Design/methodology/approach: The data are used from the financial reporting and annual report of the infrastructure sector of state-owned enterprises listed in IDX from 2016-2022. Research Findings: The results of this study indicates that capital intensity has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance. Meanwhile, return on assets and firm size has no significant effect on tax avoidance.
