This study aims“to determine the effect of tax planning accompanied by other variables, namely leverage and firm size, on earnings management. The research method is a descriptive and quantitative study using statistical techniques of multiple linear regression analysis. The population are “non-manufacturing companies in the infrastructure sector listed on the Indo-nesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2014-2018. Sample selection using the purposive sam-pling technique was obtained from 19 firms. The sources of data in this research are second-ary data. The results show that tax planning and company size affect earnings management. Vice versa, the variable leverage and interest rates don’t affect earnings management. Simul-taneously, leverage, tax planning, and company size significantly influence earnings manage-ment. What needs to be considered, taxpayers undertake a practice to reduce or minimize the tax burden to be paid to the state, often slipping into fraud such as tax evasion
