Abstract

This study examines the effect of bankruptcy risk on tax avoidance and the moderating effect of the board of commissioners' effectiveness on the relationship between bankruptcy risk and tax avoidance. This study was conducted by taking sample from Indonesia, a developing country, due to the country's specific characteristics relating to risks. Data are collected from Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2014-2016; the period before the tax amnesty program was launched in Indonesia. The results of the study show that bankruptcy risk has a positive effect on tax avoidance. The study also found that the board of commissioners' effectiveness weakens the positive relationship between bankruptcy risk and tax avoidance. This study reveals the implications of the effect of bankruptcy risk and tax avoidance in Indonesia and the moderating effect of board of commissioners' effectiveness on the relationship between bankruptcy risk and tax avoidance. The results of the study show that bankruptcy risk has a positive effect on tax avoidance. The study also found that the board of commissioners' effectiveness weakens the positive relationship between bankruptcy risk and tax avoidance.
