Abstract

This study examines the effects of profitability, thin capitalization, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on tax avoidance, as well as the moderating role of institutional ownership in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2021–2024. The energy sector was selected due to its capital-intensive nature, environmental impact, and high regulatory scrutiny regarding tax transparency. This study also addresses inconsistent findings in previous research concerning the determinants of tax avoidance and the effectiveness of institutional ownership as a governance mechanism. Using a quantitative associative approach, the research employed secondary data obtained from annual financial reports. Purposive sampling was used to select 30 companies, resulting in 120 firm-year observations. Data were analyzed using panel regression and moderation analysis in EViews. The results show that profitability has a significant negative effect on tax avoidance, indicating that more profitable firms tend to demonstrate greater tax compliance. Thin capitalization has a significant positive effect on tax avoidance, suggesting that debt financing encourages tax-minimization strategies through interest expense utilization. CSR reduces tax avoidance, while institutional ownership significantly moderates the relationships between profitability, thin capitalization, CSR, and tax avoidance by enhancing oversight and limiting opportunistic managerial behavior.

Abstract

This research delves into the multifaceted relationships between Transfer Pricing, Leverage, Profitability, Profit Management, and Tax Avoidance, with the moderating influence of Institutional Ownership in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). The study employs a descriptive research design with a quantitative approach, utilizing a multiple linear regression-based method through EViews. The research population comprises manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) between 2020 and 2021. The purposive sampling method was employed, resulting in a sample of 81 manufacturing companies, totaling 162 observations. Secondary data were collected from the official IDX website www.idx.co.id and www.yahoofinance.com. The findings indicate that Transfer Pricing and Leverage exhibit a significant positive influence on Tax Avoidance in manufacturing companies, while Profitability demonstrates a significant negative effect on Tax Avoidance. Conversely, Profit Management does not exhibit a significant impact on Tax Avoidance. Moreover, Institutional Ownership is identified as a moderator, strengthening the influence of Transfer Pricing and Leverage on Tax Avoidance. However, Institutional Ownership does not reinforce the influence of Profitability and Profit Management on Tax Avoidance. This research contributes valuable insights for policymakers, tax authorities, and corporate practitioners, highlighting the nuanced dynamics of Transfer Pricing, Leverage, Profitability, and Profit Management in shaping tax avoidance strategies, particularly in the context of manufacturing companies in Indonesia.
