Sector-Specific Strategies: How Consumer Goods Companies Navigate Tax Avoidance

Djatnicka, Erlina, Sulistyorini Wulandari, Dian, Dayanti, Iis
Abstract: This research aims to investigate the impact of transfer pricing, thin capitalization, and capital intensity on tax avoidance within the consumer goods industry. The study focuses on how these key financial strategies are… e employed by companies to reduce their tax liabilities while navigating complex global tax environments. Transfer pricing allows companies to shift profits across jurisdictions by manipulating the prices of intra-company transactions, while thin capitalization—the practice of using excessive debt relative to equity—enables companies to maximize interest deductions and lower taxable income. Capital intensity, defined as the ratio of capital assets to sales, also plays a crucial role, as firms with significant physical assets can benefit from tax deductions through depreciation, further reducing taxable obligations. The sample used in this study was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 23 companies that have complete financial reports and meet the specified criteria. By analyzing financial data and company reports, this research provides insights into sector-specific tax strategies and discusses the ethical implications, sustainability, and regulatory challenges associated with these practices in the consumer goods sector. The analysis shows that transfer pricing negatively and significantly affects tax avoidance, indicating that more aggressive transfer pricing practices may actually reduce tax avoidance activities. In contrast, thin capitalization and capital intensity do not show a significant impact on tax avoidance.

Malik, Amran
Abstract: PT Berau Coal as one of the National Coal mining companies operating in Berau Regency, East Kalimantan, is always trying to increase its coal production. PT Berau Coal's production target in 2014 is 23 million tons (Source:&#8230; ce: PT Berau Coal's 5-year long-term plan document). This increase in production can basically be achieved in 2 (two) ways, namely: 1. This is done by adding heavy equipment such as loading equipment and production transportation equipment so that production capacity becomes greater. 2. This is done by maximizing the productivity of mechanical equipment, namely existing loading and transport equipment. Increasing production capacity by maximizing the productivity of existing mechanical equipment is a relatively cheaper way than adding heavy equipment. Efficiency is the key to increasing the productivity of existing mechanical tools. Based on considerations of the company's need to increase production, one of which is by maximizing the productivity of existing mechanical equipment, this research aims to conduct a study on the productivity of PC1250 loading equipment and HD465 transportation equipment carried out at the Agaru Pit mining block 44-50 at the Samabarata site. PT Berau Coal so that the results of this study can determine the productivity of each mechanical device. The research method is carried out using direct computation, tabular method, and comparison between theoretical and actual and using the theory of calculation equations. Where the supporting data for analysis is in the form of field data as primary data and literature data as supporting (secondary) data. The results of this research study are the productivity of PC1250 loading equipment and HD465 transportation equipment where there are deviation values between actual and theoretical, both positive deviation (the optimum positive deviation between actual and theoretical is 97.3%) and negative deviation (optimum negative deviation between actual and theoretical is -11.8 %).

Dwi Dewianawati, Erry Setiawan, Dian Indrianto, Buyung Cahya Perdana, Harjo Lukito, Ratna Agustina
Abstract: Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in the national economy; however, tax compliance, particularly related to Income Tax Article 21, remains relatively low. The main challenges faced by MSME&#8230; E actors include limited tax literacy, complexity in tax calculations, and insufficient understanding of recent regulatory changes. To address these issues, the government introduced the Average Effective Rate (TER) scheme as an administrative simplification for calculating Income Tax Article 21. Nevertheless, the implementation of this scheme has not been fully understood by MSMEs at the village level. This study aims to conduct socialization and training on Income Tax Article 21 based on the TER scheme for MSMEs in Watesprojo Village and to evaluate its effectiveness in improving tax understanding and technical capability. The research method involved initial observation, regulatory socialization, practical tax calculation training, and participant evaluation. The results indicate a noticeable improvement in MSME actors’ understanding of the legal basis of Income Tax Article 21, the changes in the calculation scheme, and the practical application of the TER mechanism without disrupting business activities. Overall, the socialization and training activities proved effective in enhancing tax literacy and supporting sustainable tax compliance among MSMEs.

Understand Relative Pronoun: Important Connectors In English Sentences

Faiz Al Abid, Balqis Anis Wardah, Ok Silvia Hervina Damanik, Nabila Aulia Putri, Yani Lubis
Abstract: This research comprehensively examines the use of relative pronouns in English and their implications for language learning, both in academic and practical contexts. Relative pronouns such as who, whom, which, that, and&#8230; whose are essential grammatical elements in complex sentence construction and play a vital role in producing cohesive writing. Through a methodological approach combining descriptive analysis, literature studies, and field research involving 100 English major students, this research investigates various aspects of relative pronoun usage, including grammatical functions, contexts of use, common error patterns, and effective learning strategies. Research findings reveal that 75% of learner difficulties are related to misunderstandings in distinguishing between the use of who and whom, as well as confusion in the placement of that and which. Further analysis shows a significant correlation between mastery of relative pronouns and academic writing ability. This research also identifies and proposes a series of innovative learning strategies, including contextual approaches and corpus-based learning, which have proven effective in improving the understanding and use of relative pronouns. These findings provide substantial contributions to the development of English language learning materials and offer practical implications for teachers in designing more effective teaching strategies for the topic of relative pronouns.
