Abstract

The paper investigates the factors that cause effective corporate tax rates (ETRs) to diverge from the statutory rate of corporation tax (SRCT). Based on accounting identities, a model of ETRs is specified that allows quantification of the effects of observed firm heterogeniety on how its ETRs may differ fromt he SRCT. Results suggest that significant factors are interest payments, R&D expenditure, foreign ownership, stock-market listing and the number of subsidiaries. The results also suggest that unobserved firm heterogeneity plays a significant role.
