The sample selection method uses certain considerations (purposive sampling) to obtain a sampling unit that has the desired characteristics. The population of this study are mining companies (2016 - 2019) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. so that obtained 32 samples of mining companies. The analytical technique used in this research is Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Based on the results of calculations using PLSSEM software version 3.0, the results show that good corporate governance does not directly affect profitability and tax avoidance. The factor of corporate governance with a portion of institutional ownership cannot carry out its function properly in controlling the company's operations in increasing profitability, which actually encourages the management to avoid tax evasion. However, leverage has a direct effect on profitability and tax avoidance. And profitability as an intervening variable has a significant effect on tax avoidance.
