This article examines the link between research and development (R&D) intensity and effective tax rates (ETRs) in India. We added a new perspective to the current base erosion and profit shifting debate in two ways. First, the study extends the literature on base erosion and profit shifting by providing empirical evidence on the link between R&D intensity and ETR in the context of emerging economy of India. Second, we investigate the R&D intensity and ETR relationship in a dynamic context using Bias Corrected Least Square Dummy Variable Model. We find that R&D intensity has a significant and negative effect on both average and current ETR. The results show that the effect of R&D intensity on current effective tax was more than average ETRs. We also find that larger firms are associated with lower ETR. A significant negative association was also observed between ETR and capital intensity. The dynamic analysis confirms the habit persistence in the ETR that current period ETR is highly dependent on its previous year ETR.

This study was conducted to determine empirical evidence of the influence of company characteristics and ownership structure on tax avoidance / tax avoidance in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) in 2013-2016. The samples used were 15 companies for 4 years so the total sample of 60 company data. Analysis of the data used is GLS (General Least Square) with the help of Eviews version 9. For independent variables, variable company characteristics are proxied on profitability (Return on Assets / ROA), leverage (Debt to Equity Ratio / DER), company size (Size) , capital intensity (Capital Intensity Ratio / CIR). The ownership structure variable is proxied to managerial ownership (OWNMANAG) and institutional ownership (OWNINS). As for the dependent variable tax avoidance is proxied at the effective tax rate (ETR / Effective Tax Rate). The results of this study are the influence of company characteristics which are proxied on ROA, DER, Size, CIR, only ROA which has a significant negative effect on tax avoidance. DER and Size have no significant negative effect, while and CIR have positive but not significant effect on tax avoidance. Effect of Proposed Ownership Structure on managerial ownership does not have a significant positive effect on tax avoidance and institutional ownership does not have a significant negative effect on tax avoidance

The article is devoted to the issues of the methodology of the analysis of the base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) for the development of managerial approaches to counteracting these destructive phenomena in Ukraine. Eleven types of data sources identified by the OECD that can be used for BEPS analysis are determined. It is shown that most sources of information for the purposes of analyzing the scale and effects of BEPS have significant limitations: their absence or limited representativeness in some countries; regulatory restrictions on access to data; lack of most financial data to reflect the activities of multinational corporations (MNCs). The indicators that testify to BEPS or dangerous phenomena of financial abuse, which are reflected in reporting, are analyzed, namely: 1) disconnect between financial and real economic activities; 2) high profit rates of low-taxed affiliates of top global MNCs; 3) high profit rates of MNC affiliates in lower-tax locations; 4) MNCs vs. "comparable" non-MNC effective tax rate differentials; 5) profit shifting through intangibles; 6) profit shifting through interest. It is proved that for Ukraine the calculation of a number of indicators can be complicated due to the delay in the publication of official data; lack of appropriate statistical reporting. In general, indicators show that they provide limited information about financial transactions and cannot reliably relate any changes and their reflection to BEPS. Therefore, the implementation of measures to combat BEPS should be based not only on the results of calculations of OECD indicators, but also on other empirical studies that provide reliable information on the development of income transfer between countries.

This study examines how spillovers affect a multinational company's choice of an intangible's location and the corresponding transfer price for using this intangible. Our model uses a company with a domestic division in a high-tax country and a foreign division in a low-tax country, where each division's activities generate spillovers on the other division's income. In contrast to previous studies, our analysis incorporates an intangible's optimal location when the company trades off tax minimization and efficient activities. By locating the intangible abroad, the company reduces its tax liability, whereas locating the intangible domestically yields more efficient domestic division activities. For a high spillover of the domestic division, the company locates the intangible domestically. Our model supports empirical evidence regarding intangibles' location that is interpreted as "home bias". Additionally, we show how variations in regulatory parameters-arm's length range and tax rate differential-affect the divisions' activities and the intangible's location.

Taxes are income for the state which are useful for financingstate activities and operations. Unfortunately, taxes are not profitable forcompanies. Taxes can decrease its profit. This situation triggers the companyto take action related to agency theory. This actions taken by managingtax financing so that it can be effective and efficient without violatingexisting regulations. That actions called tax avoidance. Tax avoidance takesadvantages of the grey area in the tax regulations so that the actions takenlegally. Tax avoidance in this study is used as the dependent variable bycalculating the cash effective tax rate (cash ETR). Independent variable inthis study are return on assets (ROA), leverage, and capital intensity. Theexistence of these variables are used to support the purpose of this study.The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of ROA, Leverageand Capital intensity on tax avoidance. The data used are from the financialreports and annual reports of mining sector companies listed in IndonesiaStock Exchange during the Jokowi - JK’s era.

Objective - This research examines the effect of company size, changes in out-cash flow, return on assets, conservatism, and profit levelling on earnings management. Methodology/Technique - The results of this research show that banking capital structure, capital intensity, intensity of inventory, and intensity of R & D have a significant impact on effective tax rates. Further, the results also show that, with respect to the non-banking sector, R & D expenditure contributes significantly to effective tax rates. Simultaneously, earnings management and effective tax rates, as well as other factors, also have an effect on book tax gap. Findings - This study shows that profit management has a significantly positive effect on book tax gap, and effective tax rates has a significant negative effects o book tax gap. In terms of the non-banking sector, earnings management and effective tax rate have no effect on book tax gap. Deferred tax expenses have a lower capability to detect earnings management than accrual, in both the banking and non-banking sector. Novelty - The study of management capabilities optimizes the role of book tax gap and effective tax rate for earning management. Both tax management and earnings management are closely related to behavior management in managing a company based on the agency theory. Furthermore, the study identifies a relationship between earnings management and book tax gap. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Book Tax Gap; Effective Tax Rate; Earnings Management; Accrual Total; Indonesia. JEL Classification: H26, H29.
