Negative interest rates and corporate tax behavior in banks
Using a sample of OECD domestic banks and a difference-in-difference research design, we examine the impact of Negative Interest Rate (NIR) regimes on corporate tax behavior. We document that the introduction of NIRs is associated with a 2.3 to 2.6 percentage point decrease in effective tax rates. The effect of NIRs is more pronounced in banks with lower distance to default, and in countries with lower tax enforcement or lower trust in the government. Collectively, our results suggest that the increased costs associated with NIRs are borne by commercial banks which lead to an increase in their respective tax planning.
