MENILIK PENGHINDARAN PAJAK DI PERUSAHAAN PERTAMBANGAN

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.

IPOs and Corporate Taxes

How does going public affect firms’ tax obligations and tax planning? Using a panel of U.S. corporate tax return data from 1994 to 2018, we compare tax payments for firms that completed an IPO with those that filed for an IPO but later withdrew and remained private. We find that in the years immediately following IPO completion, firms have a higher probability of paying taxes and pay more U.S. tax. The effects occur regardless of tax status in the pre-IPO period and are not explained by statutory limitations imposed on the use of pre-IPO losses. Higher income reported for financial reporting purposes, as well as lower interest deductions attributable to debt repayment, contribute to the increased tax payments. These increases are partially offset by higher tax deductions for post-IPO investment and employment spending. Furthermore, the IPO is associated with increased tax planning through foreign tax haven use. The evidence adds to the nascent literature examining corporate tax implications of the IPO decision.

A computable general equilibrium analysis of environmental tax reform in Japan with a forward-looking dynamic model

The Japanese government plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. However, it is not yet clear which policy measures the government will adopt to achieve this goal. In this regard, environmental tax reform, which is the combination of carbon regulation and the reduction of existing distortionary taxes, has attracted much attention. This paper examines the effects of an environmental tax reform in Japan. Using a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, we analyze the quantitative impacts of an environmental tax reform and clarify which types of environmental tax reform are the most desirable. In the simulation, we introduce a carbon tax and consider the following four scenarios for the use of the carbon tax revenue: (1) a lump-sum rebate to the household, (2) a cut in income taxes, (3) a cut in corporate taxes and (4) a cut in consumption taxes. The first scenario is a pure carbon tax, and the other three scenarios are types of environmental tax reform. Our CGE simulation shows that (1) environmental tax reform tends to generate more desirable impacts than the pure carbon tax and that (2) the strong double dividend is obtained in some cases. In particular, we show that a cut in corporate taxes leads to the most desirable policy in terms of GDP and national income.

Taxes, R&D Expenditures, and Open Innovation: Analyzing OECD Countries

This paper aims to measure the effect of tax contributions in promoting innovation while highlighting the role of corporate taxes in governance quality in nations within and outside the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The study applied the generalized method of moments (GMM) framework and found that good governance invariably increases the Innovation Index. Moreover, research and development expenditures revealed a positive association with the Innovation Index. However, corporate taxes and taxes paid by the business sector harm the Innovation Index. Following the investigation, we recommended that policymakers should plan well to balance the costs of innovation and tax incentives, to avoid stimulating unproductive innovations or affecting operating budgets.
