Proportion of Independent Commissioners has no positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, with a sig value of 0.293. Profitability has a negative and significant effect on tax avoidance, with a sig value of 0.015.

Company size does not strengthen the relationship between the proportion of Independent Commissioners and tax avoidance, the results of the interaction test show the value of sig. of 0.293.
