Abstract

Tax avoidance is an effort taken to reduce tax liabilities and maximize after-tax income that is carried out legally and safely for taxpayers because it does not conflict with tax provisions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of transfer pricing, political connections, on tax avoidance with profitability as a moderating variable in multinational companies in the manufacturing sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2022. The data obtained in this study come from the annual reports of multinational companies in the manufacturing sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2022. The data analysis technique used in this study was purposive sampling and obtained 66 companies with a research period of 5 years, namely 2018-2022 so that 330 samples were obtained. The analysis method used in this research is multiple linear regression analysis and MRA. The results of this study indicate that the transfer pricing variable has a negative effect on tax avoidance but the transfer pricing variable has a positive effect on tax avoidance with moderating profitability, while political connections have no effect on tax avoidance even with moderating profitability.
