活动简介:
This paper examines how capital constraints arising from challenges in the VAT operational system influence firms’ tax compliance behavior. Before 2018, China did not refund excess input VAT, creating a significant financial burden for businesses. Using a National Tax Survey Database, we examine how firms strategically manage VAT payments to minimize cash lockup. We find that firms with substantial input VAT credit carryovers (IVCC) increase output credits via related-party sales. This effect is more pronounced for financially constrained firms, particularly when the related parties are subsidiaries of listed firms and can effectively absorb the additional output credits generated by increased purchases from listed firms. We also find that IVCC-induced related-party sales negatively affect related parties' gross margins, suggesting inflated transfer pricing. Following China's implementation of partial refund of IVCC in 2018, related-party sales declined notably across the pilot industries. These findings provide empirical evidence of a mechanism for VAT non-compliance and distortion.
