The Influence of Firm Size, Leverage, and Profitability on Tax Avoidance Among Mining Companies Listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange for Period 2022 – 2024
Abstract
This study aims to examine and empirically analyze the effect of firm size, leverage, and profitability on tax avoidance in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2022-2024 period. The sample selection method in this study used purposive sampling with several screening criteria, resulting in an initial sample of 120 observations. After detecting extreme data (outliers) to meet the normality assumption, a final sample of 91 observation data was obtained and tested using multiple linear regression analysis through the SPSS program. Tax avoidance in this study is overviewed using the Effective Tax Rate (ETR) ratio. The results showed that partially, firm size has no significant effect on tax avoidance. Meanwhile, leverage is proven to have a positive and significant effect on ETR, which indicates that an increase in the debt ratio is associated with a decrease in the company’s tax avoidance actions. Conversely, profitability has a negative and significant effect on ETR, which indicates that the higher the company’s ability to generate net income, the higher the level of tax avoidance actions. Simultaneously, firm size, leverage, and profitability have a significant effect on tax avoidance with an adjusted R square value of 14.8%, while the remaining 85.2% is explained by other variables outside this research model.
