  text: We examine behavioral frictions in entrepreneurs’ tax planning when choosing
    between corporate and partnership taxation under a check-the-box rule. Using German
    tax return data, we show that only a small fraction of entrepreneurs opt for corporate
    taxation, despite substantial potential tax savings. A pre registered incentivized
    online experiment demonstrates that complexity aversion, status quo bias, and
    misperception about the corporate tax burden—arising from the interaction of corporate
    and deferred dividend taxation—help explain the preference for partnership taxation.
    We further find that these behavioral frictions heighten liquidity risk under
    the corporate system, particularly in the face of unexpected cash flow needs.
    Finally, a survey of German tax advisors indicates that tax advice only partially
    mitigates these frictions. Some advisors misperceive the benefits of corporate
    taxation, while others anticipate client biases and therefore refrain from recommending
    the corporate tax system.

  text: We investigate how tax authorities use joint tax audits as a coordinated enforcement
    tool in cross-border transactions of a multinational firm. Joint tax audits aim
    to resolve potential tax disputes early, before such disputes escalate into costly
    and time-consuming resolution procedures that may not fully eliminate double taxation.
    Employing a game-theoretic model, we identify settings in which we expect joint
    audits to occur and investigate their effect on the firm's expected tax payments
    and tax audit efficiency. We find that the occurrence of joint audits critically
    depends on the double taxation risk in the absence of joint audits. Unless tax
    rules are consistently applied, joint audits can occur more often when this risk
    is higher. The reason is that the firm changes its income-shifting strategy to
    reduce its expected tax payments, and thereby also enables tax authorities to
    better target tax disputes via joint audits that would otherwise escalate. However,
    we identify conditions under which joint audits are then detrimental to tax audit
    efficiency, particularly when the firm prefers them most. Our results imply that
    cost-sharing arrangements for joint audits should be tailored to the level of
    double taxation risk, with firm involvement having the potential to improve efficiency
    when this risk is high.

  text: 'What can the tax authorities do to encourage citizens to pay their taxes
    more honestly? They can promote honest tax payments in the media! Such tax education,
    which is completely unfamiliar to German taxpayers, can look back on a long tradition
    in the USA, for example, and other countries. It has also been practised in Spain
    since the end of the 1960s and intensified after the transition to democracy.
    A Treasury television advertisement from 1990 allows an analysis of the narratives
    used by tax education in the young Spanish democracy. The intense and difficult
    struggle by state institutions for democratic, equal rights for all citizens even
    15 years after Franco''s death becomes obvious. '

  text: This study analyzes the impact of tax complexity on the location of tax employees
    and tax risk. Using a hand-collected dataset of more than 7,500 tax employees
    from 348 European-listed multinationals, we identify two types of firm-level costs
    associated with tax complexity—tax employees, and tax risk. We find that firms
    locate more tax employees in countries with greater tax complexity. This association
    is particularly pronounced for complexity in tax procedures. We also find that
    multinationals operating in countries with high tax complexity are associated
    with higher tax risk. The incremental tax risk vanishes for firms that locate
    more tax employees in countries with highly complex tax procedures, while we find
    no risk reduction from additional tax employees in countries with complex tax
    rules. Our results reveal that multinationals eliminate 25 percent of overall
    tax complexity-related tax risk through targeted location of tax employees.

