Tax Avoidance In Manufacturing Companies: The Roles Of Independent Commissioners, CSR and Profitability

Keywords: Independent Commissioners, CSR, Profitability, Tax Avoidance

Abstract

Tax avoidance is a significant structural constraint on state revenue in Indonesia, particularly during the post-pandemic economic recovery period. This study seeks to examine the contribution of independent commissioners, CSR, and profitability on tax avoidance practices among manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange during the period from 2020 to 2024. Using an agency theory framework, this study examines how governance mechanisms and financial performance influence management behavior in minimizing tax liabilities through tax avoidance strategies. The research employed a quantitative methodology with a purposive sampling technique, yielding 379 observations following outlier exclusion, which were examined through multiple linear regression analysis utilizing SPSS 29. The results demonstrate that profitability exerts a statistically significant negative influence on tax avoidance, implying that companies with high profit typically engage in reduce tax avoidance practices. In contrast, independent commissioners and CSR did not significantly affect tax avoidance, suggesting that the supervisory function of independent commissioners may not function optimally and that corporate social responsibility does not directly correlate with tax avoidance practices.
