Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Nghiên cứu này nhằm đánh giá tác động của đặc điểm CEO đến hành vi tránh thuế tại 405 công ty phi tài chính niêm yết trên thị trường chứng khoán Việt Nam giai đoạn 2012-2023. Nghiên cứu sử dụng phương pháp hồi quy tối thiểu tổng quát hóa (FGLS) với biến phụ thuộc đại diện tránh thuế được đo lường theo thuế suất hiệu dụng và các biến độc lập là đặc điểm CEO. Kết quả hồi quy thừa nhận chỉ có đặc điểm chuyên môn của CEO có tác động tiêu cực và có ý nghĩa đến tránh thuế, các đặc điểm còn lại chưa thấy bằng chứng thể hiện tương quan đến tránh thuế. Đồng thời, thông qua kết quả nghiên cứu, tác giả cũng đề xuất các hàm ý quản trị liên quan đến việc bổ nhiệm CEO với vai trò lãnh đạo để kiểm soát hành vi tránh thuế nhằm thực hiện được yêu cầu hiệu quả hoạt động nhưng cũng tuân thủ các quy định đối với Nhà nước.
Abstract
This study aims to assess the impact of CEO characteristics on tax avoidance behavior at 405 non-financial companies listed on the Vietnamese stock market from 2012 to 2023. The study uses the generalized least squares regression method (FGLS) with the dependent variable representing tax avoidance measured by the effective tax rate, and the independent variables are CEO characteristics. The regression results acknowledge that only the educational level of the CEO has a negative and significant impact on tax avoidance; the remaining characteristics are not correlated with tax avoidance. At the same time, through the research results, the author also proposes managerial implications related to the appointment of CEOs in leadership roles to control tax avoidance behavior, thereby meeting the requirements of operational efficiency while also complying with state regulations.
