Determination of the sample selected using purposive sampling method with a total of 105 samples that meet the criteria. The results showed that tax aggressiveness has a significant negative effect on debt maturity, which means that the lower the CETR, so the higher the use of short-term debt. This can be seen in the results of the coefficient of determination (Adjusted R Square), which means that the variability of the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variable is 23.1%, while the remaining 76.9% is explained by other variables not included in the regression model.
