Based on this, the statistical sample of the research is 163 companies using the method of systematic data removal. Data analysis was done with the help of Eviews12 software.

Findings

But there is a positive and significant relationship between the uncertainty variable of the GDP rate and the uncertainty about the inflation rate with corporate tax avoidance. Also, the results show that financial restrictions did not have a significant effect on the relationship between the uncertainty of macroeconomic variables and tax avoidance.
