Abstract The objective of this study is to determine the influence of Business risk and Non Tax shield on the Capital structure. This study is based on panel data of20 companies from the cement sector of Pakistan. Panel regression is applied for statistical analysis. This study concludes that business risk and non-tax shield have an insignificant effect on capital structure (debt to equity ratio), whereas interest coverage has a positive effect on the debt to equity ratio. Policy Implication- As per this study the volatility and business risk involved in the cement sector may have some serious issues if the exports are continuously declining and at the same time raising leverage funds may hurt the performance of the company.
