This study analyzes the impact of secondary tax liability borne by stockholders, an exception to the principle of limited liability, on corporate investment. The paper constructs a model of a firm to examine the effect of this secondary tax liability, finding that the violation of limited liability increases firms' expected bankruptcy costs, thereby reducing investments. By means of an empirical analysis, the paper examines whether firms with the largest shareholder stake exceeding 50%, the condition under which secondary tax liability is incurred, decrease their investments. The results show that firm investment is highly concentrated in observations of cases in which the largest shareholder stake does not exceed 50%. Investments decrease sharply in cases where the largest shareholder stake exceeds 50%. The results here provide implications pertaining to how exceptions of the limited liability principle, existing only in Korea, affect corporate investments.

This study examines the impact of corporate tax, a fiscal measure along with trade liberalization and research and development on total factor productivity for a panel of 153 industrial firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange over the period 1997-2017. For empirical analysis, we employ the system generalized method of moment estimator. In the first step, we estimate industrial production function and the results reveal that raw material, industrial labour force and energy play vital role in enhancing industrial production. Whereas, industrial capital exerts negative impact on industrial output. We also measured total factor productivity using the production elasticities. In the second step, we examine the impact of corporate tax, trade liberalization and research and development on total factor productivity. The results indicate that higher level of corporate tax exerts negative impact on total factor productivity. The findings reveal that higher corporate taxation discourages industrial firms to undertake research and development thereby exerting adverse impact on total factor productivity of firms. The impact of trade liberalization proxied by average tariff is positive while customs duty and sales tax negatively impact firm-level total factor productivity. These findings provide useful insights for managers, investors and policy makers in Pakistan.

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between R&D tax support policy and firm innovation activity using data on firms engaged in 12 national strategic technology sectors. Design/methodology/approach - This study collected survey data from 664 companies engaged in national strategic technologies. The data were then analysed using the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) analysis. Findings - First, corporate R&D tax support had a statistically significant positive (+) relationship with firm innovation performance. Second, there was a statistically significant positive (+) relationship with incremental innovation, but there was no statistical significance with radical innovation. Third, there was a statistically significant positive (+) relationship with the firm's first innovation, but there was no statistical significance with the world's first innovation. Fourth, there was a statistically significant positive (+) relationship with the number of R&D projects of a firm. Finally, there was a statistically significant positive (+) relationship with a firm's open innovation. Research implications or Originality - First, in terms of policy effectiveness, the government needs to consider promoting R&D tax support policies in areas where R&D competition is fierce. For private companies engaged in the 12 national strategic technology fields, the R&D tax support policy is working in the direction of promoting corporate innovation activities, and this positive policy effect is likely to be effective in areas where R&D competition is fierce. Second, if the government wants to improve the quality of corporate innovation activities through R&D tax support policies, it needs to provide incentives higher than the current level.

기업의 세금을 절약 혹은 회피하는 행동은 과세관청에 의해 합법적 절세가 아닌 탈세로 판단될 경우 기업은 조세적 비용뿐 아니라 일련의 탈세관련 보도 기사로 인해 기업이미지 손상 및 주가하락과 같은 비조세적 비용까지 부담하게 된다. 이에 본 연구는 인터넷 뉴스 포털에 나타난 탈세 논란 키워드들의 출현빈도를 해당 사건의 심각성을 측정하는 요인으로 정하고 이러한 출현빈도가 기업가치에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 우리나라 유가증권시장에서 시가총액기준 상위 업체들을 대상으로 탈세 논란 키워드들을 활용하여 인터넷 뉴스 포털로부터 관련 기사를 크롤링하고, 기업별로 탈세 논란 키워드들의 출현빈도에 대한 시계열을 생성하여 출현빈도가 장부가 대비 시가총액에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 패널회귀분석과 충격반응분석을 통해 분석한 결과 출현빈도는 기업가치에 부정적인 영향을 미치며 12개월까지 점진적으로 효과가 감소되는 것으로 분석된다. 이 연구는 한국기업들을 대상으로 탈세 논란 사안이 기업가치에 영향을 미치는지를 실증적으로 분석한 연구로서, 경영자는 절세전략을 수립 시 이러한 영향력을 고려하는 것이 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.

Purpose - Using a sample of Korean multinational corporations, we examine whether the relationship between tax risk and the implied cost of capital discriminates between the environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) of highly rated firms. Design/methodology - Firms with high tax risks have an increased uncertainty of future cash flows. Therefore, as the volatility of future cash flow increases, information asymmetry and the required return increases. Highly rated ESG firms can reduce information asymmetry, thereby weakening the positive relationship between tax risk and cost of capital. We employ the standard deviation of the cash effective tax rate as proxy of tax risk. We utilize the ESG rating data of the Korea Corporate Governance Service (KCGS). We use a PEG model, MPEG model, and GM model to measure the implied cost of capital. Findings - We find a positive association between the implied cost of capital and tax risk. The positive relationship between tax risk and the implied cost of capital weakens in highly rated ESG firms. Highly rated ESG firms prefer a stable tax position to invest after-tax cash flows into sustainable management. Therefore, the negative effects of tax risk on cost of capital can be reduced. Originality/value - This study provides empirical evidence that ESG activities can mitigate the negative impact of tax risk on the cost of capital for Korean multinational corporations. In a business environment where ESG activities are more important, the empirical results that ESG activities can reduce the corporate risk of Korean FDI companies are expected to provide implications for the ESG activities of multinational corporations.

