Tax is one of the largest revenues in the APBN, but when compared to the realization with the target of tax revenue, it is still not appropriate. In this thesis, the authors indicate that this occurs because there is resistance by taxpayers in the form of tax avoidance.

The results of this study indicate that profitability partially has a significant positive effect on tax avoidance, leverage partially has a significant positive effect on tax avoidance. Profitability and leverage simultaneously have an influence on tax avoidance.
