State finances rely heavily on tax revenues, yet tax avoidance remains a persistent obstacle that can reduce government income. This practice is commonly associated with internal corporate conditions. Therefore, this research examines how profitability, leverage, firm size, and capital intensity relate to tax avoidance behavior. Employing a descriptive design with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), the study evaluates ten empirical articles published between 2021 and 2025 in Sinta and Scopus indexed journals. The analysis indicates that the influence of these internal factors varies across studies. Profitability and leverage demonstrate contradictory effects, as strong earnings and higher debt may stimulate aggressive tax planning through tax shields, but may also restrain avoidance to preserve corporate image. Firm size likewise presents inconsistent results due to regulatory and public attention. In contrast, capital intensity generally shows minimal influence because investments in fixed assets are directed toward operational efficiency. These findings provide valuable considerations for policymakers to strengthen tax deduction regulations and encourage responsible corporate tax compliance.

Tax is a major source of government revenue; however, tax avoidance remains a significant issue, particularly in the property and real estate sector, which is characterized by high growth and complex financial structures. This study examines the effects of leverage, profitability, and sales growth on tax avoidance, with firm size as a moderating variable. The study employs a quantitative approach, using secondary data from the annual financial statements of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020–2024 period. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using panel data regression techniques. Tax avoidance is proxied by the Cash Effective Tax Rate, leverage is measured by the Debt-to-Equity Ratio, profitability is measured by Return on Assets, sales growth is calculated as the annual change in sales, and firm size is measured using the natural logarithm of total assets. The results indicate that leverage and profitability significantly affect tax avoidance, whereas sales growth does not. Firm size is found to moderate the relationship between leverage and tax avoidance as well as between profitability and tax avoidance, but it does not moderate the relationship between sales growth and tax avoidance. The novelty of this study lies in the inclusion of sales growth as an independent variable and the positioning of firm size as a moderating variable within the property and real estate sector during the post-pandemic period. These findings provide practical implications for corporate tax management strategies and offer insights for regulators in strengthening tax supervision based on firm characteristics.

This study aims to analyze the effect of company size and profitability on tax avoidance in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2022–2024 period. The research uses secondary data obtained from published financial statements, with a sample of 333 companies selected through a purposive sampling technique. Panel data regression is employed as the main analytical method to examine the relationship between the independent variables and tax avoidance practices. The results of the analysis indicate that profitability has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, suggesting that more profitable companies tend to engage more actively in tax planning strategies to reduce tax burdens. In contrast, company size is found to have no significant effect on tax avoidance, indicating that large and small manufacturing firms exhibit similar tax behavior. Overall, this study provides empirical evidence regarding the determinants of corporate tax avoidance and contributes to the literature by offering insights for policymakers, regulators, and stakeholders in understanding tax avoidance behavior in the manufacturing sector.

This study aims to analyze the interrelationship between profitability, capital structure, firm size, and tax avoidance. It employs a descriptive analysis method combined with a literature review approach. The study draws upon various prior empirical studies indexed in Sinta 2 and Scopus Q2 from the period 2021–2024, as well as relevant secondary data sources. This approach is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing firms’ propensity to engage in tax avoidance practices. The results of the literature review indicate that there is a relationship between firms’ tendency to engage in tax avoidance and profitability, capital structure, and firm size. Higher profitability leads to increased tax burdens, thereby encouraging management to implement tax planning strategies in an effort to reduce the tax liabilities that must be settled. Furthermore, firms with higher proportions of debt and equity tend to have greater flexibility in managing their financial policies, which may influence their tax strategies. In addition, larger firms typically possess greater resources and broader access to professional expertise, enabling them to better identify and exploit opportunities for tax avoidance in order to maintain cash flow stability. It is expected that this study will contribute theoretically to the development of the literature on taxation and corporate finance. Moreover, the findings are anticipated to serve as a consideration for regulators in formulating more effective tax supervision policies.

Due to the fact that it exploits legal gaps (gray areas) in tax rules and regulations, tax avoidance is classified as a valid and non-violating activity, despite the fact that the government does not want it. This study aims to gather factual information about the relationship between tax avoidance and firm size, sales growth, capital intensity, and profitability. 111 data points were gathered from 37 banking companies that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2020 and 2022. The gathered data was examined using multiple regression analysis at a 5% significance level. It was discovered that there was no discernible relationship between tax evasion and profitability, capital intensity, firm size, or sales growth.

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.

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 research aimen to examine the effect of firm size and profitability on tax avoidance strategies in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020-2024. The analytical method used was quantitative associative research, conducted to test causality and the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable, with IBM SSPS Statistics 26 as the analytical tool. The findings showed that firm size had a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, and similarly, profitability was proven to have a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance. Simultaneously, both independent variables affected tax avoidance, with a significance value of 0,002 < 0,05. The Adjusted R2 value of 0,32 indicated that 3,2% of the variation in tax avoidance was explained by firm size and profitability, while the remaining 96,8% was influenced by other factors outside the research model. Based on this findings, it was recommended that manufacturing companies, particulary large firms with high profitability, should continue to implement tax efficiency strategies in accordance with statutory regulations (legal tax planning).
