Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis dampak perubahan tarif pajak terhadap hubungan agresivitas pelaporan keuangan dan agresivitas pajak. Studi ini menggunakan pengukuran penghindaran pajak: Book-Tax Difference BTD , Abnormal Permanent Difference DTAX , Abnormal Book-Tax Difference BTD, dan Composite Measure of Tax Avoidance CMTA . Data diperoleh dari perusahaan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia BEI tahun 2007 - 2010.
Hasil penelitian belum dapat membuktikan bahwa agresivitas pelaporan keuangan sebelum perubahan tarif lebih kecil daripada sesudah perubahan dan agresivitas pajak sebelum perubahan tarif lebih besar daripada sesudah perubahan. Penelitian ini dapat membuktikan terdapat hubungan positif antara agresivitas pelaporan keuangan dan agresivitas pajak. Studi ini juga dapat membuktikan bahwa perubahan tarif pajak memperlemah pengaruh agresivitas pelaporan keuangan terhadap agresivitas pajak, namun hubungan sebaliknya tidak dapat dibuktikan.
