The additional tax ("penalties") imposable in terms of section 76(1) of the Income Tax Act (No 58 of 1962) when a taxpayer is in default, can be very harsh (up to 200% of the tax properly chargeable). The Commissioner may, in terms of section 76(2)(a), remit any penalty imposed, as he sees fit. However, when there was intent on the part of the taxpayer to evade the payment of tax, the Commissioner may not remit any portion of the 200% penalty imposable, unless he is of the opinion that "extenuating circumstances" exist. This dissertation examines the meaning of "extenuating circumstances", as interpreted by the judiciary, and lists the factors and defences that a taxpayer may plead to justify a remission of penalties, both in the case of an intention by the taxpayer to evade tax and in cases where the taxpayer is merely in default of section 76(1). / Accounting / MCOM (Accounting)

Bakgrund: OECD har tillsammans med G20-länderna beslutat att koncerner skall skatterapportera i enlighet med ett nytt underlag utifrån en ny lagstiftning, som heter Country-By-Country-rapportering (CbCr). Detta innebär att företagen skall börja rapportera bland annat betald skatt och sina anställda per jurisdiktion där företaget verkar och på så vis kommer en ökad transparens inom skatteredovisning att ske. Ur myndigheters synpunkt är detta en ändring mot det positiva, men frågan blir vad företagen och dess koncernskattechefer anser om denna ändring i skatteraportering. Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att identifiera och beskriva koncernskattechefers attityder till en ny lagstiftning som ändrar dagens skatterapportering genom CbCr som leder till en ökad transparens i skatteredovisningen, samt att se vad som påverkar identifierad attityd. Denna studie kommer att bidra genom att ge ett empiriskt underlag som öppnar för framtida forskning kring attityder hos koncernskattechefer vid den ökade transparensen i skatteredovisning. Studien ger också ett kunskapsunderlag för statliga myndigheter, i synnerhet skattemyndigheter, och för berörda koncerner samt svenskt näringsliv. Metod: Genom en kvalitativ metod med  intervjuer av koncernskattechefer hos 8 stora koncerner samt skatteverket har empiriskt material samlats in som leder till en vidare analys och slutsats. Slutsats: De mest framträdande resultaten i denna uppsats har varit att en del koncernskattechefer ser samband mellan skatt och socialt ansvar och är därmed positiva till implementeringen eftersom det kommer att stärka det sociala kontraktet. Andra koncernskattechefer ser risker med CbCr och ökade kostnader och därmed minskade incitamentsersättningar och har en negativ attityd till en ökad transparens i skatteredovisningen. / Background: A decision made by OECD, together with G20-countries says that Corporate Groups shall report report tax according to new guideline, called Country-By-Country-reporting. This means that corporate groups for example will report tax paid per jurisdiction and therefore will the tax transparency be increased. According to  authorities, the new implementation is positive but the question is whether the corporate groups and their corporate group tax managers will be positive or not. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify and explain attitudes of tax managers when a new legislation changes today´s tax reporting in the form of a CbC-report which will increase transparency in the tax reporting, and what elements are behind these identified attitudes.This study will contribute by giving an empirical material thats opens to further research about corporate group tax managers attitudes with increased tax transparency. The study also gives better knowledge for public authorities, particularly the tax authority and to concerned corporate groups. Method: Through a qualitative method with interviews with corporate group tax managers with 8 large corporate groups and tax authorities, empirical material has been gathered, which leads to further analysis and a conclusion. Conclusion: The most prominent results in this essay has been the fact that some corporate group tax managers sees the connection between tax and social responsibility and therefor are positive to the implementation because it will strengthen the social contract.Other corporate group tax managers sees the hazards with CbCr and appurtenant costs and therefor decreased incentive compensation. These corporate group tax managers have a negative attitudes towards an increased tax transparency.

