This study aims to examine the effect of financial performance on tax avoidance in start-up and established technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2023 period. Financial performance in this study is proxied by Return on Assets (ROA) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), while tax avoidance is proxied by Effective Tax Rate (ETR). This study uses a quantitative method with a comparative approach. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Data analysis was carried out using the Mann-Whitney U test and multiple linear regression using the SPSS application. The results of the study indicate that the financial performance of established companies is better than start-up companies, but there is no difference in tax avoidance in established and start-up companies. The results of this study prove that financial performance does not have a significant effect on tax avoidance. This study is expected to contribute to investors, academics, and policy makers in understanding the relationship between financial performance and tax avoidance in start-up and established companies.
