Abstract: Despite being a crucial source of funding for the government, tax revenue collection in Indonesia has yet to reach its ideal and satisfying level for the economy. Therefore, this study explores the impact of executive incentives, foreign ownership, and transfer pricing on tax avoidance. The conventional banks of Indonesia that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2015 and 2019 are the subject of this study. This study employed a purposive selection technique, with a final sample of 17 banks chosen after screening to ensure they met the requirements of having foreign ownership and not having suffered losses during the study year. The results of this study show that while CEO incentives harm tax avoidance, foreign ownership has a beneficial effect. Furthermore, tax avoidance is not significantly impacted by transfer pricing. The findings of this investigation open the door for accountable authorities in the economy.
