Apakah Corporate Social Responsibility Mempengaruhi Hubungan Penghindaran Pajak Terhadap Nilai Perusahaan [Does Corporate Social Responsibility Affect the Relationship of Tax Avoidance on Corporate Values?]

Abstract

This study aims to test a conceptual framework to predict whether CSR can partially moderate the influence of tax avoidance on the value of the company. The sample in this study is a publicly listed company which published annual sustainability reports for the 2013-2016 period. Data were analyzed using multiple regression through SPSS. The results of this study prove that a high ETR values causes a high firm value. Companies that tend not to avoid tax get a positive response from investors. CSR in this study failed to moderate the effect of tax avoidance on firm value. This study explains that corporate CSR cannot be used for tax avoidance purposes in order to increase company value. This study supports the theory of legitimacy which explains that companies must conduct their business responsibly.