近年來各國跨國企業利用對外投資控股架構設計進行租稅規劃，複雜的跨國結構安排導致各國稅基嚴重被侵蝕，引起各界關注，故了解跨國公司如何規劃其投資控股架構有其必要性。基於國內尚未有實證文獻探究國際租稅規劃對我國跨國公司投資控股架構決策之影響，因此本文針對2010年至2014年台灣上市櫃公司之海外關係企業目前投資控股架構進行研究，以了解我國對外投資的投資控股架構設計概況。此外，本文進一步探究跨國公司為了進行國際租稅規劃，不同租稅屬性的上下層公司是否確實會有相對應租稅特性之公司搭配形成控股連結。 本文建構兩個迴歸模型，採用Tobit模型進行實證分析。模型一分析基本租稅因素對於跨國控股連結之影響，實證結果顯示跨國控股連結設計會受到租稅協定、上下層公司所在國稅率差距影響。而模型二檢視國家組合間之租稅搭配相關變數對跨國控股連結的影響。結果顯示，上下層公司所在國的租稅環境確實會影響與其形成控股連結之所在國家的區位選擇。 / In the recent years, multinational corporations using the design of investment holding structure to do the tax planning. The complicated investment holding structure result in the tax base being damaged, and it draws the attentions of all walks of life. Therefore, there’s necessity to understand how the multinational corporations plan their investment holding structure. Due to the fact that there’s no literature which research the influence of international tax planning to our country’s multinational corporation investment holding structure decision have been proved. In order to understand how Taiwan’s multinational corporations plan their investment holding structure, we do the research against the investment holding structure of Taiwan’s listed companies from 2010 to 2014. Besides, we do the research more advanced on the international tax planning to see whether there will be companies with corresponded different tax characteristic that form an ownership links with the upper and lower companies of different tax characteristic. In this paper, we constructed two regression models, the Tobit random effect model is used to do the empirical analysis. The Model 1 analyzes the relation between the basic tax variable and the cross-border ownership links. The results indicate that the design of cross-border ownership links will be affected by tax treaty and the difference of tax rate between the upper and the lower countries. And the Model 2 examines the relation between tax collocation of country pair variables and cross-border ownership links. We found out that the tax environment where the upper and lower companies are located has truly affect the location choice of the country which the ownership link is linked to.

The research methodology is classified qualitatively and quantitatively; the first held by the literature and document review; effected by the second crossing of the information collected. With the combination of these techniques was possible to achieve the research objective. Most of the improper use of tax goodwill in corporate restructuring operations has been identified by the amount of tax credit released on assessments due by practitioners and companies planning abusive. However, this credit also reveals the importance of the use of goodwill in these operations if it were representative of a tax elision economy. The feared extinction of goodwill did not occur, but their deduction was maintained only for transactions that occurred between unrelated parties. / O objetivo da pesquisa ?? apurar o aproveitamento tribut??rio do ??gio nas opera????es de reorganiza????o societ??ria e a sua relev??ncia na tomada de decis??o pelas empresas.

In the first part, constitutional institutes concerning to the matter were carefully explored, with a special highlight for the lawfulness, tipicity and fiscal capacity principles. In addition, it was also subject to our review the defects of the legal transactions, since the majority of CARF decisions relies on them to disregard the acts conducted by taxpayers. From the empirical research, it was noted certain common qualities related to the sample of decisions under analysis, which revealed that transactions that imply on tax saving, structured through indirect legal acts, and performed within a short period of time and between related parties are likely significant characteristics at CARF s trials. Besides that, it called our attention the magnitude of influence that the so called business purpose has on the judgment process by CARF´s judges. The results suggest that, despite the discrepancy regarding the qualification of the illicit act (sham, fraud, abuse of rights, etc...), transactions with similar characteristics tend to have the same outcome when it comes to decision reasoning. In fact, the study supports that