Pengaruh Manajemen Laba dan Ukuran Perusahaan pada Beban Pajak Tangguhan

Indonesian is one of the countries that rely on tax revenue as the main source of state income. The income tax-oriented accounting method of accounting recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets against future fiscal consequences caused by temporary differences and residual losses that have not been compensated. The temporary differences that lead to an increase in future tax amount will be recognized as deferred tax liabilities, therefore the company must recognize a deferred tax burden. The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence of the influence of earnings management and firm size on deferred tax expense.

Deferred tax expense can be measured by the total deferred tax expense per year divided by the total assets of the company per year.
