Tax aggressiveness refers to tactics employed by companies to manage or manipulate the magnitude of the tax burden they must bear, aiming to reduce their actual tax obligations without violating the law. This research examines the relationship between ownership concentration, tax risk, and corporate risk on tax aggressiveness, with accrual earnings management as a moderation variable.