This study provides evidence on the determinants of variability in corporate ETRs(effective x rates). Specially, this study examined the association between ETRs, firm size, and variables proxying for firms' capital structure and asset mixes, while controlling for firms' profitability. Overall, results suggest that ETRs are associated with many firm-specific characteristics such as size, capital structure, asset mix, and profitability, and that some of these associations continued after Corporate Tax Law changes. In addition, although the results indicate that the association between ETRs and firm-specific characteristics have undergone a shift since tax law change, these firm-specific characteristics have continued to be associated with ETRs.

본 연구의 목적은 강건한 기업지배구조가 조세회피와 가중평균자본비용 간 관련성에 미치는 영향을 실증 분석하는 것이다. 표본은 2012년부터 2014년 3개년사이에 거래소 상장기업 중 금융업에 속하지 않은 12월 결산법인 716개를 대상으로 하였으며, 회귀분석을 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 기업지배구조는 가중평균자본비용에 음(-)의 유의적인 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대주주지분율과 외국인지분율이 높을수록 해당기업의 회계정보에 대하여 신뢰를 갖고 투자자들의 정보위험이 감소하며 요구수익률이 감소하여 기업은 낮은 자본비용을 부담하게 된다는 것을 의미한다. 둘째, 조세회피는 가중평균자본비용에 양(+)의 영향을 미친다는 결과가 나왔다. 조세회피를 할 것으로 예상되는 기업의 회계정보의 질을 낮게 평가할 것이다. 이에 따라 정보위험이 증가하고 그 영향으로 요구수익률이 높아지면 자본비용증가로 이어질 것으로 해석된다. 다음으로, 기업지배구조와 조세회피 간 상호작용은 가중평균자본비용에 음(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 기업지배구조는 조세회피와 가중 평균자본비용에 중요한 역할을 하며, 강건한 기업지배구조는 조세회피에 감소영향을 준다. 또한 자본시장에서 기업이 지불해야할 가중평균자본비용을 감소시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The paper examines the effects of tax incentives on corporate R&D expenditures. We regress tax incentives and financial variables on the increase or the level of corporate R&D expenditures. Tax incentive variables are the magnitude of R&D tax credit and the level of reserve for R&D, while financial variables are the amount or increase of R&D expenditures in prior years, profitability, cash flows and Tobin Q. Sample firms are selected among the listed companies which reported R&D expenditures in the financial statements from 1995 to 2000. The results indicate that increase and level of R&D expenditures is positively influenced by the magnitude of R&D tax credit and the level of reserve for R&D. The amount of R&D expenditures has positive relationship with prior one-year R&D expenditures, while the increase of R&D expenditures has negative relationship with prior year increase and recent three year's average of R&D expenditures. The evidence is consistent to the hypothesis and results of other studies, which suggest that tax incentives for R&D encourage the corporate R&D expenditures.

2000년대 중반 이후 우리나라에서도 기업의 자발적 공시활동의 중요성이 증대되면서 이와 관련한 기업의 활동이 활발해지고 있으며 관련 연구도 지속적으로 이뤄지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 추세를 반영하여 자발적 정보공시와 유효법인세율 간의 관련성을 조세회피 측면에서 실증적으로 검증하였다. 이를 위해 자발적 정보공시의 대리변수(proxy)는 기업설명회(IR, Investor Relation)를 활용하였으며, 유효법인세율(Effective Corporate Tax Rate)을 조세회피의 대리변수로 활용하였다. 연구표본은 한국채택국제회계기준(K-IFRS)가 의무적으로 도입된 2011년부터 2014년까지의 12월 결산 유가증권 상장기업 1,396개 기업연도이다. 실증분석 결과, 자발적 정보공시와 유효법인세율은 양(+)의 관련성을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 추가적인 유효법인세율 측정치를 활용한 분석에서도 동일하게 나타났다. 이는 외부에 자발적으로 정보를 공시하는 기업일수록 시장의 반응을 중시하여 상대적으로 우수한 회계정보를 산출함으로써 상대적으로 조세회피 수준이 낮은 (유효법인세율이 높은) 건전한 경영성과를 보고하는 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기업의 자발적 정보공시활동(IR)이 기업의 조세회피 수준에 미치는 긍정적인 영향을 대표적인 조세회피 대리변수인 유효법인세율을 통해 검증함으로써, 좀 더 높은 공시수준을 가진 기업들에 대한 좋은 신호(good signal)를 투자자들에게 제공할 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 이를 통해 본 연구가 건전한 자본시장의 발전에 도움이 되기를 기대한다.
