<p>This paper puts forward a capital structure model that incorporates the impacts of dividend policy and personal taxes that are commonly ignored by the existing capital structure models. The results show that paying dividends can reduce the tax benefits from issuing debts, which explains why existing capital structure models commonly overestimate leverage ratios. The results further show that as dividend payout increases, leverage ratios and credit spreads increase too. By incorporating the impacts of dividend policy and personal taxes, the capital structure model established in this paper can generate wide range of leverage ratios and credit spreads, which are consistent with what are observed in the real world.</p>

We develop a theory of cross-border income shifting in response to subnational personal taxation in a federation and examine its implications for the excess burden of personal taxes. We show how a properly chosen federal tax rate can offset the fiscal externality between states and facilitate decentralization, even in a heterogeneous federation where unitary taxation is suboptimal. Optimal taxes depend on the elasticities of national tax avoidance and of cross-state tax base shifting. We estimate these elasticities around a tax decentralization reform in Canada, finding both to be empirically relevant. We discuss the implications for optimal federalism.

AbstractWe use nearly 500 shifts in statutory corporate and personal income tax rates as natural experiments to assess the effect of corporate and personal taxes on capital structure. We find both corporate and personal income taxes to be significant determinants of capital structure. Based on ex post observed summary statistics, across Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) countries, taxes appear to be as important as other traditional variables in explaining capital structure choices. The results are stronger among corporate tax payers, dividend payers, and companies that are more likely to have an individual as the marginal investor.
