12、  A common issue in cross-sectional studies that attempt to link a particular management accounting choice to an outcome measure is that all sample firms may be optimizing with respect to the choice being investigated (I

46、e consistent with evidence that mid-level managers respond to explicit bonus-based incentives (e.g., Kahn and Sherer 1990; Guidry et al.</p><p>  . Compensating a firms SBU managers on an after-tax basis is

52、R using TTE in the numerator. First, TTE excludes the effects of temporary book-tax differences, so tax-planning actions that result in a tax deferral are not reflected in the ETR. For example,a more favorable purchase p

53、rice allocation in an asset acquisition, which leads to greater book-tax depreciation differences, is not reflected in the ETR. Similarly, investments in special purpose entities could lead to tempor</p><p>

54、  The second measurement issue regarding the ETR is that TTE excludes the tax benefit of deductions resulting from the exercise of nonqualified employee stock options (ESO). Firms that have little or no tax liability bec

55、ause of their ESO deductions could have high ETR, which can be problematic in studies that attempt to use the ETR to measure a firm's tax burden or to evaluate a firm's incentive to engage in tax-planning actions

68、能夠代理節(jié)稅以及通常并不意味稅后收入或者是現(xiàn)金流已經(jīng)達到最大值。盡管有這一局限性,出口退稅還是被用來衡量稅收功能性支出的有效性(米爾斯,1998)和企業(yè)各部門稅務績效(道格拉斯,1996)。另外,降低出口退稅是經(jīng)常被作為一種增加收入(齊格勒,1997)和使股價上升的手段(e.g. Mintz 1999; Swenson 1999)。 </p><p>  會計研究處理了以會計績效為基礎的薪酬和經(jīng)理的行為之間的關(guān)系

69、(e.g., Larcker 1983; Healy 1985; Wallace 1997),本文是第一個從事這方面研究的文章:是否以稅后會計為基礎的績效管理措施鼓勵經(jīng)理人員采取行動來降低他們公司的出口退稅,并且首席執(zhí)行官和事業(yè)部經(jīng)理也要求做。在此之前的稅后業(yè)績計量研究只集中于首席執(zhí)行官們的報酬的決定因素為預先的稅后收益 (e.g., Newman 1989; Carnes and Guffey 2000; Atwood et al.

70、1998; Dhaliwal et al. </p><p>  2000),沒有提供任何證據(jù)說明降低一個公司的稅務負擔與稅后報酬的關(guān)系。這項調(diào)查擴展到了事業(yè)部層次,這些部門的報酬激勵動機與減少稅收的目的目的之間存在明顯的沖突(e.g., McLemore 1997)以及觀察的經(jīng)驗是,大多數(shù)企業(yè)沒有這樣做(e.g., Douglas et al. 1996)。目前的研究提供的證據(jù)關(guān)于明確激勵首席執(zhí)行官和事業(yè)部管理

71、人員納入其經(jīng)營和投資決策的稅務結(jié)果的增量效益。 </p><p>  以某個側(cè)面來研究出口退稅與管理層薪酬的共同課題,衡量的結(jié)果是所有樣本公司可優(yōu)化關(guān)于被調(diào)查的選擇(Ittner and Larcker 2001)。如果不解決公司選擇的內(nèi)生性,很難提供一致的證據(jù)關(guān)于這選擇導致改善的結(jié)果。為了解決這個問題,首席執(zhí)行官和事業(yè)部經(jīng)理關(guān)于稅后績效與出口退稅的聯(lián)系依舊采用兩步方式估計,可以幫助對潛在的內(nèi)生性與相關(guān)偏見這兩個

72、變量做出正確的選擇。作為實施這一方法的第一步,the Antle and Demski (1988) 可控性原則是用來模擬一個公司的決定,通過對首席執(zhí)行官和事業(yè)部經(jīng)理稅后績效指標的衡量。要包括一個特別措施在經(jīng)理人的薪酬合同中,這一原則要求持有一個衡量預期收益和負責任的經(jīng)理更加努力工作來規(guī)避所支付的附加工資之間的額外風險。因此,稅后績效指標應作為一個激勵經(jīng)理人的獲取額外報酬的方法,只有當經(jīng)理的稅務規(guī)劃工作的參與導致了稅前和稅后核算結(jié)果之間

73、的差異,這通常反映在出口退稅上面。與以前的研究相一致,包括與首席執(zhí)行官和事業(yè)部經(jīng)理選擇稅后模型的變量,對于一個企業(yè)的稅務籌劃的機會控制,因為這種機會的存在會在某種程度上反映了經(jīng)理人的行動,可以預期,將會降低出口退稅</p><p>  即使通過經(jīng)理人的努力,預計將導致較低的出口退稅,公司將使用稅后績效指標只有當預期收益超過預期成本才這樣做,稅后業(yè)績措施預計會導致較低的出口退稅,因為它促使管理人員和稅務專業(yè)人員加強

