“…This is in accordance with the findings of (Andalenta & Ismawati, 2022), (Muniroh, 2022), (Bandoro & Ariyanto, 2020), (Ayu & Kartika, 2019), (Rifai & Atiningsih, 2019), (Andharini & Kanti, 2018), (Hidayat, 2018), (Putri & Putra, 2017) which explains that profitability has a direct effect on tax avoidance.
