Abstract

This study investigates the impact of corporate sustainability practices—specifically ESG performance, renewable energy adoption, and sustainability-oriented tax strategies—on tax avoidance within Indonesia’s energy sector. It explores the intersection between fiscal strategy and environmental governance in addressing ethical and sustainability-related challenges in corporate behavior. A mixed-methods approach was employed to gain a comprehensive understanding: the quantitative component analyzed 464 firm-year observations, while the qualitative component involved semi-structured interviews with five key informants, including tax professionals and sustainability managers. The quantitative results reveal that firms with stronger ESG engagement, higher proportions of renewable energy usage, and lower effective tax rates tend to exhibit lower levels of tax avoidance. These findings are reinforced by qualitative insights, which indicate that ethical values, reputational concerns, and organizational transparency significantly influence managerial tax decisions. However, inconsistent fiscal incentives and regulatory uncertainties in Indonesia remain major barriers to integrating sustainability into corporate tax strategies. This study contributes to the literature by reframing tax avoidance not merely as a legal or financial matter, but as a strategic sustainability issue embedded in corporate governance and operations. It offers practical policy implications, highlighting the need for coherent and targeted fiscal incentives to support the clean energy transition and ethical tax conduct in emerging economies. Keywords: Tax Avoidance; ESG Performance; Renewable Energy; Sustainability Governance; Mixed-Methods Approach.

Abstract

This study analyses the role of independent commissioners and audit committees in carrying out their supervisory functions on corporate tax policies taken by internal management, gender analysis on independent commissioners and audit committees is unique to this study where different behaviors of men and women have different impacts on independent commissioners and audit committees in carrying out their supervisory functions. A total of 570-panel data from 2015 to 2021 financial statements of manufacturing companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange were analyzed, this study found that multi-gender audit committees have a role in encouraging management to comply with tax regulations in the policies taken, as well as female audit committees and male independent commissioners separately. These results provide input for investors who are concerned about entity tax information to choose entities with criteria according to the findings of this study, namely entities that have multi-gender audit committees, entities that have female audit committees only, or entities that have independent commissioners only because the supervisory function carried out is optimal in encouraging tax-compliant entities and entities avoid the risk of tax penalties in the future.

Abstract

This research seeks to empirically investigate the effect of Earnings Management, transfer pricing, and sales growth on tax avoidance, with managerial ownership considered as a moderating variable. The study focuses on manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2019–2023, selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 76 companies and 380 panel observations analyzed using EVIEWS 13. The findings reveal that among the three independent variables, only sales growth significantly influences tax avoidance, while Earnings Management and transfer pricing show no significant impact. Nevertheless, managerial ownership is found to moderate the relationship between Earnings Management, transfer pricing, and sales growth with tax avoidance. These insights are valuable for both investors and corporate managers in evaluating tax avoidance practices.

The study was conducted with a multiple linear regression approach in testing the hypothesis, and the data collection technique used purposive sampling method. The sample in the study is a manufacturing company in the consumer goods sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2022 and has positive profits. The results showed that high corporate financial performance has the potential to minimise tax avoidance, this is because the resources owned by the company are able to encourage the company to pay taxes according to applicable regulations.. While corporate social responsibility or fixed asset intensity has no effect on tax avoidance.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of transfer pricing, earnings management, and firm size on tax avoidance, with managerial ownership as a distinguishing factor. Using a sample of 43 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023, the study employs panel data regression with the Common Effect Model. The results show a significant negative effect of transfer pricing on tax avoidance in companies without managerial ownership, indicating its use as an active tax avoidance strategy. Conversely, this effect is insignificant in firms with managerial ownership, suggesting greater caution due to reputational risks. Earnings management significantly affects tax avoidance in firms with managerial ownership, highlighting the dual role of managers as decision-makers and shareholders. Firm size, however, does not significantly influence tax avoidance across both types of ownership. These findings emphasize the moderating role of managerial ownership and support agency theory by illustrating how ownership structure shapes strategic financial behavior. This study contributes to the literature by offering a more nuanced understanding of tax avoidance practices in Indonesia’s manufacturing sector.

Abstract

The complexity of business transactions in Indonesia’s mining sector has raised concerns about tax avoidance, which reduces state revenue through legal loopholes. This study aims to analyze the impact of transfer pricing, capital intensity, and leverage on tax avoidance, with company size as a moderating variable, in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023. The research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression with data from 16 companies, resulting in 80 observations. Tax avoidance is measured by the ratio of tax expenses to pre-tax profits, transfer pricing by related party transactions to total sales, capital intensity by fixed assets to total assets, leverage by total debt to total assets, and company size by the natural logarithm of total assets. The findings indicate that transfer pricing and leverage significantly influence tax avoidance, while capital intensity and company size as a moderating variable do not. These results suggest that mining companies use profit shifting and debt financing to minimize tax obligations. This study contributes to understanding tax avoidance practices and offers recommendations for policymakers to enhance regulations, particularly on transfer pricing and debt-related deductions, to ensure fairer tax contributions in the mining sector.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of managerial ownership, transfer pricing, and company size on earnings management, with tax avoidance as a mediating variable, in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2020-2023. This research uses a quantitative approach with a causal-comparative design. The purposive sampling method was used to select 42 companies, resulting in 168 company-year observations. The data were analyzed using panel data regression with Random Effect Model (REM) based on Chow, Hausman, and LM tests. The results show that only transfer pricing has a significant and positive effect on earnings management, while managerial ownership and firm size do not show a significant effect. In addition, tax avoidance significantly strengthens the relationship between transfer pricing and earnings management but weakens the relationship between managerial ownership and firm size. These results imply that firms tend to manipulate earnings through strategic transfer pricing, especially if accompanied by aggressive tax avoidance. The novelty of this study lies in integrating tax avoidance as a mediating factor in the agency theory framework to explain earnings management practices in emerging markets such as Indonesia.

Abstract

This study analyses the role of company owners based on the number of shares owned by institutions, the largest shareholder, and foreign owners on tax planning of manufacturing companies from 2014 to 2019. Using STATA on panel data after purposive sampling, this study concludes that institutional owners play a role in encouraging management in tax planning towards aggressive minimisation of tax burden, but foreign owners are known to encourage management in tax planning towards compliance, and concentrated ownership has no significant effect. These results contribute to stakeholders who have an interest in corporate tax procedures and burdens to consider the company's shareholders for their role in tax planning by management. The use of Effective Tax Rate and Penalty (ETRP) as an indicator of tax planning developed in this study shows maximum results so that it can be used in further research.

Abstract

Research Originality: This research may suggest a deeper relationship between internal company factors and tax aggressiveness, which has not been studied explicitly. Many studies examine the influence of external factors, but this study can highlight how a company's internal financial and tax management decisions can influence tax aggressiveness.Research Objectives: This study investigates the influence of several financial factors, such as thin capitalization, financial distress, and earnings management, on tax aggressiveness.Research Methods: This study analyzed 310 data from manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023.Empirical Results: This study found that the high thin capitalization range can reduce tax aggressiveness. Conversely, earnings management is one tool used by management to reduce tax aggressiveness, while financial distress has no impact on tax aggressiveness.Implications: The study suggests that while certain financial practices influence tax aggressiveness, broader factors such as financial stability, investor relations, and risk management also play a significant role.JEL Classification: M41, H26
