This study is intended to understand and evaluate the impact of profitability, revenue growth, leverage, and company size regarding tax avoidance practices on food and beverage business entities listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020-2023 period. This study involved 45 business entities selected by utilizing the purposive sampling method. The research findings reveal that profitability, leverage, and company size partially contribute positively and significantly to tax avoidance.
