Abstract :
Iran's tax system has not been developed for various reasons, including the abundance of oil revenues at various times, in proportion to the country's economic capacity, and despite repeated emphasis in upstream documents on the need to cut government funding for oil revenues by increasing non-revenue share Oil, especially tax revenues, have not materialized so far. Therefore, the transformation of the tax system is essential in order to improve its situation in terms of its functions and in order to achieve the goals set out in the law of the Sixth Plan, especially its quantitative goals. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between cash profit and the independence of the board of directors on tax avoidance of the company within the framework of the country's tax system. The test method of the hypotheses of this research has been done by the econometric method of data panel and using the Ivyuz software. Research findings show that; Cash payments have a significant effect on tax avoidance. Also, the percentage of non-executive managers has a significant effect on tax avoidance. And the percentage of non-executive managers does not have a significant effect on the relationship between cash dividends and tax avoidance. The results of this study can be useful for the decisions of managers, investors, shareholders, creditors, tax authorities, tax law makers, auditing and other auditors, stock exchange and securities organizations, analysts and researchers.
