The results indicate that tax avoidance practices negatively affect stock Returns but positively affects Firm risks. And the results did not support the moderating role of ownership concentration and Audit Firm Size neither for tax avoidance and returns relationship nor tax avoidance and firm risks. The additional analysis reveals that both ownership concentration and Audit Firm Size are significant as control variables in both main relationships regression models, and It was found that the other control variables increased the explanatory Power of them. The sensitivity analysis results refers that changing the method of measuring tax avoidance affects the significance of the main relationships.
