Abstract: This study investigates the impact of governance factors on tax avoidance, such as foreign ownership, executive incentives, corporate social responsibility, and audit quality. Between 2015 and 2020, the study examined data from conventional banks and non-bank institutions listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, with 69 banks and financial entities matching the purposive selection criteria serving as samples using EViews. The results of the study showed that executive incentives had a positive impact on tax avoidance, while foreign ownership had no effect. Corporate social responsibility had a negative impact, and audit quality had a negative impact on tax avoidance. The research discussion highlighted specific tax loopholes and strategies businesses and individuals use to avoid paying taxes and provided insights for policymakers on addressing this issue.
