Objective – The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of corporate taxes on the flow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Nigeria between 1983 and 2017. Methodology/Technique – This study adopts an ex-post facto research design. Secondary data was sourced from the World Bank Development Indicator, the Central Bank of Nigeria database, and the Federal Inland Revenue database. The research data was analyzed using the Error Correction Model (ECM). Findings – The coefficient of determination (R2) shows that approximately 77% of systematic changes in FDI are attributed to the combined effect of all of the explanatory variables used in this study. Specifically, the study concludes that Company Income Tax, Value Added Tax, and Custom and Excise Duties have a significant but negative relationship with FDI. In contrast, Tertiary Education Tax has a positive association with FDI. Further, Exchange Rate has a negative but significant relationship with FDI, Inflation had an insignificant but positive association with FDI, and GDP growth Rate and Trade Openness demonstrate a positive and significant association with FDI. Novelty – The findings of this study are distinguishable from previous studies, as it uncovers new evidence that higher Education Tax Rates influences FDI and emerging evidence on the effect of non-tax variables on FDI inflow.

Using annual data on nineteen industrial countries for the period 1979–2005 and a large number of controls, this article is the first to empirically study the impact of corporate taxes on the unemployment rate. In contrast to previous empirical research on the labor demand, investment and growth effects of corporate taxation, which consistently finds adverse effects, the regression results suggest that higher corporate taxes may have a favorable impact, lowering the unemployment rate. The magnitude of the estimated effect is substantial. The results of this study are robust to both endogeneity and numerous variations in specification.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif yang bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh pengungkapan corporate social responsibility, kepemilikan institusional, dan profitabilitas terhadap agresivitas pajak. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah seluruh perseroan pertambangan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia tahun 2016—2020 dan sampel penelitian dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Analisis data penelitian menggunakan metode regresi linear berganda. Penelitian ini memberikan implikasi bahwa pada perusahaan pertambangan khususnya pada kurun waktu penelitan, aktivitas manajer terkait tanggung jawabnya terhadap lingkungan dan masyarakat tidak berorientasi pada pajak perusahaan, tetapi benar bermotifkan perhatian akan keberlanjutan operasional perusahaan (sustainability operation). Demikian pula pemilik yang berasal dari institusi melakukan pengawasan dan pengendalian manajer pada aspek strategis selain pajak perusahaan. Dari hasil riset ini terbukti pula bahwa profitabilitas perusahaan tidak menjadi hal yang dapat mendorong manajer melakukan aktivitas penghindaran pajak, terlebih pada saat masa pandemi sekarang ini banyak sekali insentif dan kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh Dirjen pajak untuk mendorong keberlangsungan ekonomi wajib pajak. ABSTRACTThis study is a quantitative study that aims to analyze the effect of the use of corporate social responsibility, institutional ownership, and profitability on tax aggressiveness. The population of this study were all mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2016-2020 and the research sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Analysis of research data using multiple linear regression method. This study shows that in mining companies, especially at the time of the study, activities related to environmental and community management are not related to corporate taxes, but are very beneficial for company operations. Likewise, owners who come from institutions that supervise and control managers in other strategic aspects besides corporate taxes. From the results of this study, it is also proven that company profitability is not something that can encourage managers to carry out tax avoidance activities, especially during the current pandemic, there are lots of incentives and policies issued by the Director General of Taxes to encourage the economic sustainability of taxpayers.
