Variable moderator. Determination of the sample using the purposive sampling technique obtained a sample of 8 companies with 40 observational data. The analysis technique and hypothesis testing were carried out by panel data regression analysis through Eviews-11. The results showed that tunneling incentive and firm size had a significant positive effect on tax avoidance. Risk management and leverage do not affect tax avoidance. Corporate social responsibility can only moderate the effect of tunneling incentives on tax avoidance and firm size on tax avoidance but cannot moderate the effect of risk management and leverage.
