Abstract

Background: Tax avoidance remains a critical concern in fiscal policy, as taxpayers seek to minimize tax obligations through strategies that often comply with legal frameworks.Specific Background: Among these strategies, transfer pricing, capital intensity, leverage, and liquidity are frequently cited as potential determinants, though empirical findings remain mixed. Knowledge Gap: Prior research has yet to fully explore the moderating role of firm size in the relationship between these variables and tax avoidance.Aim: This study investigates the influence of transfer pricing, leverage, liquidity, and capital intensity on tax avoidance, with firm size as a moderating variable. Results: Findings reveal that leverage and liquidity significantly affect tax avoidance, while transfer pricing and capital intensity show no direct effect. Firm size moderates the effect of transfer pricing, liquidity, and capital intensity on tax avoidance, but not the effect of leverage. Novelty: The integration of firm size as a moderator offers new insights into the conditional impact of financial and operational factors on tax avoidance behavior. Implications: These results contribute to the literature by highlighting firm-specific characteristics in tax planning strategies and can inform regulatory policy to better address aggressive tax practices. Highlights: Examines key financial factors influencing corporate tax avoidance. Identifies firm size as a moderating variable in specific relationships. Offers empirical evidence to guide tax policy and future research. Keywords: Transfer Pricing, Tax Avoidance, Firm Size, Leverage, Capital Intensity

Abstract

General Background: Tax avoidance remains a contentious issue in corporate financial management, drawing extensive academic and regulatory attention. Specific Background: While prior studies have examined the role of firm characteristics on tax behavior, limited attention has been given to the moderating effect of corporate governance.Knowledge Gap: Few empirical studies integrate internal company factors with governance mechanisms to explain variability in tax avoidance, especially in Indonesia’s transportation manufacturing sector. Aims: This study investigates the effects of leverage, firm size, thin capitalization, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and capital intensity on tax avoidance, and evaluates whether corporate governance—proxied by independent commissioners—modulates these relationships. Results: Using Smart-PLS analysis on data from 2019–2023, we find that firm size, thin capitalization, and capital intensity significantly influence tax avoidance, whereas leverage and CSR do not. Novelty: The study introduces a moderating analysis revealing that corporate governance can either amplify or dampen the influence of firm size, CSR, and capital intensity on tax avoidance—highlighting a nuanced role for governance mechanisms.Implications: These findings underscore the strategic role of independent commissioners in mitigating aggressive tax practices and offer insights for regulators aiming to improve corporate tax compliance through governance reforms. Highlights: Highlights the moderating role of independent commissioners in tax strategies. Reveals that firm size, thin capitalization, and capital intensity significantly impact tax avoidance. Offers evidence-based insights from Indonesia’s transportation manufacturing sector (2019–2023). Keywords: Tax Avoidance, Corporate Governance, Firm Characteristics, Capital Intensity, Independent Commissioners