74、合作以達成一致的,發(fā)展的,執(zhí)行稅收籌劃策略,McLemore (1997, 1)引用惠普公司的稅務主任支持稅務規(guī)劃工作需要事業(yè)部經(jīng)理參與的必要性: </p><p>  稅收籌劃這種事情也只有在被作為業(yè)務規(guī)劃的早期階段,戰(zhàn)略上的規(guī)劃,兼并和收購工作??你的稅務部門要在會議上,代表這些部門做出決定。對未來的發(fā)展模式是稅務策劃人與業(yè)務部門緊密合作完成的。 </p><p>  與使用稅后業(yè)績的

75、措施有關(guān)的費用包括附加工資必須支付給經(jīng)理以彌補由于潛在的稅法變化增加的風險,使經(jīng)理加倍的努力,包括,從合同中補償個人所得稅方面費用的增加的結(jié)果。與稅后報酬有關(guān)的其他潛在費用包括向一個公司的事業(yè)部分配行政費用開支,稅務檢查成本增加,并增加稅務機關(guān)審查頻率。相反,通過觀察出口退稅的好處來衡量稅后報酬,有沒有稅后業(yè)績計量的成本效益明顯的有經(jīng)驗代理人。因此,本研究著重于在管理者的基礎上實現(xiàn)的稅后補償效益,但不提供相關(guān)的成本,規(guī)模的證據(jù)。 <

76、;/p><p>  在企業(yè)主管的調(diào)查中所獲得的專有數(shù)據(jù)用于構(gòu)造并測試某些變量,說明是否包括那些首席執(zhí)行官和事業(yè)部的經(jīng)理們使用稅后會計基礎的績效指標。公開數(shù)據(jù)用于構(gòu)造出口退稅和其他變量來測試,結(jié)果與假設一致,即事業(yè)部經(jīng)理的報酬,但不包括公司首席執(zhí)行官的,與稅后導致較低的出口退稅有關(guān),估計使每年平均節(jié)省1330萬美元的稅款。模擬公司進行敏感性測試的子樣本中,邊際稅率(Graham 1996)提供進一步的證據(jù)表明,低邊際稅

77、率的公司將會有降低潛在出口退稅的行動,可能對現(xiàn)金流量和稅后利潤不吻合這一結(jié)果產(chǎn)生模棱兩可的影響。敏感性測試有助于進一步排除了稅收職能外包的比例,作為另一種解釋,統(tǒng)計上和經(jīng)濟上顯示事業(yè)部經(jīng)理的稅后報酬和出口退稅呈負相關(guān)。 </p><p>  研究結(jié)果有助于薪酬以會計為基礎的著作,通過實施事業(yè)部經(jīng)理參與的以稅后會計為基礎的績效措施,是逐步降低企業(yè)出口退稅的有效措施。符合Guidry et al. (1999)表明了

79、調(diào)查的報酬數(shù)據(jù)的簡要概述。結(jié)果列于第五章最后一節(jié)提供了一個結(jié)論,即關(guān)于該研究的局限性的討論。 </p><p><b>  II. 假說發(fā)展 </b></p><p>  Newman (1989), Cares and Guffey (2000), and Atwood et al. (1998) 調(diào)查作為稅后盈利企業(yè)對首席執(zhí)行官獎金計劃包含變量的選擇。這些研究假

80、設,企業(yè)有更大的稅收籌劃的機會,與Antle and Demski (1988)的可控性原則一致,更有可能使用稅后業(yè)績的措施。利用稅收籌劃的機會代理,這些研究都發(fā)現(xiàn)了跨國公司的地位,經(jīng)營分部的數(shù)量,企業(yè)規(guī)模,首席執(zhí)行官的報酬和資本密集度呈正相關(guān),Atwood et al. (1998) 還提出證據(jù),充分利用這一負相關(guān)的選擇。 </p><p>  Dhaliwaletal (2000)還關(guān)注了“企業(yè)的稅收籌劃機會

81、和決定,是否與首席執(zhí)行官稅后收益的獎金計劃的之間的關(guān)系”,但有關(guān)措施只實現(xiàn)了稅收籌劃的機會使稅收抵免和企業(yè)永遠不變的繳稅財產(chǎn)清單和稅率的絕對值。但不包括那些臨時繳稅財產(chǎn)清單和稅率差異造成的加速折舊,因為這些差異并不影響一個公司的稅后會計盈余,用于測量稅后會計績效為基礎的獎金計劃。同樣地,在目前的研究中使用的出口退稅是利用計算器計算所得稅費用總額,從而排除了臨時繳稅財產(chǎn)清單和稅率差異的影響。 </p><p>  

