Abstract

This study investigates the effect of profitability and company size on tax avoidance in mining sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2019–2023. Tax avoidance remains a critical issue in the mining industry due to its strategic contribution to state revenue and the sector’s vulnerability to aggressive tax practices. Using a purposive sampling method, 10 mining companies meeting the research criteria were selected, resulting in 50 firm-year observations. The study employs multiple linear regression analysis using IBM SPSS Version 29 to assess the relationship among variables. The classical assumption tests—normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation—confirmed the validity of the regression model. The findings reveal that profitability has no significant effect on tax avoidance, indicating that highly profitable companies tend to comply with tax regulations to avoid reputational and legal risks. Conversely, company size shows a significant positive effect on tax avoidance, suggesting that larger firms possess greater resources and access to professional expertise, enabling them to implement structured tax avoidance strategies. The model’s Adjusted R² value of 0.181 indicates that 18.1% of tax avoidance behavior can be explained by profitability and company size. The study contributes to tax management literature by providing empirical evidence on firm characteristics influencing tax avoidance in Indonesia’s mining industry and offers insights for policymakers to enhance regulatory oversight.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of financial constraints on tax avoidance among mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2020–2022. Mining firms operate in a capital-intensive and highly regulated environment, making them vulnerable to fluctuations in commodity prices, financing frictions, and liquidity pressures. These conditions heighten the relevance of examining whether financial constraints influence corporate tax planning behavior. Using a quantitative research design, the study analyzes panel data from 24 mining companies that consistently reported complete audited financial statements over the three-year period, resulting in 72 firm-year observations. Financial constraints are measured using the Hadlock–Pierce (HP) Index, while tax avoidance is proxied by the Cash Effective Tax Rate (CETR), which captures real cash taxes paid relative to pre-tax income. Several control variables—firm size, profitability, leverage, and capital intensity—are included to account for operational and structural characteristics of mining firms. Panel regression analysis is conducted using the Hausman test to determine the appropriate model, supplemented by classical assumption testing to ensure statistical validity. The results are expected to provide empirical evidence on whether financially constrained mining firms engage more aggressively in tax avoidance as a strategy to preserve liquidity during periods of economic uncertainty, including the COVID-19 pandemic. The study contributes to the literature by offering sector-specific insights into the financial determinants of tax avoidance in a highly regulated extractive industry and provides implications for policymakers, investors, and corporate managers regarding financial pressure, compliance behavior, and fiscal governance.

Abstract

This study examines the performance of regional tax collection systems by focusing on the operational, administrative, and technological dynamics of Samsat offices in Indonesia. As the primary institutions responsible for administering the Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB), Samsat offices play a crucial role in strengthening regional fiscal capacity and supporting decentralized governance. Despite their strategic importance, variations in service quality, administrative efficiency, and technological readiness persist across regions. This research employs a quantitative approach using surveys distributed to taxpayers and administrative personnel to evaluate key performance dimensions, including service efficiency, digital service adoption, transparency, inter-agency coordination, and taxpayer compliance. Additional secondary data from provincial revenue reports and institutional documents complement the primary dataset. The findings reveal that administrative efficiency and service quality remain central determinants of taxpayer satisfaction and compliance, while digital innovations—such as online tax renewal platforms and mobile Samsat services—significantly improve accessibility and reduce processing times. However, disparities in infrastructure, digital literacy, and organizational readiness hinder uniform implementation across provinces. Inter-agency coordination among Bapenda, POLRI, and insurance providers also influences service consistency and operational effectiveness. Overall, the study demonstrates that enhancing Samsat performance requires integrated strategies combining administrative streamlining, digital transformation, human resource development, and improved governance mechanisms. The results provide practical implications for policymakers seeking to strengthen regional tax administration and contribute to the broader literature on public sector performance and fiscal management.

