Data sourced from published 2016 – 2020 financial statements of 13 purposely selected firms from the industry were analysed with Random Effect Model, confirmed by Hausman test. Board size was proxy with number of board members while tax compliance was proxy with effective tax rate. Findings from the results of analysis revealed that board size has a significant positive relationship with tax compliance.
