This study is replicated from Lanis and Richardson’s research (2013). This study uses 62 non-financial corporates that listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange and published Sustainability Report based on GRI 4 between 2013-2016 as samples. The statistical test uses a model of Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression. The results of this study find that tax aggressiveness has a positive and significant effect on CSR disclosure. Thus, tax aggressive corporations are likely to be more disclosing CSR. This evidence confirming legitimacy theory and stakeholder theory in the context of corporate tax aggressiveness.
