This study seeks to evaluate the extent to which profitability, leverage, independent commissioners, and political links influence tax avoidance in Indonesian mining companies for the 2021–2024 timeframe. The mining sector was chosen because it contributes significantly to national income but is typically associated with the practice of tax avoidance. The novelty of this study lies in the addition of the political connections variable, which has rarely been studied in the context of Indonesian mining. The research data were obtained from annual reports and financial statements of companies obtained through purposive sampling, resulting in 77 observations. Multiple linear regression analysis under a quantitative method was applied, and the evidence suggests that profitability contributes positively to tax avoidance, as higher profits are associated with a stronger tendency for companies to minimize tax payments. Conversely, political connections have a negative effect, indicating that political and military experience shapes loyalty to the interests of the state, thereby encouraging tax compliance. Meanwhile, leverage and independent commissioners do not exert any influence on tax avoidance. The outcomes of this research may serve as a reference for regulators, scholars, and investors to better comprehend the determinants of tax avoidance and to contribute to enhancing governance structures and refining tax policy.

Tax avoidance is an effort made by companies to reduce the amount of tax payable. The main source of state revenue is taxes, but tax avoidance that exploits legal loopholes to reduce the tax burden remains an issue on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020 to 2024. This study aims to examine the effect of profitability, capital intensity, and leverage on tax avoidance. This study applies a quantitative research approach using secondary data obtained from annual financial reports published on the official website www.idx.co.id as well as from the respective company websites. The analytical method employed is multiple linear regression. The research population consists of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2024, with a final sample of 92 observations selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that profitability and capital intensity significantly influence tax avoidance, whereas leverage shows no significant effect on tax avoidance.

This study aims to examine the effect of investment in fixed assets, financial performance, and thin capitalization on tax avoidance in non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2023. The research utilizes 431 company samples and employsAmultiple linear regression analysis. A descriptive quantitative method with a purposive sampling technique is applied, ensuring that only companies meeting specific criteria are included in the study. The findings.indicate that, simultaneously, the three independent variables have a significant influence on tax avoidance. However, when tested individually, more detailed results emerge. The variable of.investment in fixed assets does not show a significant effect on tax avoidance, suggesting that the size of fixed assets does not necessarily determine a company’s level of tax avoidance. In contrast, financial performance demonstrates a positive effect, indicating that companies with.stronger performance tend to have a greater ability to engage in tax planning. Meanwhile, thin capitalization has a negative effect, meaning that a higher proportion of certain types of debt tends to reduce the level of tax avoidance. These findings provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing tax avoidance behavior in Indonesia.

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.

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.

This research aims to examine the effect of profit optimization on market reaction and the mediating role of tax avoidance in this relationship among insurance sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2023 period. Profit optimization is proxied by Return on Assets, market reaction by stock returns, and tax avoidance by the Effective Tax Rate. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the financial statements of 17 insurance sub-sector companies, with a final sample of 10 companies selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and path analysis. The results indicate that profit optimization has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance. However, tax avoidance does not influence market reaction, and profit optimization also does not have a direct effect on market reaction. Furthermore, tax avoidance is able to mediate the effect of profit optimization on market reaction. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how earnings information quality, taxation strategies, and investor responses interact in shaping capital market dynamics within the insurance industry. The findings also provide a foundation for future research to explore external factors that may influence these relationships, offering additional academic value for strengthening subsequent studies.

This study aims to examine how profits and company size affect tax avoidance in energy companies listed on the stock exchange between 2022 and 2024. This study applies a quantitative approach using secondary data from annual financial reports. The population data was taken from 18 energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, while the sample selection was conducted using purposive sampling. The main phenomenon affecting the test results is the existence of incentives for highly profitable companies to engage in tax avoidance due to the potential for more significant tax savings. In addition, large companies usually have more resources and complex organizational structures, which give them more opportunities to carry out innovative and aggressive tax planning. It is hoped that this study can offer a fresh understanding of tax avoidance practices in the energy sector in Indonesia. The impact of this study is important for authorities to understand the relationship between corporate profitability, entity size, and tax avoidance practices, especially in the energy sector, which plays a strategic role. This understanding can assist in formulating more appropriate taxation policies to maintain economic stability and fiscal justice. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on business entities in the energy sector listed on the Stock Exchange from 2022 to 2024, which is a dynamic period marked by global commodity price fluctuations, changes in energy policy, and significant geopolitical challenges.

