Abstract

This study examines the effect of sales growth, capital intensity, and financial distress on tax aggressiveness in infrastructure, property, and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2024. This quantitative research utilizes secondary data and purposive sampling, resulting in 198 observations from 33 companies. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed using SPSS 25. The findings reveal that sales growth has a negative and significant effect on tax aggressiveness, indicating that higher sales growth reduces tax aggressiveness. Financial distress also shows a negative and significant effect, meaning that companies experiencing financial difficulties tend to be less tax-aggressive. Conversely, capital intensity does not have a significant effect on tax aggressiveness. The coefficient of determination (R-squared) is 0.153, indicating that the three independent variables explain 15.3% of the variation in tax aggressiveness, while the remaining 84.7% is explained by other factors outside the model. These results contribute to understanding corporate tax behavior in Indonesia's infrastructure and property sectors
