Abstract

This study looks at how tax avoidance in real estate and property firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is impacted by profitability and good corporate governance (GCG) from 2020 to 2023. Secondary data from yearly financial reports is used in the study. 92 observations from 23 companies were obtained using a purposive sample strategy. The data was subjected to multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS 27 software. The findings indicate that tax avoidance  is significantly impacted negatively by profitability, suggesting that greater profitability is linked to a lower likelihood of tax avoidance. In contrast, the audit committee used as a GCG  indicators has a considerable positive association with tax avoidance. Meanwhile, the other two GCG indicators, institutional ownership and the proportion of independent commissioners, did not significantly affect on tax avoidance. These data suggest that not all aspects of GCG are effective in reducing tax avoidance. As a result, each governance mechanism's supervision functions must be strengthened in order to effectively deter tax avoidance  in the property and real estate sectors.Penelitian ini mengkaji pengaruh profitabilitas dan tata kelola perusahaan (GCG) terhadap penghindaran pajak pada perusahaan properti dan real estate yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia tahun 2020 hingga 2023. Data sekunder berupa laporan keuangan tahunan digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Sebanyak 92 observasi dari 23 perusahaan diperoleh dengan menggunakan strategi purposive sample. Data tersebut dianalisis menggunakan regresi linier berganda menggunakan perangkat lunak SPSS 27. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa profitabilitas berpengaruh negatif terhadap penghindaran pajak. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin besar profitabilitas maka semakin kecil kemungkinan terjadinya penghindaran pajak. Sebaliknya, komite audit yang digunakan sebagai indikator GCG memiliki pengaruh positif dengan penghindaran pajak. Sementara itu, dua indikator GCG lainnya, yaitu kepemilikan institusional dan proporsi komisaris independen tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penghindaran pajak. Data tersebut menunjukkan bahwa tidak semua aspek GCG efektif dalam menekan penghindaran pajak. Oleh karena itu, fungsi pengawasan pada masing-masing mekanisme tata kelola harus diperkuat agar dapat secara efektif mencegah terjadinya penghindaran pajak di sektor properti dan real estate.
