Tax avoidance variables, sustainability reports, corporate governance practices and leverage are thought to influence firm value. Samples were selected based on certain criteria. Therefore, data obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange as many as forty companies for six years (2014 to 2019). The results reveal that tax avoidance, sustainability reporting, corporate governance practices affects firm value in a negative direction. Meanwhile, leverage affects firm value in a positive direction. The effect of the sustainability report on firm value is proven not to be strengthened by the leverage variable as a moderating variable, but it does strengthen the effect of tax avoidance and corporate governance on firm value..
