Abstract

This study examines the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on tax avoidance and the moderating role of Big 4 audit quality within the Indonesian mining and energy sector. Using the Effective Tax Rate (ETR) as an inverse proxy for tax avoidance, the results reveal that extensive CSR disclosures significantly increase ETR, thereby actively reducing tax avoidance behavior. This major finding strongly supports legitimacy theory, demonstrating that environmentally sensitive firms utilize integrated social transparency and tax compliance to satisfy societal expectations, mitigate reputational risks, and secure their operational license. Conversely, the statistical analysis indicates that Big 4 audit quality fails to moderate this relationship, which contradicts traditional agency theory expectations regarding external governance. This lack of moderation demonstrates that in a highly complex and capital-intensive sector, external auditors function primarily to provide professional assurance on financial statement fairness rather than intervening in or restructuring strategic corporate tax planning. Consequently, tax policy remains a strictly internal managerial decision, and elite external oversight does not automatically enhance the impact of social commitments on tax compliance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of tax avoidance on stock returns and to examine the role of independent commissioners as a moderating variable in this relationship. The object of this research focuses on consumer goods companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020-2024 period. This quantitative study utilized a sample of 10 companies with a total of 50 observations, which were analyzed using panel data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the Common Effect Model (CEM) approach. Tax avoidance is proxied by the Effective Tax Rate (ETR), alongside control variables including profitability (ROA), leverage (DER), and firm size. The empirical results prove that tax avoidance has a positive and significant effect on stock returns, indicating that the market responds positively to tax efficiency as it effectively increases shareholder profit. However, independent commissioners are unable to moderate the relationship between tax avoidance and stock returns. In conclusion, investors in this particular sector tend to focus more on the company's fundamental performance rather than the effectiveness of internal corporate governance oversight.
