We re-examine the question why large positive and large negative book-tax differences (LPBTDs and LNBTDs) are associated with lower earnings persistence (Hanlon, 2005). Specifically, we investigate whether lower earnings persistence of LPBTD firms and LNBTD firms, relative to firms in the middle...

As a result of the confidential sharing of data among tax authorities in different jurisdictions, effective tax rates have risen by between one and two percentage points. This demonstrates that the rules in place are working. By contrast, the publication of sensitive corporate data online makes...

Die Ermittlung des zu versteuernden Einkommens basiert regelmäßig auf einer Verknüpfung zivil-, handelsbilanz- und steuerrechtlicher (Teil-)Gebiete. In der Rechtsprechung und Literatur wird dabei häufig die sog. wirtschaftliche Betrachtungsweise angewendet, wobei sich ein unscharfes Bild...

We quantify the degree of tax-induced earnings management associated with statutory tax rates and examine whether greater book-tax conformity alters this particular type of earnings management. We first validate a new empirical approach for examining tax-induced earnings management using...

This paper studies how mandating higher book-tax conformity influences a manager's strategy to misreport financial and taxable incomes in the presence of a financial auditor and subsequently a tax auditor. The main result is that allowing for some differences between GAAP and tax laws minimizes...

I examine whether book-tax differences (BTDs) are mispriced. Using time-series asset pricing tests, I provide evidence of hedge returns to trading on BTDs consistent with prior evidence from security-level return predictability tests. BTDs are a function of accruals and growth, so I consider...

We quantify the degree of tax-induced earnings management associated with statutory tax rates and examine whether greater book-tax conformity alters this particular type of earnings management. We first validate a new empirical approach for examining tax-induced earnings management using...

Im Zuge der Debatte um Gewinnverlagerung multinationaler Unternehmen hat sich die Forderung nach einer länderbezogenen Offenlegung von betriebswirtschaftlichen und steuerlichen Daten, das sogenannte Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR), intensiviert. Während sich die OECD bereits auf eine...

Australia is experiencing cataclysmic weather events largely due to rising atmospheric temperatures caused by greenhouse gas emissions – climate change. A consequence of droughts, floods, fires, tempests and family disasters is the sale or loss of valuable stud stock. In normal trading...

In this study, we examine two questions: (1) whether financial statement aggressiveness related to tax accounts is associated with the likelihood of having tax-related misstatements in the financial statements, and (2) whether the disclosure of the need to restate prior years' financial...

This study explores the link between earnings management and jurisdictional differences in book-tax conformity. A dataset of national reforms where the corporate tax rate is lowered is used to estimate the effect of conformity on private firm's earnings management behavior when a specific...

This study examines the tax reporting consequences of financial reporting discretion. Using a matched sample of financial statements with tax returns, I provide estimates of the accuracy of tax return information inferred from financial statements. To examine the tradeoffs between financial and...

Over the last decade, a large body of tax accounting literature on the association between book-tax conformity (BTC)/book-tax differences (BTD) and firms' opportunistic reporting behavior has emerged. Yet, existing empirical evidence on the questions whether increased book-tax conformity...

In this study, I provide evidence that the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets helps predict the future creditworthiness of a firm. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, a firm records a deferred tax asset provided it expects to generate sufficient taxable income to realize the asset in...

With growing academic and policy interest in research and development (R and D) tax incentives, the question about their effectiveness has become ever more relevant. In the absence of an exogenous policy reform, the simultaneous determination of companies' tax positions and their R and D...

Over the last decade, a large body of tax accounting literature on the association between book-tax conformity (BTC)/book-tax differences (BTD) and firms’ opportunistic reporting behavior has emerged. Yet, existing empirical evidence on the questions whether increased book-tax conformity...

Prior studies suggest that large book-tax differences (BTDs) are associated with future earnings changes (or earnings persistence), but it is not clear what drives this association. Studies such as Lev and Nissim (2004) examine the association between total BTDs and after-tax earnings changes,...

In this paper we review the history and purpose of the corporation income tax return's Schedule M-1 in light of recent attention to corporate reporting issues. Although the traditional role for the schedule has been to assist the audit process, the reconciliation of book to tax accounting...

We examine how a comprehensive change in book-tax conformity affects firms' reporting behavior. To this end, we exploit a Reform Act as a quasi-natural experiment which implied a decrease in book-tax conformity in Germany in 2010. In particular, this reform allows firms to exercise tax...