82、與以前的文獻相一致,Dhaliwal et al. (2000) 發(fā)現(xiàn)有更大的稅收抵免和繳稅財產(chǎn)清單和稅率差異絕對值使公司更容易給首席執(zhí)行官高的稅后報酬。由于永久性差異可以增加或減少應稅收入的相對預期收入,他們沒有提供首席執(zhí)行官的稅后報酬和降低出口退稅之間的直接證據(jù)。目前研究首席執(zhí)行官的稅后報酬和出口退稅的關(guān)系。第一個假設,闡明的另一種形式是: </p><p>  H1: 利用企業(yè)稅后業(yè)績?yōu)榛A來衡量首席執(zhí)行官

83、的獎金計劃將導致出口退稅的降低。 本文還擴展了稅前稅后報酬的分析,以作為激勵事業(yè)部經(jīng)理的薪酬計劃。對于事業(yè)部經(jīng)理參與協(xié)調(diào)稅務規(guī)劃工作的任務時,專家要求從非專業(yè)人員投入和合作保持一貫性(Milgrom and Roberts 1992)。該公司的稅務專業(yè)人士不僅要幫助該公司的事業(yè)部經(jīng)理在稅務規(guī)劃機會的選擇,而且在他們制定和執(zhí)行戰(zhàn)略,以利用這些機會合作。 </p><p>  在調(diào)低出口退稅,增加稅后會計收益方面,怎

84、么使事業(yè)部經(jīng)理更加的努力,增加稅收抵免,并導致應納稅所得額永久性差異的降低?高露潔公司首席財務官說“高露潔人提供學習的機會經(jīng)常留意海外[從而導致更高的外國稅收抵免]時間匯款的方式,最大限度地提高研究和發(fā)展的稅收抵免” (Mintz 1999, 2.) 事業(yè)部經(jīng)理也可以幫助稅務專業(yè)人士制定轉(zhuǎn)移價格(Ernst & Young 1999), 這有助于降低出口退稅,通過國家報告反映的事業(yè)部經(jīng)理參與減少(增加)收入的其他例子,有助于降低

85、出口退稅。包括:(1)在雇傭職工前看其工資是否具有抵免稅收的資格,(2)向該公司的稅務專業(yè)人士咨詢公司設立的地點,因為公司所處的不同位置適用不同的稅率,(3)協(xié)助稅務專業(yè)人士收集申報納稅所需的數(shù)據(jù)文件。 </p><p>  上述討論表明,事業(yè)部經(jīng)理的參與對降低出口退稅是有幫助的。在會議上傳達稅收籌劃效果對首席執(zhí)行官稅后獎金的重要性,從而對他們產(chǎn)生足夠的激勵,以使事業(yè)部經(jīng)理通過加倍努力來降低企業(yè)的出口退稅。如果是

86、這樣的話,那么明確的獎勵工資就沒有必要去激勵他們付出更多的努力了。Wilson (1995, 12),因此,舉一個有公司主管會談記錄,以支持他的結(jié)論,激勵事業(yè)部經(jīng)理稅后措施應在稅務規(guī)劃工作中有所涉及: </p><p>  我們建立了并不斷完善部門的稅后激勵措施。這迫使經(jīng)營單位站在對節(jié)稅有利的立場上考慮問題。 </p><p>  類似地,Mintz (1999, 2) 列舉了高露潔公司財

87、務總監(jiān)關(guān)于稅后業(yè)績計量的說法: 是關(guān)于稅前收入的管理激勵,公司在考慮將支付給員工多少獎金時得多注意稅收優(yōu)惠的影響.但是,由于激勵的報酬取決于稅后收益回報??當公司稅收降低會使經(jīng)理得到更多的報酬。 </p><p>  上述論點的證據(jù)表明,與中層管理人員額外獎金的激勵機制相一致(e.g., Kahn and Sherer 1990; Guidry et al. 1999)。一個公司的事業(yè)部經(jīng)理額外報酬基于稅后收益,

88、預計會使管理人員更加努力,導致較低的出口退稅。第二個假設,為另一種表現(xiàn)形式,如下: </p><p>  H2:對事業(yè)部經(jīng)理使用會計為基礎的績效措施,將導致較低的出口退稅。 </p><p><b>  III.經(jīng)營模型 </b></p><p>  為了測試在上一節(jié)所述的假設,下面的等式通過部分估計:變量定義 內(nèi)生函數(shù)實際的出口退稅率被定義為

