Abstract

Tax avoidance remains a persistent concern in the global banking industry, including Islamic commercial banks, where financial decision-making is expected to align with Shariah-based governance principles. This study revisits the determinants of tax avoidance in Islamic commercial banks by critically examining the roles of profitability, capital structure, and firm size within a Shariah-compliant institutional context. Employing a quantitative research design, this study analyzes panel data from nine Islamic commercial banks that consistently published quarterly financial reports from 2018 to 2022. The empirical analysis is conducted using panel regression techniques in EViews 10, supported by classical assumption tests, model feasibility tests, and coefficient-of-determination analysis. The findings reveal that profitability and capital structure significantly Influence tax avoidance behavior in Islamic commercial banks, while firm size does not exhibit a statistically significant effect. These results suggest that internal financial performance and leverage decisions play a more decisive role than organizational scale in shaping tax-related behavior, even within Shariah-oriented institutions. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of conventional financial determinants with a Shariah-based governance perspective, offering critical insights into how Islamic banks navigate the tension between profit optimization and ethical tax compliance. The findings contribute to the global Islamic economics literature by providing policy-relevant implications for strengthening governance mechanisms and enhancing fiscal responsibility in Islamic financial institutions.

Abstract

Financial inclusion is a crucial element in promoting sustainable and equitable economic development. However, the level of financial inclusion still faces various challenges, particularly those related to the quality of human resources and the ability to adapt to digital technology developments. This study aims to analyze the relationship between human capital and digital literacy on financial inclusion. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive-exploratory design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation with productive-age individuals, micro and small business owners, and related parties involved in formal financial services. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis to identify patterns and meanings emerging from the experiences and perceptions of informants. The results show that human capital plays a significant role in shaping individuals' understanding, attitudes, and trust in formal financial services. Education level, skills, and experience contribute to an individual's ability to access and utilize financial services. Furthermore, digital literacy has proven to be a crucial factor in supporting the utilization of technology-based financial services, particularly in increasing access, security, and intensity of use of digital financial services. This study also found that human capital and digital literacy have a mutually reinforcing relationship in promoting financial inclusion. Individuals with high levels of human capital and digital literacy demonstrate higher and more sustainable levels of financial participation. These findings emphasize that increasing financial inclusion must be accompanied by strengthening the quality of human resources and digital literacy within the community.
