Tóm tắt

Bài báo này phân tích cách thức đặc điểm doanh nghiệp định hình chiến lược tránh thuế của 126 doanh nghiệp nộp thuế thu nhập doanh nghiệp lớn nhất Việt Nam giai đoạn 2017-2022. Dựa trên khung lý luận kết hợp lý thuyết đại diện, giả thuyết quyền lực chính trị, quan điểm dựa trên nguồn lực, và lý thuyết thể chế, nghiên cứu mô hình hóa hai chỉ số thuế suất thực tế - ETR kế toán và ETR hiện hành – thông qua phương pháp Bình phương tối thiểu tổng quát để xử lý phương sai thay đổi và tự tương quan trong dữ liệu bảng. Kết quả cho thấy quy mô, tỷ suất sinh lời, cường độ tài sản cố định và mạng lưới công ty liên kết làm ETR giảm đáng kể; trong khi đó, thời gian hoạt động của doanh nghiệp làm tăng ETR, đòn bẩy tài chính chỉ tác động làm tăng ETR kế toán.

Abstract

This paper examines how corporate characteristics influence the tax avoidance of the 126 largest corporate income taxpayers in Vietnam from 2017 to 2022. Based on the theoretical framework that combines Agency theory, the Political Power hypothesis, the Resource-Based view (RBV), and Institutional theory, the study models two effective tax rate indicators—accounting ETR and current ETR—using the Generalized Least Squares (GLS) method to handle heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation in panel data. The results show that size, return on assets (ROA), fixed asset intensity, and the network of affiliated companies significantly reduce the effective tax rate (ETR). At the same time, the operating time of the enterprise increases ETR; leverage only affects the increase in the accounting ETR.
