Data processing in this study implemented EViews 13. The regression analysis implemented for this study was panel data regression with a Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) model. The study’s results reveal that thin capitalization affects tax avoidance, transfer pricing shows no effect on tax avoidance, company size moderates thin capitalization’s effect on tax avoidance, and company size does not moderate transfer pricing’s effect on tax avoidance.
