<p><em>This study aims to examine the effect of transfer pricing, thin capitalization, financial distress, earnings management, and capital intensity on tax avoidance with sales growth as moderating. This study uses a sample of manufacturing companies in the basic industrial sector and chemical goods, the consumer goods industry sector, and other goods industry sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2016-2018 period as many as 32 companies. Data collection techniques using purposive sampling </em><em>method </em><em>and analyze using panel data multiple regression method. The results showed that transfer pricing, financial distress, earnings management, and sales growth have a negative effect on tax avoidance. Thin capitalization has a positive effect on tax </em><em>avoidance</em><em>, while capital intensity has no effect on tax avoidance. Sales growth as a moderator is able to strengthen the negative influence of transfer pricing and financial distress and the positive influence of thin capitalization and capital intensity on tax avoidance. Sales growth weakens the negative effect of earnings management on tax avoidance</em></p>

Dependent variables in this study are tax avoidance while the independent variables used in this research are company size, leverage, profitability and audit committees. This research is focused on the LQ45 company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) period 2015-2018. The selection of samples in this study used the purposive sampling method, thus obtained a sample of 51 sample data from the LQ45 company population listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) period 2015-2018. The analytical tools used in this study are multiple linear regression analyses. The results of this research show that the variable cash flow operations affect the tax avoidance, while the company size variables, leverage, profitability, sales growth and audit committees do not affect the tax avoidance.

Tax avoidance is an important element of management in the global economy. Managers use tax havens for reducing a company’s effective tax rate. The most common practices in international tax planning can be divided into three groups: loans and their related interest, royalties, and transfer pricing. The aim of this article is to find the determinants of the tax burden faced by foreign-owned subsidiaries. Therefore, a model was created for the tax burden, focusing on the special position of subsidiaries within international tax planning. For this purpose, taxes/outcomes was established as a new dependent variable. The panel data used include Czech companies that are owned by parent companies located in other EU countries. The model distinguishes EU tax havens from regular member states; sector dummy variables are also included. The regression model that was created did not confirm the assumed dependencies. Rather, it indicated other important determinants: profitability, the share of intangible assets, size, and the dummy variable for the ICT sector. Based on the regression results, the independent variables connected with known tax planning schemes have relatively low importance. The significance of these results can be seen in the subsequent conclusions. First of all, there is no difference between the subsidiaries’ tax burdens based on the parent company’s location. Corporations use international tax planning whether or not they are owned from a tax haven. The second significant conclusion indicates the importance of certain sectors and their attributes concerning the tax burden. Companies from the ICT sector are linked to a lower tax burden. On the other hand, the dependencies within the financial sector are not statistically significant. From the perspective of further research, it would be constructive to incorporate the subsidiary’s position within the group.

This study examines how spillovers affect a multinational company's choice of an intangible's location and the corresponding transfer price for using this intangible. Our model uses a company with a domestic division in a high-tax country and a foreign division in a low-tax country, where each division's activities generate spillovers on the other division's income. In contrast to previous studies, our analysis incorporates an intangible's optimal location when the company trades off tax minimization and efficient activities. By locating the intangible abroad, the company reduces its tax liability, whereas locating the intangible domestically yields more efficient domestic division activities. For a high spillover of the domestic division, the company locates the intangible domestically. Our model supports empirical evidence regarding intangibles' location that is interpreted as "home bias". Additionally, we show how variations in regulatory parameters-arm's length range and tax rate differential-affect the divisions' activities and the intangible's location.

This paper reviews common challenges of taxing multinational firms, using Chile as a case study. We briefly describe key international tax avoidance methods: profit shifting to low-tax jurisdictions through transfer pricing and debt shifting. We discuss the prevalent policy to tax multinationals--the arm's length principle--and alternative proposals using apportionment formulas. Novel data from Chile show that multinationals make up a large share of GDP but report lower profit and effective tax rates than local firms. In 2011, Chile implemented a reform following OECD guidelines to enforce the arm's length principle. We discuss potential effects on tax collection and welfare.
