Abstract

This study investigates the effects of tax transparency and corporate governance on tax compliance, with tax digitalization as a moderating variable, among companies operating in the Cikarang–Cibitung industrial area. Grounded in legitimacy theory, the research posits that transparent tax practices, strong governance structures, and digital integration enhance organizational legitimacy and compliance. A quantitative research design was employed using survey data from 300 respondents involved in tax-related functions across manufacturing, trade, and service sectors. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results reveal that tax transparency significantly and positively affects tax compliance (β = 0.187, p < 0.001), supporting the notion that openness fosters trust and mitigates noncompliance risks. Similarly, corporate governance positively affects compliance (β = 0.169, p < 0.01), underscoring the importance of accountability and ethical oversight. The moderating analysis shows that tax digitalization strengthens the effects of both transparency (β = 0.221, p < 0.05) and governance (β = 0.198, p < 0.05) on compliance, indicating that digital platforms enhance efficiency and monitoring in tax administration. The model explains 65% of the variance in tax compliance (R² = 0.65), demonstrating robust explanatory power. These findings affirm legitimacy theory’s proposition that organizations maintain societal trust by adopting transparent, responsible, and digitally adaptive tax practices. The study contributes theoretically by integrating digital transformation into legitimacy-based frameworks and offers practical implications for policymakers and corporate leaders aiming to strengthen sustainable tax compliance.

Abstract

Growing concerns over aggressive earnings management practices have raised questions about the role of tax planning in corporate reporting. This study aims to examine whether tax planning moderates the relationship between current tax expense and earnings management in publicly listed manufacturing companies. Using panel data from firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2019–2023, the analysis employs regression models with interaction terms to capture the moderating effect. The results indicate that tax planning significantly alters the relationship, allowing firms to manage earnings without proportionally increasing current tax expenses. These findings highlight the dual role of tax planning as both a tool for fiscal efficiency and a potential mechanism for opportunistic behavior. The study concludes that stricter oversight is necessary to ensure that tax planning practices do not undermine the integrity of financial reporting.
