Reviewer 3 Report

The paper presents an interesting topic, the one of investigation of the relationship between tax avoidance, management ability, and firm value. Three hypotheses are proposed to meet the objective of the paper, the data being gathered from the official website of the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2014-2020.

The paper is well-written, however, there are some misspelling or style errors that should be corrected in order to improve the overall quality of the paper presentation.

-        The sentence does not end (Line 572);

-        Ending points missing (Line 572, 579);

-        The equations should be numbered;

-        A note under Table 1, Table 7, Table 8 regarding the explanation of the variables used should be included, in order to make the reading of tables more appropriate, without recurring to previous tables and text;

-        A proof-reading of the paper by a native speaker is recommended (a reformulation of some sentences like: “we can conclude an inverse relationship between managerial ability and tax avoidance”
