ABSTRACT
Taxes are one of the largest sources of revenue for the country. But for companies, taxes are an expense that can reduce profits. Based on agency theory, a conflict of interest between the government and the taxpayer is called a conflict of interest that triggers the emergence of tax avoidance practices. Tax avoidance is a strategy to minimize the tax burden that is done legally and does not violate tax regulations.
This study aims to provide empirical evidence about the effect of institutional ownership, profitability, leverage, and company size on tax avoidance in manufacturing companies in the consumer goods industry sector which are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) in 2014-2018. The sampling method used in this study was a purposive sampling method with a sample of 22 companies during the observation period of 5 years in a row so that the total sample was 110. Hypothesis testing was performed using the multiple linear regression method with SPSS 21 software.
The results of this study prove that institutional ownership negatively influences tax avoidance. The results also prove profitability and leverage have a positive effect on tax avoidance, while company size has no effect on tax avoidance.