Taxes are a primary source of government revenue and play a crucial role in economic development. However, tax avoidance practices are still widely practiced by companies, including in the mining sector, which has significant potential to generate state revenue. This study aims to examine the influence of financial distress, corporate governance (independent commissioners and audit committees), and institutional ownership on tax avoidance in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020–2023 period. The study population consisted of 83 companies, and through purposive sampling, 61 companies were selected, with a total of 244 observations. The analysis used panel data regression with the help of Eviews 25. The results indicate that financial distress and institutional ownership have a positive effect on tax avoidance, while independent commissioners and audit committees have a negative effect on tax avoidance. These findings suggest that a company's financial condition and ownership structure play a significant role in determining tax avoidance policies.

Tax avoidance is a corporate strategy to reduce tax minimizing tax liabilities while remaining compliant with applicable tax regulations. This strategy is considered significant in financial management practices, as it serves as a legitimate and efficient tax planning tool to optimize a company's financial condition. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of leverage, sales growth, and corporate risk on tax avoidance practices in energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2020 to 2024. This research employs a quantitative method utilizing secondary data gathered from annual reports of companies, which were accessed via the official website www.idx.co.id and each energy sector company's official website. The analytical method employed in this study is multiple linear regression. The population consists of energy sector firms listed on the IDX during the 2020–2024 period, and a sample of 80 data obtained using purposive sampling based on certain relevant criteria. The results of the study indicate that leverage affects tax avoidance, while sales growth and corporate risk do not affect tax avoidance. Simultaneously, leverage, sales growth, and corporate risk affect tax avoidance.

This research investigates the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), along with Capital Intensity, Company Scale, and Profitability, on practices of Tax Evasion within energy firms registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2022 to 2024. The matter of tax evasion endures as a major concern, given its effects on government funds and business openness. By employing a quantitative method featuring a causal-associative structure, the study empirically explores the links between these factors. Information from secondary sources, including yearly reports and sustainability documents, was collected and examined through multiple linear regression analysis via IBM SPSS version 26. The findings show that CSR exerts a positive and meaningful influence on Tax Evasion, whereas Capital Intensity and Company Scale demonstrate positive influences that lack significance. In opposition, Profitability displays a negative and meaningful effect on Tax Evasion. As a whole, the independent factors together exert a significant influence on tax evasion behaviors. These outcomes strengthen agency and legitimacy theories, implying that CSR initiatives could function as a tool for securing legitimacy in handling tax duties while promoting long-term corporate adherence to fiscal obligations.

This study aims to present evidence on the effect of capital intensity, inventory intensity, and leverage disclosure on tax avoidance. This research utilizes secondary data from financial statements sourced from www.idx.co.id and the official websites of companies in the property and real estate sectors using quantitative research. The proxy used in measuring tax avoidance is using the effective tax rate (ETR) as the dependent variable and the independent variables used include capital intensity, inventory intensity, and leverage. Multiple linear regression analysis is the analysis technique used. The property and real estate sector listed on the IDX in the period 2021 to 2024 is the population in this study and the number of samples collected is 85 data obtained using the purposive sampling method. The findings of this research indicate that capital intensity, inventory intensity, and leverage significantly influence tax avoidance positively. These findings suggest that the higher the level of investment in fixed assets, inventory, and debt-to-equity ratio, the greater the tendency of a company to engage in tax avoidance.

