/in /by

This study explores the impact of CSR, leverage, profitability, and independent commissioners on tax aggressiveness in 45 food and beverage companies on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2017. The analysis, using multiple linear regression in SPSS, revealed that CSR positively influence tax aggressiveness, while independent commissioners have a negative influence. However, neither profitability nor leverage significantly influences tax aggressiveness. We conducted a sensitivity analysis using different proxy variable for dependent variable and found that CSR and independent commissioner remain significant in both the ETR and BTD models for tax aggressiveness. However, the significance of profitability and leverage differed between the two models. In the ETR model, neither profitability nor leverage was significant. In contrast, in the BTD model, profitability was significant, but leverage was not. Our findings reinforce the importance of CSR, profitability, leverage, and independent commissioners in explaining tax aggressiveness. The study provides insight into the need for regulators to reduce tax aggressiveness by companies.
