This study explores the relationship between tax aggressiveness and foreign capital participation in Brazilian companies listed on the BM & F BOVESPA from 2010 to 2015, using the concept of tax aggressiveness as a reduction of taxable income through tax management and planning (Chen et al., 2010). Observing that previous studies show a significant relationship between tax aggressiveness and ownership structures, this research seeks to understand whether this relationship is significant if there is foreign capital participation in the company. The sample was composed of Brazilian companies listed on the BM&F BOVESPA. Two metrics of tax aggressiveness were used to investigate this relationship: effective tax rate (ETR) and book-tax difference (BTD). The use of these metrics was inspired in a review on tax research by Hanlon and Heitzman (2010), who concluded that ETR and BTD could capture the reduction of taxable income through tax planning. The results showed no significant relationship between foreign capital participation and tax aggressiveness, demonstrating that the origin of equity capital is not a factor of tax aggressiveness.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between tax aggressiveness and the risks associated with the variation of returns in Brazilian companies’ stock. Particularly, the research regards the systematic and idiosyncratic risks. The sample was formed by companies that composed the IBOVESPA index in the period between 2011 to 2016. The measurements of tax aggressiveness were the effective tax rate and the temporary book-tax differences. The results showed a significant relationship between tax aggressiveness and risk, concluding that the higher the tax aggressiveness, the lower the beta, and the higher the idiosyncratic risk. This study is essential because it maps the effect of tax aggressiveness on the financial risks related to Brazilian companies’ shares, as well as being useful to investors, portfolio, and business managers.

A relação dos indicadores de retorno financeiro das empresas do Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão-B3, com o gerenciamento da alíquota efetiva de tributos sobre o lucro, influenciou a pesquisa. Para isso, identificou-se a relação dos indicadores financeiros de retorno sobre o patrimônio-ROE e o retorno sobre o capital investido- ROIC com a alíquota efetiva dos tributos sobre o lucro. A pesquisa possui característica explicativa e utilizou-se de regressão com dados em painel para analisar os resultados. Como resultado, o ROIC demonstrou que possivelmente as empresas mais rentáveis possuem maiores alíquotas efetivas dos tributos. O ROE apresentou que, possivelmente, o investimento da organização na remuneração por desempenho dos diretores, os leva a investirem mais recursos no gerenciamento tributário, gerando um aumento do retorno para os acionistas. A alavancagem financeira indica que no Brasil uma estrutura alavancada, pode contribuir para uma maior carga fiscal, levando as empresas a aumentarem as participações de capitais de terceiros, neutralizando o efeito da alavancagem sobre a tributação. O tamanho da empresa pode indicar que quanto maior o tamanho da empresa menor o imposto sobre o lucro da empresa. Como resultado para a taxa de imposto efetiva identificou-se que as empresas utilizam os benefícios da redução da alíquota efetiva dos tributos sobre o lucro, pois o teste não paramétrico de sinais demonstrou que em 80% das observações, as alíquotas efetivas dos tributos das empresas analisadas são menores que a alíquota nominal de 34%, logo as empresas utilizam os efeitos do gerenciamento tributário. Palavras-chave: Indicadores de retorno financeiro das empresas. Gerenciamento tributário. Alíquota efetiva de tributos sobre o lucro. Effective tax rate on profit in Brazil of B3 companies: a study of the relationship of financial return indicators Abstract The list of financial return indicators for companies in Brazil, Bag, Counter-B3, with the management of the effective tax rate on profit, influenced the research. For this, the relationship between the financial indicators of return on equity-ROE and the return on invested capital-ROIC was identified with the effective rate of taxes on profit. The research has an explanatory characteristic and regression with panel data was used to analyze the results. As a result, ROIC has shown that possibly the most profitable companies have higher effective tax rates. The ROE showed that possibly the organization’s investment in the payment per directors performance leads them to invest more resources in the tax management, generating an increase to the shareholders’ return. Financial leverage indicates that in Brazil a leveraged structure can contribute to a greater tax burden, leading companies to increase the holdings of third-party capital, neutralizing the effect of leverage on taxation. The size of the company may indicate that the larger the company size, the smaller the company's profit tax.  As a result to the effective tax rate, was identified that the enterprises they use the benefits of reducing the effective tax rate on profit, since the non- parametric signal test demonstrated that in 80% of the observations, the effective rate of the analyzed companies are lower than the nominal rate of 34%, soon the companies to use the effects of tax management. Keywords: Indicators of financial return of companies. Tax management. Effective tax rate income.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship of using derivative financial instruments, tax aggressiveness and firm market value. Design/methodology/approach – This paper develops analytical models and designs an empirical study. Findings – Using data from large Canadian public companies, this paper finds that a firm’s realized losses or unrealized gains from using derivatives are negatively associated with its effective tax rate, and a firm’s realized losses or unrealized gains from using derivatives are positively associated with its market value. Research limitations/implications – This study simplifies the analytical model by separating the firm’s intrinsic market value from the tax-timing option value. In a more general framework, the tax-timing option value could be subsumed in the firm’s market value, and the firm’s market value would be determined endogenously. Originality/value – This study develops a framework to show how firms exploit the tax-timing option by using derivatives. It is the first study to conclude that a motive for firms to use derivatives is to exploit the tax-timing option.

<p class="Pa7">The main goal of this investigation is to understand the relationship between the nominal rate and the effective tax rate and to evaluate if the differences between them depend on the value of the nominal rate. Based on a sample of 1,530 companies from 5 countries members of the European Union (Denmark, Slovenia, Finland, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom) there’s evidence that the effective tax rate is positively related to the nominal rate. The effective tax rate was calculated through the ratio between the value of the tax paid over the result before tax. When the nominal tax rate increases, the effective rate increases equally but with a slower growth. This relationship is softened if we take into account the value of the nominal tax rate, which shows that companies have the ability to manage the results in order to increase savings in tax.</p>

The pandemic of Covid-19 had attacked and contribute to the Indonesia’ economics negatively. State tax revenues could not be achieved given the restrictions on activities that were intensified to prevent the spread of virus. Incentives issued by the government are one of the factors causing the decline in state revenues, one of which is in the form of lowering corporate tax rates. The effective tax rate used in measuring corporate tax management is tested with related-parties transaction, profitability, leverage, and ownership structure variables. The effect of this variable is then compared in 2019 and 2020 to observe whether there is a difference before and during the pandemic. The research was conducted on health sector companiesas a sector that was positively affected by the pandemic. The results of the study show that leverage has an effect on the effective tax rate (ETR) in 2020 while ownership structure has an effect on the ETR in 2019. The effective tax rate of health sector companies, which allegedly decreased due to incentives from the government, has actually increased during the pandemic.
