The results show that firm size and public ownership have significant  effect to the tax aggressiveness. These results prove that the larger of firm size and public ownership, the greater possibility of the company’s tax aggressiveness. On the other hand, corporate social responsibility, leverage, and foreign ownership does not have significant effect to tax aggressiveness.
