Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of earnings smoothing and dividend policy on tax avoidance practices in manufacturing companies listed on the IDX for the 2016-2020 period. This study takes population and samples from financial reports and annual reports of manufacturing companies that contain financial transactions in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2016-2020 period. The results of this study indicate that earnings smoothing has a significant effect on tax avoidance in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2016-2020 period. Then, dividend policy has a significant effect on tax avoidance found in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2016-2020 period. Furthermore, profit smoothing and dividend policy together have a significant effect on tax avoidance practices.
