  Thin capitalization is an action of tax avoidance by having total debt more than total capital and that debt obtained from the same group of companies. This research aims to obtain the empirical evidence regarding the influence of multinationalism, tax haven utilization, tax uncertainty, firm size, and audit committee size against thin capitalization. The population in this research is multinational companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange in the year of 2014-2016. The sampling technique was purposive sampling and got an analysis unit of 40 companies. Ordinal Least Square (OLS) with SPSS is used as the analytical technique. The results show that multinationalism, tax haven utilization, tax uncertainty, and firm size have a significant positive effect on thin capitalization. The results also prove that the size of audit committees has a significantly negative effect on thin capitalization. This research concludes that thin capitalization is influenced by multinationalism, tax haven utilization, tax uncertainty, firm size, and audit committee size. Suggestions related to this research are for further research to ensure the measurement of tax uncertainty more objectively and to extend sampling time. Keywords: thin capitalization, multinationalism, tax haven, tax uncertainty

This study uses quantitative research design and data from the Finance Authority Service / OJK listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. By using purposive sampling in the observation period of 2013-2016, it has obtained 92 observations. The Data has been analyzed by using ordinary least square regression model.

<p><em>This study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding business strategy, deferred tax expense and company characteristics such as audit committees, proportion of independent commissioners, institutional ownership, firm size on tax avoidance. These factors were retested because there were still inconsistent results from previous studies and there were variables that were rarely studied. This study uses a sample that includes 396 non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2016 to 2018 period, which is the period surrounding the tax amnesty policy in Indonesia. This study uses the cash effective tax rate (CETR) which is considered as a measure that can describe the amount of tax avoidance by the company. The research hypotheses were tested using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that business strategy have a positive effect on tax avoidance</em> <em>and firm size has a negative effect on tax avoidance, while deferred tax expense, audit committee, proportion of independent commissioners, institutional ownership have no effect on tax avoidance. The theoretical contribution of this study is to add to the development of previous literature related to the effect of business strategy, deferred tax expense and company characteristics such as audit committees, proportion of independent commissioners, institutional ownership, firm size on tax avoidance.</em></p>

Taxes are the largest state revenue, but tax companies are a burden that can reduce profits received by shareholders. Then in 2019 tax revenue from the mining sector in 2019 experienced a significant decline. Based on this, this study aims to see how the level of profitability of companies, institutional ownership and audit committees affect mining companies in avoiding taxes. By using 19 company samples for the 2016-2018 period, researchers found that profitability and audit committees could increase corporate tax avoidance. whereas institutional ownership has no influence on tax avoidance.

PurposeThis study examines the relationship between audit committees (ACs) and earnings management (EM) in the developing country context of Jordan. In particular, it investigates whether audit committee attributes, including their size, independence, expertise and meetings, are able to restrict discretionary accruals as a proxy for EM.Design/methodology/approachThe generalized least square (GLS) regression was used to study the association between audit committee attributes and discretionary accruals, as a proxy of EM, for a sample of industrial firms listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the period 2012–2020. Data were obtained from the firms' annual reports.FindingsThe regression results indicate that audit committee independence is the only audit committee attribute that seems to improve the effectiveness of ACs, in that it is significantly associated with less EM, while other audit committee attributes that were tested do not show statistically significant associations.Research limitations/implicationsIn emerging markets, like Jordan, ACs may not be an efficient monitoring mechanism; therefore, it can be argued that the prediction made by the agency theory about the role of ACs in mitigating opportunistic EM activities does not necessarily apply to all contexts.Practical implicationsA better understanding of audit committee effectiveness in developing countries could help regulators in these countries assess the impact of planned corporate governance (CG) reforms and to better monitor and enhance the performance of ACs.Social implicationsIn a setting characterized by closely held companies, high power distance and low demand for high-quality CG mechanisms, this study contributes to understanding how this business system operates, and how improving CG mechanisms could be successful in such cultures.Originality/valueThis study investigates the under-researched relationship between audit committee characteristics and EM in developing countries. In so doing, it aims to provide new insights into this relationship within the developing context case of Jordan, including if and how the institutional setting influences this relationship.

ABSTRACT We investigate the relation between tax avoidance and tax uncertainty, where tax uncertainty is the amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded over the same time period as the tax avoidance. On average, we find that tax avoiders, i.e., firms with relatively low cash effective tax rates, bear significantly greater tax uncertainty than firms that have higher cash effective tax rates. We find that the relation between tax avoidance and tax uncertainty is stronger for firms with frequent patent filings and tax haven subsidiaries, proxies for intangible-related transfer pricing strategies. The findings have implications for several puzzling results in the literature.

Agency theory is used to see the effect of corporate governance on tax avoidance. The data collection method uses secondary data from the company's financial statements and annual reports according to specific criteria. Data analysis was performed by descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results of the regression analysis prove that effectiveness of internal control and number of audit committees had a positive effect which means higher effectiveness of internal control and number of audit committees cause more tax avoidance, conversely independent commissioners and expertise of the board of commissioners had a negative effect which shows greater independent commissioners and expertise of the board of commissioners cause less tax avoidance. Another result claim that the expertise of the audit committee did not affect on tax avoidance. In contrast to previous studies, this study is more varied by combining several independent variables.

To control the amount of tax payments is through tax avoidance, known as tax avoidance which is part of tax planning. Therefore this study aims to determine the effect of financial distress, loss compensation, institutional ownership, managerial ownership, audit committee, audit quality, company size, and return on assets to tax avoidance actions. The companies used in this study are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) with a research period of 2016-2018. The number of research samples used were 162 data. The method of sampling used purposive sampling and this research used multiple regression analysis to test the hypothesis. This research shows that financial distress, tax loss carried forward, institutional ownership, managerial ownership, audit committee, audit quality, firm size, and return on asset have no influence on tax avoidance. This research shows that financial distress, tax loss carried forward, institutional ownership, managerial ownership, audit committee, audit quality, firm size, and return on asset have no influence on tax avoidance.