Abstract

This study examines the interconnected effects of capital structure and tax avoidance on corporate social responsibility (CSR) implementation among food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2021 to 2023. While corporate financing decisions and tax strategies are often viewed as mechanisms that shape resource allocation and managerial priorities, their influence on CSR engagement remains empirically contested. Using purposive sampling, the research analyzes firms that consistently published financial reports and used the Rupiah as their reporting currency during the observation period. Capital structure is measured through the debt-to-equity ratio, tax avoidance is assessed using the Cash Effective Tax Rate, and CSR implementation is evaluated using aggregated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores. Multiple regression analysis reveals that neither tax avoidance nor capital structure exerts a significant effect on CSR implementation. These findings diverge from prevailing theoretical expectations grounded in agency theory, trade-off theory, and compliance theory, which suggest that aggressive tax strategies or high leverage could undermine a firm’s commitment to socially responsible practices. The results indicate the possibility of moderating or mediating influences such as political connections, managerial ethics, governance quality, or investment opportunities that may weaken the direct relationship between financial strategies and CSR outcomes. The study contributes to the growing discourse on corporate responsibility by highlighting the need for more nuanced models that integrate ethical, organizational, and institutional factors when evaluating how firms balance financial decisions with their social obligations.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between sales growth, transfer pricing, and corporate tax avoidance strategies. Specifically, it explores how changes in sales growth affect multinational corporations' use of transfer pricing to reduce tax liabilities. Using a comprehensive dataset of multinational enterprises, the study applies an econometric model to identify the direct and indirect effects of sales growth on tax avoidance via transfer pricing. The sample consists of manufacturing companies in the food and beverage industry sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Purposive sampling was used for this study. In summary, despite transfer pricing being common among multinational corporations, this study finds no statistically significant direct impact on tax avoidance. Moreover, sales growth shows no moderating effect on this relationship. These findings highlight the complexity of identifying simple linear relationships and suggest the need for further research into how regulatory environments, firm-specific strategies, and macroeconomic factors influence the link between transfer pricing, sales growth, and tax avoidance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the optimization strategy for santripreneur development through the utilization of Sharia-based e-commerce startups and to examine the level of tax compliance within modern Islamic boarding schools. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, the research explores pesantren that have implemented digital entrepreneurship initiatives. The findings reveal that the application of Sharia-based e-commerce significantly enhances the economic independence of santri and expands the marketing network of pesantren products while promoting ethical and transparent business practices. However, low tax literacy among santri entrepreneurs remains a key challenge in achieving fiscal compliance. Integrating tax education and Sharia e-commerce training within the pesantren’s entrepreneurship curriculum is therefore crucial to establishing a sustainable santripreneur ecosystem that aligns with Islamic principles and national taxation laws. The study also highlights the strategic role of digitalization in transforming pesantren into centers of halal entrepreneurship and financial accountability. By combining religious, economic, and fiscal dimensions, this model contributes to the creation of responsible, innovative, and competitive santri entrepreneurs in the digital era. Future research is recommended to empirically validate this conceptual framework through field studies across diverse pesantren contexts.

Abstract

Taxes are mandatory contributions imposed on individuals and business entities to finance public needs and maintain economic stability. One essential tax instrument in Indonesia is the Motor Vehicle Tax (Pajak Kendaraan Bermotor/PKB). However, misperceptions related to PKB continue to emerge among certain taxpayer groups. This study aims to: (1) analyze how misperceptions regarding motor vehicle taxes affect taxpayer decision-making related to PKB compliance in Makassar City, South Sulawesi; and (2) examine how misunderstandings of PKB regulations shape attitudinal and behavioral responses among taxpayers. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with SAMSAT officers in Gowa Regency and with taxpayers, including students from Muhammadiyah University of Makassar. Findings indicate that the general public does not exhibit substantial misperceptions about PKB, although potential misconceptions are more common among individuals aged 21–27 who pay taxes based on parental encouragement, and among women with limited experience in handling PKB obligations. Interviews with student respondents also revealed misperceptions driven by misinformation, misunderstanding of regulations, inadequate tax education, cognitive biases, framing, and demographic characteristics such as age, gender, and occupation. Overall, the study highlights that PKB-related misperceptions remain multidimensional and may influence taxpayer compliance behavior, underscoring the need for more targeted education and communication strategies.

Abstract

This study systematically examines the evolution, implementation, and challenges of digital economy taxation across various jurisdictions to provide a comprehensive understanding of global policy trends. Using the PRISMA (2020) framework, a systematic literature review was conducted covering 65 peer-reviewed articles, policy papers, and institutional reports published between 2020 and 2025. The review identifies three dominant themes: (1) the emergence of Digital Services Taxes (DST) and their fiscal implications, (2) the implementation of the OECD/G20 Two-Pillar Solution emphasizing global minimum taxation, and (3) administrative digitalization for tax compliance improvement. A cross-country comparison highlights significant disparities between developed and developing economies in policy adoption, compliance infrastructure, and digital readiness. While OECD member states prioritize the harmonization of tax bases and avoidance of double taxation, developing nations focus on revenue mobilization and fairness in taxing digital activities. The findings reveal that the global minimum tax enhances coordination among multinational enterprises but poses administrative challenges in low-income countries. The study contributes to international taxation discourse by integrating evidence from diverse contexts and proposing a conceptual model linking digital transformation, tax equity, and compliance efficiency. Future research should explore the long-term economic and behavioral impacts of digital tax regimes, especially in the context of global e-commerce and cross-border data monetization.
