The population was 7 years with 45 companies used as samples, so the total sample used was 315 samples. This quantitative research uses multiple regression analysis. The data analysis used in this research is E-views 12. The results of the study found that executive risk preferences and capital intensity have an effect on tax avoidance, while institutional ownership has no effect on tax avoidance. Political connections, which are a moderating variable, can only strengthen the influence of capital intensity on tax avoidance, whereas the variables of institutional ownership and executive risk preferences on tax avoidance cannot be moderated by political connections.
