Abstract

This study examines whether dissimilar types of politically connected firms (PCFs) are related to corporate tax avoidance. Additionally, it investigates whether this association is moderated by chief executive officer (CEO) shareholding and institutional ownership. Using the dataset of Malaysian public listed companies from 2002 till 2018, our findings suggest that PCFs are associated with higher corporate tax avoidance which is largely driven by older PCFs and government-linked companies (GLCs). Further analyses reveal that the association between older PCFs and GLCs and higher corporate tax avoidance is stronger in firms with higher CEO shareholding and institutional ownership.

政治关系类型与企业避税:来自马来西亚的证据

这项研究考察了不同类型的政治关联公司（PCF）是否与公司避税有关。此外，它还调查了这种关联是否受到首席执行官持股和机构所有权的调节。使用2002年至2018年马来西亚上市公司的数据集，我们的研究结果表明，PCF与较高的企业避税行为有关，这在很大程度上是由较老的PCF和政府关联公司（GLC）推动的。进一步的分析表明，在CEO持股和机构所有权较高的公司中，较老的PCF和GLC与较高的公司避税之间的关联更强。