This study aims to examine the effect of Leverage and capital intensity on tax avoidance with independent commissioners as a moderating variable in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Tax avoidance practices in this sector are considered relatively high due to the complexity of fixed asset management and financing structures. The study applies a quantitative approach with an associative method and purposive sampling, resulting in 21 companies as the final sample with a total of 105 observations during the 2020–2024 period. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with SPSS version 25. The results show that leverage has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, indicating that a higher level of debt usage increases the likelihood of tax avoidance through interest expenses. Capital intensity also has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, as higher investment in fixed assets provides opportunities for firms to utilize depreciation expenses in reducing taxable income. The moderating test reveals that independent commissioners do not moderate the relationship between leverage and tax avoidance but significantly moderate the relationship between capital intensity and tax avoidance in a negative direction, thereby weakening the effect. These findings highlight the importance of corporate governance mechanisms through the presence of independent commissioners in mitigating tax avoidance, although their effectiveness remains limited to specific aspects. This study contributes empirically to the taxation and corporate governance literature and provides recommendations for regulators and tax authorities in strengthening tax compliance monitoring in the property sector.

Indonesia's tax ratio remains below the 15 percent threshold recommended by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), reflecting a significant gap in tax revenue collection. This low ratio may indicate the presence of aggressive tax planning strategies, including tax avoidance practices, particularly among multinational enterprises. This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between multinationality, transfer pricing aggressiveness, and the use of tax havens on tax avoidance. The research focuses on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019–2023. A total of 64 companies were selected as samples through purposive sampling based on specific criteria, including the availability of relevant financial data and disclosure of international operations. The variables analyzed include the degree of multinationality, transfer pricing aggressiveness as proxied by related party transactions, and involvement with tax haven jurisdictions. The dependent variable, tax avoidance, is measured using the effective tax rate (ETR) approach. Data were processed and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with the aid of STATA version 17. The findings of the study reveal that multinationality and transfer pricing aggressiveness do not have a significant relationship with tax avoidance. In contrast, the use of tax haven countries is positively associated with tax avoidance, suggesting that firms utilizing tax havens are more likely to engage in practices that reduce their tax liabilities. These results have implications for tax authorities in identifying and addressing high-risk corporate behaviors related to offshore financial structures. The study contributes to the literature on international taxation by providing empirical evidence from a developing country context.

This study aims to analyze the effect of capital intensity, leverage, and company size on tax avoidance in property and real estate sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. The research method used is an associative quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from corporate financial reports. The sample was selected using purposive sampling technique, resulting in 4 companies that met the criteria. The multiple linear regression analysis shows that partially, capital intensity and leverage have a significant positive effect on tax avoidance, while company size has a significant negative effect. Simultaneously, the three variables have a significant influence on tax avoidance. This study implies that companies should consider fixed asset investment strategies, financing structure, and firm size in managing their tax obligations efficiently and legally.

Tax avoidance is a crucial issue in corporate governance as it can reduce state revenue and create potential legal claims against the company itself. This study aims to explore the internal elements of firms that influence tax avoidance behaviour, with an emphasis on firm size, capital intensity, sales growth, and earnings management. The methodology employed in this research is a quantitative approach, using purposive sampling to select the companies serving as samples, and multiple linear regression analysis accompanied by classical assumption testing to ensure the reliability of the model used. The results of the analysis indicate that internal firm factors have a significant overall effect on tax avoidance. However, when examined individually, only firm size demonstrates a significant impact, while capital intensity, sales growth, and earnings management do not show a meaningful influence. These findings reaffirm that companies with larger asset bases tend to be more actively engaged in tax avoidance practices, thereby requiring tax authorities to strengthen their oversight of firms with substantial asset scales.

The phenomenon of tax avoidance in Indonesia remains a significant issue, one of which is the case of PT. Adaro Energy Tbk, which practiced tax avoidance through transfer pricing to its subsidiary in Singapore, Coaltrade Service International, from 2009 to 2017. Based on this phenomenon, this study aims to analyze the effect of leverage and profitability on tax avoidance with transfer pricing as a moderating variable in coal subsector energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2023 period. This study uses descriptive analysis methods, classical assumption tests, Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA), and hypothesis testing with t-tests. The data processing tool used is SPSS version 23. The study population consisted of 45 companies, and through purposive sampling technique, 12 companies were obtained as samples with a three-year observation period, resulting in a total sample of 36 data. The results show that leverage has a positive effect on tax avoidance, while profitability has no effect on tax avoidance. Meanwhile, transfer pricing has a negative effect on tax avoidance. Interestingly, transfer pricing has been shown to strengthen the relationship between leverage and tax avoidance, as well as the relationship between profitability and tax avoidance. This finding confirms that "transfer pricing can be a significant moderating factor in corporate tax management strategies." Therefore, the results of this study contribute to understanding tax avoidance practices in the coal subsector for companies and regulators, as well as providing policy implications for tax regulations in Indonesia.