  text: "Tax evasion, tax avoidance and tax resistance are widespread phenomena in
    political, economic, social and fiscal history from antiquity through medieval,
    early modern and modern times. Histories of Tax Evasion, Avoidance and Resistance
    shows how different groups and individuals around the globe have succeeded or
    failed in not paying their due taxes, whether in kind or in cash, on their properties
    or on their crops.\r\n\r\nIt analyses how, throughout history, wealthy and poor
    taxpayers have tried to avoid or reduce their tax burden by negotiating with tax
    authorities, through practices of legal or illegal tax evasion, by filing lawsuits,
    seeking armed resistance or by migration, and how state authorities have dealt
    with such acts of claim making, defiance, open resistance or elusion. It fills
    an important research gap in tax history, addressing questions of tax morale and
    fairness, and how social and political inequality was negotiated through taxation.
    It gives rich insights into the development of citizen-state relationships throughout
    the course of history. The book comprises case studies from Ancient Athens, Roman
    Egypt, Medieval Europe, Early Modern Mexico, the Ottoman Empire, Nigeria under
    British colonial rule, the United Kingdom of the early 20th century, Greece during
    the Second World War, as well as West Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and the United
    States in the 20th century, including transnational entanglements in the world
    of late-modern offshore finance and taxation. The authors are experts in fiscal,
    economic, financial, legal, social and/or cultural history.\r\nThe book is intended
    for students, researchers and scholars of economic and financial history, social
    and world history and political economy.\r\nThe Open Access version of this book,

  text: 'Paying taxes is a field of economic activity that has always been highly
    morally charged: the question of who pays how much or can avoid or evade the prescribed
    payments is always closely related to debate about a fair societal distribution
    of burdens. In the process of moralisation, therefore, faith communities such
    as the Catholic Church also repeatedly seized the floor to propagate certain norms.
    The article examines the contributions of theologians from Spain, the USA and
    West Germany in the 1940s and 1950s. It concludes that the norms of taxation they
    propagated differed greatly depending on the institutional and economic frameworks
    within which they operated. The analysis proves taxation to be a field of economic
    action and societal dispute where economics and morality are indissolubly interconnected.'

  text: "<jats:p>Consider the practical goal of making a desired action profile played,\r\n\r\nwhen
    the planner can only change the payoffs, bound by \r\n\r\nstringent constraints.\r\n\r\nApplications
    include motivating people\r\n\r\nto choose the closest school, the closest subway
    station, or to coordinate\r\n\r\non a communication protocol or an investment
    strategy.\r\n\r\nEmploying subsidies and tolls, we adjust the game so that choosing
    this predefined action profile\r\n\r\nbecomes strictly dominant. \r\n\r\nInspired
    mainly by the work of Monderer and Tennenholtz,\r\n\r\nwhere the promised subsidies
    do not materialise in the not played\r\n\r\nprofiles, we provide a fair and individually
    rational game\r\n\r\nadjustment, such that the total outside investments sum up\r\n\r\nto
    zero at any profile, thereby facilitating easy and frequent\r\n\r\nusage of our
    adjustment without bearing costs, even if some\r\n\r\nplayers behave unexpectedly.
    The resultant action profile itself needs no\r\n\r\nadjustment. Importantly, we
    also prove that our adjustment minimises \r\n\r\nthe general transfer among all
    such adjustments, counting the total subsidising and taxation.</jats:p>"

  text: "This study investigates the conditions under which tax rate changes accelerate
    risky investments.\r\nWhile tax rate increases are often expected to harm investment,
    analytical\r\nstudies find tax rate increases may foster investment under flexibility.We
    design a theorybased\r\nexperimentwith a binomial random walk and entry–exit flexibility.We
    find accelerated\r\ninvestment upon tax rate increases irrespective of an exit
    option, but no corresponding\r\nresponse to tax cuts. This asymmetry may be due
    to tax salience and mechanisms\r\nfrom irreversible choice under uncertainty.
    Given this evidence of unexpected tax-reform\r\neffects, tax policymakers should
    carefully consider behavioral aspects."

  text: "We study the bargaining behavior between auditor and auditee in a tax setting
    and scrutinize\r\nthe effect of interpersonal trust and trust in government on
    both parties’ concessions.\r\nWe find evidence that both kinds of trust affect
    the concessionary behavior, albeit\r\nin different ways. While trust in government
    affects concessionary behavior in line with\r\nintuitive predictions, we find
    that interpersonal trust only affects tax auditors. For high\r\ninterpersonal
    trust, the alleviating effect of high trust in government on tax auditors’\r\nconcessions
    is less pronounced. Our findings help tax authorities to shape programs to\r\nenhance
    compliance in an atmosphere of trust."

