The objective of this study is to examine The Effect of Company Size and Political Connections on Tax Avoidance Practices amongst Agricultural companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between the years 2018 to 2022. The size of a company is gauged by the natural logarithm of its total assets, while political connections are quantified through the use of a dummy variable, with a value of one denoting connected companies and a value of zero denoting unconnected ones. Finally, the extent of tax avoidance is measured through Book-to-Tax Differences (BTD).

The sample consisted of 8 companies and a total of 40 data points were collected through a purposive sampling method.
