance has a positive effect on tax aggressiviness. Corporate social responsibility can weaken the negative influence of corporate governance on tax aggressiveness.
