Abstract

Tax avoidance has emerged as a critical concern due to its potential impact on state revenue. This research investigates the influence of profitability, leverage, liquidity, capital intensity, and corporate social responsibility on tax avoidance. The study utilizes financial reports from manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Using the purposive sampling method, where the sample was selected based on several predetermined criteria, the research chose 63 company samples from a total population of 207. The study period spanned from 2021 to 2024. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression, processed with IBM SPSS 25 software. The findings show that leverage significantly affects tax avoidance, where high debt produces interest rates that reduce tax burdens. Liquidity has a significant influence, as high liquidity increases tax avoidance through the flexibility of assets. In contrast, profitability, capital intensity, and corporate social responsibility do not have a significant effect on tax avoidance. The company manages strategic liquidity and leverage, prioritizes fiscal compliance, and strengthens CSR for long-term reputation, not just for tax purposes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the transfer pricing practices by PT. XX in efforts to avoid tax payments in Indonesia and to identify the methods used to reduce tax burdens through profit shifting. The approach used is a qualitative method with a case study on PT. XX, supported by a review of literature and tax regulations, including the Minister of Finance Regulation No. 22/PMK.03/2020. Data were obtained from interviews with PT—XX employees, as well as an analysis of two contracts and relevant types of internal transactions. The results show that PT. XX's transfer pricing practices include strategies such as profit shifting, charging unreasonably high costs, and utilizing jurisdictions with lower tax rates. Regulatory gaps, the complexity of cross-border transactions, and weak supervision are factors driving these practices. Case studies of other companies, such as PT Adaro Energy Tbk, PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia, and PT Toba Pulp Lestari, confirm the significant impact of these practices on the country's tax revenue. The study recommends strengthening regulations, enhancing the capacity of tax supervisory authorities, and harmonizing international standards related to transfer pricing. Additionally, companies are advised to implement Good Corporate Governance principles, and the government should improve its monitoring systems for affiliate transactions to reduce the risk of tax avoidance, particularly for specific products or services of PT. XX makes comparisons with other companies difficult, underscoring the need for further research on this issue.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of leverage and independent commissioners on tax avoidance with firm size as a moderating variable in 42 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2020–2024. A quantitative approach was employed using multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA). The results show that leverage has a significant positive effect on tax avoidance (β = 11.038, p < 0.001), while independent commissioners have a negative but insignificant effect (β = –2.990, p = 0.231). Firm size strengthens the leverage–tax avoidance relationship and weakens the independent commissioners-tax avoidance relationship, although both effects are statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). The regression model explains 35.6% of the variation in tax avoidance (Adjusted R² = 0.356, F = 8.570, p < 0.001). These findings contribute to agency theory and provide practical implications for policymakers and corporate managers in strengthening governance and tax compliance in Indonesia.

Abstract

The tax system in Indonesia continues to evolve to enhance taxpayer compliance. The government strives to provide various more effective policies and services, one of which is through the Samsat Drive Thru innovation. This study focuses on factors that influence tax awareness and examines the impact of the Samsat Drive Thru service on the level of compliance of motor vehicle taxpayers at the UPTB Samsat Palembang 1. Sampling was conducted using the Slovin method to obtain 99 respondents, while the research approach used was quantitative. The collected data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The results of the study indicate that tax awareness has a significant influence on increasing motor vehicle taxpayer compliance. Taxpayers with a high level of awareness tend to be more compliant in fulfilling their obligations on time. Additionally, the implementation of the Samsat Drive Thru service has been proven to increase the efficiency of tax payments by streamlining the service process and standardizing administrative procedures. However, the effectiveness of this service is still influenced by several other factors, including the application of tax sanctions, socialization policies, and the ease of accessing the service. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for the government in designing more effective tax policies. More inclusive service innovations and improved tax education are needed to maximize regional tax revenue. Furthermore, strengthening infrastructure and leveraging technology are crucial aspects of building a more modern and efficient tax system.

Abstract

This study examines the implications of carbon tax policies on the automotive industry, aiming to provide insights into environmental, economic, and social aspects. Employing a qualitative research approach, a comprehensive literature review synthesizes existing studies on carbon taxation and its relevance to the automotive sector. The research design involves systematically identifying and analyzing scholarly articles, policy reports, and industry publications. Thematic analysis is conducted to extract key findings regarding the effectiveness of carbon tax policies, their impact on emissions reduction, economic incentives for innovation, and distributional considerations. The findings indicate that carbon taxes serve as effective market-based mechanisms for internalizing carbon emissions' external costs, driving emissions reductions, stimulating technological innovation, and promoting sustainable mobility transitions. However, the regressive nature of carbon taxes raises concerns about their distributional impacts, necessitating targeted interventions to mitigate disparities and promote social equity. Overall, this study underscores the importance of designing and implementing carbon tax policies that balance environmental imperatives with social considerations to achieve sustainable and equitable outcomes.

Abstract

This qualitative research investigates the nexus between tax reform and gender equality in the workforce, aiming to provide insights into the impact of tax policies on labor market dynamics and gender disparities. Employing a systematic literature review methodology, diverse scholarly sources from economics, sociology, gender studies, and public policy are analyzed to discern patterns, themes, and relationships within the data. The study examines the differential effects of tax reforms on men and women, highlighting disparities in labor force participation, earnings distribution, and economic empowerment. Findings suggest that tax policies intersect with broader socio-economic inequalities, magnifying disparities experienced by marginalized groups, particularly women of color and immigrant women. However, the research also identifies opportunities for promoting gender equality through targeted tax incentives, progressive taxation schemes, and gender-responsive public finance measures. The study underscores the importance of adopting intersectional approaches to tax reform and integrating gender perspectives into policy design, implementation, and evaluation processes to foster greater inclusivity and equity within tax systems.