there is hegemony of use of the sham institute to base the disregard of acts, mostly on the grounds of lack of business purpose to justify the practice by taxpayers. At last, we critically analyzed the reasoning of such decisions based on pre-juridical criteria. We stressed our opinion that the assessment of the tax law should not depend on external factors, such as the time taken between the transactions, their parties or even the existence of such a subjective concept as business purpose, in breach of lawfulness and tipicity principles / Neste trabalho, apresentamos as conclusões da pesquisa jurisprudencial realizada junto ao Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais CARF, em casos envolvendo planejamento tributário, com o enfoque de identificar a fundamentação dessas decisões. Como ponto de partida, analisamos cuidadosamente os institutos constitucionais afetos à matéria, sendo especialmente destacados os princípios da legalidade, tipicidade e capacidade contributiva. Neste contexto, também foi objeto de estudo os vícios dos negócios jurídicos e institutos correlatos, já que a maioria das decisões do CARF os utiliza como fundamento para possibilitar a desconsideração de atos praticados pelos contribuintes. Neste contexto, da pesquisa empírica, pudemos notar a existência de certas características presentes nas decisões dos casos selecionados, que nos fizeram concluir que operações que impliquem economia de tributos, alcançadas por meio de negócios jurídicos indiretos, compostas por atos encadeados em curto espaço de tempo e realizados entre partes relacionadas são algumas das propriedades relevantes nos julgamentos da matéria pelo CARF. Além disso, nos chamou a atenção a magnitude de influência que o chamado propósito negocial tem sobre a tomada de decisão pelos julgadores do CARF. Foi possível notarmos que, a despeito de eventual discrepância com relação à tipificação do ilícito (simulação, fraude, abuso de direito e etc...), operações com características semelhantes tendem a ter suas decisões fundamentadas da mesma forma. Em realidade, o que pudemos concluir foi a hegemonia da utilização do instituto da simulação para embasar a desconsideração dos atos praticados, na maioria dos casos, sob o argumento de não haver propósito negocial apto a justificar a conduta realizada pelos contribuintes. Por fim, analisamos criticamente a fundamentação dessas decisões em critérios préjurídicos. Enfatizamos nossa opinião de que a incidência da norma jurídica tributária não deve depender de fatores externos ao Direito, tais como o tempo decorrido entre as operações, as partes que a realizaram ou até mesmo a existência ou não de conceito tão subjetivo como é o propósito negocial, sob pena de macularmos o princípio da legalidade e da tipicidade

To be indirect is the main characteristic, as others contributing on tax burden that falls on individuals. Excluding the goods its incidence, or consumer's payment, or the company making the transfer due to the coffers public is commonly known as the tax benefit. The main objective of this study, through analysis of financial statements of four industrial sector of the electronics industry - two large and two of smaller size - which benefit from the tax incentive granted by the Government the State of Minas Gerais under conditions previously established. The results obtained by means of indices revealed that companies focus resources in current assets, since the investment in fixed assets represent less than 50% of total operating assets. In addition, work with low net profit margins and low return on assets net operating assets and when one takes into account the average tariff of VAT / O Imposto Sobre Operações Relativas À Circulação de Mercadorias e Sobre Prestações de Serviços de Transporte Interestadual e Intermunicipal e de Comunicação ICMS, salvo disposição de Lei em contrário, é incluído no preço das mercadorias de uso e ou consumo e no preço dos serviços de transportes interestaduais e intermunicipais e de comunicação, de forma que atinge ao consumidor para o seu pagamento. Sua principal característica é a de ser indireto, dentre outros contribui com boa parcela da carga tributária que recai sobre os indivíduos.

Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar, por meio da análise das demonstrações contábeis de quatro empresas do setor industrial do ramo eletroeletrônico duas de grande porte e duas de porte menor beneficiárias do incentivo fiscal concedido pelo Governo do Estado de Minas Gerais mediante condições previamente estabelecidas. Os resultados apurados por meio de índices revelaram que as empresas concentram seus recursos no ativo circulante, visto que os investimentos em imobilizados representam menos que 50% do total do ativo operacional. Além disso, trabalham com reduzidas margens de lucro líquido, baixa rentabilidade do patrimônio líquido e do ativo operacional quando se leva em conta as alíquotas médias do ICMS que incidiu sobre as operações de saídas

This work has applied tax planning to logistics, more specifically, tax planning applied to the ICMS (Value Added Tax on Sales and Services) applicable to transportation services. Goal: To determine the less costly system between the ICMS credit systems generated by the purchases and that of 20% over the ICMS debt seen in the sales. In order to do so, tax planning was applied to the case study of a company within the goods transportation segment and the lower ICMS to be withheld was studied, having analyzed by State of the Country and having discussed the planning relevant variables. It also puts the case study into a context, approaching the tax planning concepts, ICMS legal aspects, logistics, transportation, goods transportation, the right to ICMS credit in both systems and it has presented a research that verifies which system is the most used by the goods transportation segment, and how ICMS credits are accounted for. It has concluded that the 20% granted credit system is the one that is less costly, in all States and months of the period analyzed, resulting in a withholding 10.3% lower in comparison to the other system, given the relevance of the difference variable between the purchases and sales rates in the planning. It has also concluded that the tax planning application enables the transportation operators to adopt, consciously, the best tax practices. It is an attitude that supports the logistic goal of making goods and services available at reasonable costs and the appropriate application of resources in the goods and services flows / Os serviços de transportes apresentam-se como elo fundamental da cadeia logística e demandam níveis consideráveis de recursos no processo de colocação de bens e serviços à disposição do consumidor final. Este trabalho aplicou planejamento tributário à logística, especificamente, planejamento tributário aplicado ao ICMS incidente nos serviços de transporte. Objetivo: Determinar a forma menos onerosa entre as sistemáticas de crédito de ICMS: Crédito de ICMS gerado pelas compras e a de 20% sobre o débito de ICMS apurado nas vendas. Para tanto, aplicou planejamento tributário no estudo de caso de uma empresa do ramo de transporte de valores e apurou a opção de menor ICMS a recolher, analisando por Estado da Federação e discutindo as variáveis relevantes do planejamento. Também contextualiza o estudo de caso, abordando os conceitos de planejamento tributário, contornos legais do ICMS, logística, transporte, transporte de valores, o direito a crédito de ICMS nas duas sistemáticas e apresentou pesquisa que afere qual a sistemática mais utilizada pelo setor de transporte de valores, e como se contabilizam os créditos de ICMS. Concluiu ser a sistemática do crédito outorgado de 20%, a de menor ônus tributário, em todos os Estados e meses do período em análise, resultando recolhimento 10,3% menor em relação a outra sistemática, pela relevância da variável diferença entre as alíquotas das compras e vendas no planejamento. Também concluiu-se que a aplicação do planejamento tributário permite aos operadores de transporte adotar, conscientemente, as melhores práticas tributárias. Atitude que corrobora com o objetivo logístico de disponibilizar bens e serviços a custos razoáveis e a aplicação adequada de recursos nos fluxos de mercadorias e serviços

As pesquisas que abordam a temática de planejamento tributário, nas últimas décadas, têm identificado que o tamanho das organizações é um fator determinante à adoção de práticas de planejamento tributário. No entanto, existe certa controvérsia, nessa questão, uma vez que as pesquisas têm encontrado relações tanto positivas quanto negativas entre o tamanho das organizações e o nível de planejamento tributário praticado. Os autores justificam essa relação partindo do pressuposto do custo reputacional, em que empresas maiores possuem maior monitoramento por parte da autoridade tributária e dos demais stakeholders. Outros argumentam que as empresas maiores possuem mais recursos e mais influência política para reduzirem suas cargas tributárias. Porém, ambas análises consideram uma relação linear entre o tamanho das empresas e o nível e planejamento tributário, ignorando particularidades econômicas, financeiras e operacionais das empresas. Tal assunção, considerando todas as empresas numa única amostra, pode-se levar a conclusões controversas, ao considerar que todas as empresas possuem as mesmas estruturas e estratégias ao longo do tempo. Desse modo, essa pesquisa tem por objetivo identificar se o estágio de ciclo de vida organizacional impacta o nível de planejamento tributário. Assim, entende-se que a Teoria do Ciclo de Vida Organizacional distingue as empresas pelas suas estruturas e estratégias adotadas, a exemplo do modelo proposto por Dickinson (2011) o