89、稅收總收入的費用率關(guān)于稅前收入。1995-1997年期間平均每年的出口退稅是用來控制不確定的年與年之間在每年的出口退稅上的波動。因為只有努力降低出口退稅,才會增加稅后收益。因此,出口退稅當前被作為適當?shù)睦碚撚脕碓u價稅后會計績效為基礎的獎金計劃的效力。 </p><p>  至少有兩個潛在的問題,然而,出口退稅方面的測量,在計算中的使用。首先,計算時不包括臨時賬面稅率差異的影響,因此稅收籌劃的行動,在稅收延期結(jié)果方

90、面,是沒有反映在出口退稅上。例如,一個更加有利的購買資產(chǎn)的收購,從而導致更大的賬面折舊攤銷的差異,是不會體現(xiàn)在出口退稅上的。同樣,有特殊目的實體的投資可能會導致的暫時性差異也未反映在出口退稅上(e.g., Hanlon 2002)。設立一個外國子公司在低稅率的國家和推遲遣返外國收入的另一種方式是推遲納稅并不會影響出口退稅,除非該公司是以財務報告的立場,即外國收益永久或無限期地投資(Krull 2001)。對于一個企業(yè)的首席執(zhí)行官的薪酬是

91、以企業(yè)稅后績效為基礎的,涉及決定稅收延期的可能,這很可能是國外設立公司的情況并形成特殊目的實體,出口退稅將無法衡量首席執(zhí)行官為稅收籌劃付出的努力。 </p><p>  第二次測量有關(guān)出口退稅問題,計算時排除了由非限定員工股票期權(quán)產(chǎn)生的扣除稅收優(yōu)惠。企業(yè)很少或沒有應納稅額,因為他們的股票期權(quán)中可以扣除更高的出口退稅,這可能是不確定的研究,嘗試使用出口退稅來衡量一個企業(yè)的稅務負擔或評價一個公司的激勵從事稅務規(guī)劃工作

92、的行為(e.g., Hanlon and Shevlin 2002)。可以說,這些企業(yè)缺乏動力去從事代價高昂的稅務規(guī)劃行動并不太可能使用稅后業(yè)績的措施。調(diào)整出口退稅反映了員工股票期權(quán)扣減的稅務優(yōu)惠會導致這些企業(yè)降低出口退稅,盡管稅前抵扣得適當使用,并表明企業(yè)稅后業(yè)績和出口退稅之間沒有聯(lián)系的假設不成立。 </p><p>  如果首席執(zhí)行官收到年度獎金,則總裁稅的指標變量等1,一位首席執(zhí)行官和事業(yè)部經(jīng)理,它代表的赫

93、克曼單方程逆米爾斯比雙選模擬(1976)。這些變量,是在用BUATAX模型,在計算的基礎上對總裁稅的估計結(jié)果,包括在出口退稅模型,實現(xiàn)統(tǒng)一使用OLS估計系數(shù)(Tunali 1986)。這些變量詳細描述在下面“估計”小節(jié)。 </p><p>  出口退稅和補償方程的共同外生變量 </p><p>  所有這三個方程包含變量,是一個企業(yè)的稅務籌劃的機會 。包括在這些變量方程的理由是,各個公司的

94、法定的出口退稅率不同,因此有機會采取行動,增加出口退稅,從而減少應稅收入或增加稅收抵免(Mills et al. 1998)。與以前的研究相一致(e.g., Newman 1989; Atwood et al. 1998; Dhaliwal et al. 2000)和Antle and Demski (1988)可控性的原則,稅務規(guī)劃機會變量也包括在CEOATAX and BUATAX方程。由于所在地稅務的影響,跨國經(jīng)營的企業(yè)預計將有較

95、大的稅務規(guī)劃機會,更多的遣返和轉(zhuǎn)移定價決策,為跨國經(jīng)營的代理,作為外國資產(chǎn)的比例,截至2006年年底,以1997.9 CAPINT作為財產(chǎn)的比例計算總資產(chǎn)的賬面價值,廠房和設備的總資產(chǎn),截至2006年年底以1997年(BVA)賬面價值,并列入有關(guān)控制固定資產(chǎn)投資的機會。規(guī)模較大的公司,通過其業(yè)務范圍和規(guī)模,預計將有更多的機會進行稅務規(guī)劃工作。截至2006年的比例,以1997年年底的自然對數(shù)作為BVA。以更大的杠桿公司也預計將有更多的機會
