The sample used in this study were manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2021 with a purposive sampling method, resulting in 58 companies with 174 data. The data analysis method in this study used multiple regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that the proportion of independent commissioners, audit committees, audit quality, profitability, company size, sales growth, and institutional ownership do not affect tax avoidance. At the same time, leverage has a negative effect on tax avoidance.
