Tax Avoidance is a form of tax resistance actively practised by taxpayers to legally reduce the tax burden without violating the law by using accounting methods and techniques that take advantage of weaknesses (grey areas) in tax
laws and regulations. Tax avoidance can occur because of the weakness of the tax collection system carried out by self-assessment. This research aims to analyze and examine the effect of Leverage, Profitability, Company Size, and
Political Connection on Tax Avoidance at consumer goods sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for 2016-2020.