qual classifica os estágios de ciclo de vida a partir da necessidade e disponibilidade de recursos, por meio dos sinais dos fluxos de caixa (operacional, de investimento e de financiamento). Assim, espera-se compreender melhor a relação entre o nível de planejamento tributário e as decisões de endividamento, de intensidade de capital, de investimento em capital de giro e a interação dos mecanismos de governança corporativa nos diferentes estágios de ciclo de vida. Para a realização das análises empíricas foram empregados testes de Kruskal Wallis, regressões de dados em painel e regressões quantílicas com dados anuais das empresas brasileiras de capital aberto que compuseram o índice IBrX 100 da BM&FBOVESPA, no período de 2008 a 2015. Os resultados apontam que as empresas em estágios inicias e avançados de ciclo de vida organizacional possuem maiores níveis de planejamento tributário do que as empresas em estágio de maturidade. Considerando as métricas de planejamento tributário ETR Corrente, BTD e DVA, por ciclo de vida, nos testes de Kruskal Wallis, obteve-se que as empresas em estágios iniciais possuem níveis maiores de planejamento tributários do que as empresas da maturidade. Já nos estágios Avançados, constatou-se que as métricas ETR Corrente, Cash ETR e DVA também apresentam níveis maiores de planejamento tributário do que as empresas maduras. As análises por meio de regressões quantílicas reafirmam esses resultados, para as métricas de BTD e de ETR Corrente. Esses achados remetem à conclusão de que empresas em estágios iniciais possuem menores custos reputacionais devido a maior propensão ao risco, em virtude da sua participação de mercado ainda não estar consolidada. Já as empresas em estágios avançados, dadas as baixas oportunidades de investimento, adotam estratégias menos defensivas, uma vez que nesses estágios não dispõem de condições financeiras e econômicas favoráveis para captar recursos, pois os ativos já estão depreciados e não servem como garantia real. Portanto, as adoções de planejamento tributário nas empresas analisadas indicam que há uma relação entre as particularidades econômicas e financeiras das empresas, classificadas pelos estágios de ciclo de vida, com as estratégias tributárias adotadas para a obtenção de economia fiscal. / Research addressing the issue of tax planning in recent decades, have identified that the size of the organizations is a determining factor for the adoption of tax planning practices. However, there is some controversy in this matter, since research has found both positive and negative relationship between the size of organizations and tax planning practiced. The authors explain this relationship assuming the reputational cost, where larger firms have greater monitoring by the tax authority and other stakeholders. Others argue that larger companies have more resources and more political influence to reduce their tax burdens. However, both research suggests a linear relationship between the size of companies and the level and tax planning, ignoring economic, financial and operational peculiarities of the company. Such an assumption, considering all companies in a single sample, can lead to controversial conclusions, considering that all companies have the same structures and strategies over time. Thus, this research aims to identify the organizational life cycle stage impacts the level of tax planning. Thus, it is understood that the Organizational Life Cycle Theory recognizes companies for their structures and strategies adopted, such as the model proposed by Dickinson (2011) which classifies the stages of life cycle from the need and availability of resources through the signs of the cash flows (operating, investing and financing). Therefore, we hope to better understand the relationship between the level of tax planning and borrowing decisions, capital intensity, investment in working capital and the interaction of corporate governance mechanisms in different stages of life cycle. To carry out the empirical analysis were used Kruskal Wallis test, regressions in data panel and quantile regressions using annual data of Brazilian public companies that composed the IBrX 100 from BM&FBOVESPA, in the period 2008 to 2015. The results show that companies in initial and advanced stages of organizational life cycle have higher tax planning levels than companies in the maturity stage. Considering the tax planning metrics ETR, BTD and DVA by life cycle, in the Kruskal Wallis test was found that the companies in early stages have higher levels of tax planning than the mature companies. Already in the Advanced stages, it was found that the metrics ETR Current, Cash ETR and DVA also have higher levels of tax planning than mature companies. Analyses by quantile regressions reaffirm these results to the metrics of BTD and ETR current. These findings refer to the conclusion that companies in early stages have lower costs reputational due to higher propensity for risk, by virtue of its market share has not yet been consolidated. The companies in advanced stages, given the low investment opportunities, adopt less defensive strategies, since these stages do not have the financial and economic conditions favorable to raise funds because the assets are already depreciated and do not serve as collateral. Therefore, the adoption of tax planning in the analyzed companies indicate that there is a relationship between economic and financial characteristics of companies, classified by the stages of life cycle, with tax strategies adopted to achieve tax savings.
