Abstract

The corporate tax burden is known to have a substantial impact on company management and the formation of national policy. One of the ways to measure the tax burden is by using effective tax rate (ETR). Prior research suggests that each regionā€˜s characteristics may influence ETR within the region to varying degrees. Thus, the purpose of this study is to assess the impact of business characteristics and economic factors on ETR in Southeast Asia. There are 852 Southeast Asia companies used as samples in this study. The data is taken from S&P Capital over five periods from 2015-2019 and examined using a random effect regression model by STATA. The findings indicate that business characteristics and economic factors have a limited impact on ETR. By highlighting the factors that affect ETR in Southeast Asia, companies and policymakers can make better tax plans and policies.

Abstract

Purposes: This study aims to provide empirical evidence on Carbon Emissions Disclosure (CED) in mediating the relationship between Managerial Ownership and Political Connections, namely Managerial Characteristics, towards Tax Aggressiveness in Indonesia.Methods: The analysis was conducted on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2019-2022, excluding the financial, technology, and property sectors.Findings: The results show that Managerial Ownership significantly influenced Tax Aggressiveness as the managers with ownership tend to be more aggressive in reducing taxes to increase profits. However, Political Connections do not affect substantially Tax Aggressiveness behavior. CED negatively impacted tax payments but did not moderate the relationship between Managerial Ownership or Political Connections toward Tax Aggressiveness.Novelty: The study uniquely observes how companies and managers respond to these nascent regulations, even before full implementation, and highlights the emerging role of carbon emissions disclosure as a new factor influencing corporate tax strategies, providing specific insights from the Indonesian setting. This research presents significant novelty by investigating the relationship between managerial characteristics (managerial ownership and political connections) and tax aggressiveness, specifically moderated by carbon emissions disclosure, within the unique context of Indonesia's newly implemented and evolving carbon regulations. The study uniquely observes how companies and managers respond to these nascent regulations, even before full implementation, and highlights the emerging role of carbon emissions disclosure as a new factor influencing corporate tax strategies, providing specific insights from the Indonesian setting
