第五章 結論與建議
第二節 研究限制與建議
研究限制方面,雖然以往文獻以永久性財稅差異衡量企業避稅得到顯著的結 果,但企業避稅程度畢竟不如財務報表上揭露的資訊如此透明,可以精確量化。
Graham and Tucker (2006)以被稽徵機關指控進行避稅交易的個案作為樣本,讓樣 本限縮在 44 筆,雖然本文以永久性差異作為衡量方法,但畢竟此種方法的數據 大小僅能作為避稅程度大小的代理變數,無法確切得知公司實際避稅利益,此乃 本研究最大之限制。且本研究樣本未區分企業避稅活動的性質,所以樣本中的避 稅活動可以從範圍最大的租稅規劃(Tax Planning)到遊走法律邊緣的租稅庇護 (Tax Shelter),這在區分上有所困難,也是本研究的限制。
對於後續研究,本文有幾點建議:第一,本文礙於時間限制,未對企業常用 之避稅工具詳加介紹,建議未來的研究可以探討多種避稅工具對企業資本結構的 影響。第二,雖然本文模型的迴歸結果大致符合預期,但仍有些變數在預期之外,
例如國內生產毛額(GDP)及盈餘波動程度(STABLE),可能尚有遺漏變數未被列入,
建議未來研究可以加入其他控制變數以強化迴歸的解釋能力。
最後,本研究對稽徵機關日後有一些參考之處。例如稽徵機關在對企業進行 查核時可以從財稅上的差異著手,將財稅差異較大之企業與其他企業做分類,對 查核資源之分配或許有一定幫助。