  text: "Employing a unique hand-collected sample of 956 credit risk securitization
    transactions issued by 64 stock-listed\r\nEuropean banks across the EU-13 plus
    Switzerland over the period from 1997 to 2010, this paper empirically analyzes\r\nthe
    impact of securitization on the issuing banks’ effective tax rates. Our analysis
    reveals that banks may reduce their\r\ntax expense through securitization via
    a direct and indirect channel suggesting that tax avoidance may be a further\r\nmotive
    for banks to engage in the securitization business. These baseline findings remain
    robust under various\r\nrobustness checks, especially when implementing structural
    equation models and controlling for a reverse causality\r\nbetween the banks’
    tax burden and their incentive to securitize. Finally, various sensitivity analyses
    provide further\r\nimportant results and implications for tax policies, banking
    regulation and the ongoing process of revitalizing the\r\nEuropean securitization

    over the period from 1997 to 2010, this paper empirically analyzes the impact
    of securitization on the issuing banks’ effective tax rates. Our analysis reveals
    that banks may reduce their tax expense through securitization via a direct and
    indirect channel suggesting that tax avoidance may be a further motive for banks
    to engage in the securitization business. These baseline findings remain robust
    under various robustness checks, especially when implementing structural equation
    models and controlling for a reverse causality between the banks’ tax burden and
    their incentive to securitize. Finally, various sensitivity analyses provide further
    important results and implications for tax policies, banking regulation and the
    ongoing process of revitalizing the European securitization market.

  text: All over the world, firms and governments are increasingly concerned about
    the rise in tax complexity. To manage it and develop effective simplification
    measures, detailed information on the current drivers of complexity is required.
    However, research on this topic is scarce. This is surprising as the latest developments—for
    example, triggered by the BEPS project—give rise to the conjecture that complexity
    drivers may have changed, thus questioning the findings of prior studies. In this
    paper, we shed light on this issue and provide a global picture of the current
    drivers of tax complexity that multinational corporations face based on a survey
    of 221 highly experienced tax practitioners from 108 countries. Our results show
    that prior complexity drivers of the tax code are still relevant, with details
    and changes of tax regulations being the two most influential complexity drivers.
    We also find evidence for new relevant complexity drivers emerging from different
    areas of the tax framework, such as inconsistent decisions among tax officers
    (tax audits) or retroactively applied tax law amendments (tax enactment). Based
    on the responses of the practitioners, we develop a concept of tax complexity
    that distinguishes two pillars, tax code and tax framework complexity, and illustrates
    the various aspects that should be considered when assessing the complexity of
    a country’s tax system.

  text: When taxes on capital or wealth are levied, in most countries companies have
    to be assessed in terms of their market value (MV). Estimating the MV of private
    companies for tax purposes is a challenging task for tax authorities as MVs are
    not available. In this study, I empirically analyse to what extent an accounting-based
    tax valuation method for private companies, a simplified residual income model,
    succeeds in matching the MV. I refer to the mandatory Standardised Combination
    Model that is a special case of methods commonly used in several countries. In
    the absence of market prices for private companies, I use a sample of small German
    public companies as a proxy. I validate this approach using a sensitivity analysis
    that involves matching the sample of public companies with that of private companies.
    The results imply that the mandatory Standardised Combination Model leads to a
    severe unequal treatment not only between public and private companies but also
    among private companies across and within industries. Furthermore, I simulate
    the effects of variation in the key parameters and highlight their impact on the
    approximation quality of the Standardised Combination Method. The findings are
    relevant to tax reform discussions as well as to tax policy-makers and practitioners
    in many countries.

  text: 'This study integrates the government in the context of company valuation.
    Our framework allows to analyze and to quantify the risk-sharing effects and conflicts
    of interest between the government and the shareholders when firms follow different
    financial policies. We provide novel evidence that firms with fixed future levels
    of debt might invest more than socially desirable. Economically, this happens
    if the gain in tax-shields is big enough to outweigh the loss in the unlevered
    firm value. Our findings have implications for the practice of investment subsidy
    programs provided by the government to avoid fostering investments beyond the
    socially optimal level. '