This study aims to examine the implications of Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 37 of 2025 on the national fiscal balance and the resilience of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the context of the rapid development of e-commerce in Indonesia. This PMK introduces a collect at the source mechanism, which is the appointment of certain marketplaces as collectors of Income Tax (PPh) Article 22 on online merchant transactions. This policy is seen as one of the strategic steps to expand the digital tax base, improve fiscal efficiency, and support the principle of compliance by design. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach through documentation studies of official government documents, academic literature, and relevant publications. The results of the study show that the implementation of PMK 37/2025 has the potential to have a positive impact on state revenue through digital taxation optimization. In addition, this policy can strengthen the fiscal balance by minimizing the potential for tax avoidance in the growing digital economy sector. However, on the other hand, the policy also poses a number of challenges for MSMEs, especially related to administrative readiness, limited fiscal literacy, and adaptability to the tax digitalization system. For most MSMEs, additional tax liabilities can be a burden that affects cash flow, competitiveness, and business sustainability, especially for MSMEs that are still in the growth stage and have limited resources. The policy implications identified include the importance of improving fiscal education and literacy programs, the development of user-friendly digital reporting systems, and active collaboration between fiscal authorities, marketplaces, and MSME actors. Thus, the success of the implementation of PMK 37/2025 is not only determined by regulations, but also by the extent to which the policy is able to be implemented in an inclusive, adaptive, and sustainable manner in supporting national economic development.

Tax avoidance is a form of tax planning, which refers to the implementation of tax reduction strategies by companies through legal means due to imperfections in tax legislation. This study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of transfer pricing and thin capitalization on tax avoidance with profitability as a moderating variable. The research was conducted on all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020–2023. The sample was determined using a purposive sampling method, resulting in 127 companies, with a total of 508 observations across four (4) periods. Data collection was carried out using a non-participant observation method by accessing financial statements from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Data were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the SPSS application. The results show that profitability moderates by weakening the relationship between transfer pricing and tax avoidance. However, profitability does not moderate the effect of thin capitalization on tax avoidance.

This study aims to examine the effect of Thin Capitalization, Sales Growth, and Capital Intensity on Tax Avoidance, with Institutional Ownership as a moderating variable in coal sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. The background of this study is based on the importance of tax management as a company efficiency strategy, while maintaining compliance with tax regulations. The coal industry was chosen because of its capital-intensive characteristics, fluctuating sales growth rates, and the tendency of companies to engage in aggressive tax planning. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 50 company samples during the observation period. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of E-Views 13 software to test the direct relationship between variables, and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to test the role of Institutional Ownership as a moderating variable. The results show that Thin Capitalization has no significant effect on Tax Avoidance, which indicates that high debt ratios are not always utilized by companies to reduce tax burdens. Capital Intensity also had no significant effect on Tax Avoidance, indicating that the size of fixed asset investments does not directly influence tax avoidance practices. Conversely, Sales Growth had a significant positive effect on Tax Avoidance, indicating that high sales growth tends to encourage companies to optimize tax-saving strategies. Furthermore, the results of the moderation test revealed that Institutional Ownership did not moderate the relationship between Thin Capitalization, Sales Growth, or Capital Intensity on Tax Avoidance. This finding suggests that the supervisory role of institutional shareholders is ineffective in limiting or influencing tax avoidance strategies in coal companies. This research provides implications for regulators and investors to consider non-financial factors and governance mechanisms in efforts to control tax avoidance practices in strategic sectors like coal.
