Abstract: The purpose of this research was to analyse the impact of Machiavellianism and tax knowledge on the ethical perceptions of undergraduate students regarding tax avoidance and evasion. A quantitative research method was employed. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of 46 questions. The study population consisted of undergraduate students in West Java Province, Indonesia. A total of 144 samples were taken using a simple random sampling technique. Data were analysed using multiple regression analysis. The results of this research are as follows: (1) the majority of respondents have a high Machiavellianism score, low tax knowledge, and balance ethical perceptions on tax avoidance and evasion; (2) there is a significant impact of Machiavellianism on students' perceptions of tax avoidance, but tax knowledge does not significantly impact students' perceptions of tax avoidance.
