报告简介：

Tax avoidance activities are complex; effective planning of these activities requires a mix of functional knowledge in business together with a good understanding of a firm’s operations. Armed with hands-on experience on running the business of their firms and experience of other firms through their outside directorship appointments, certified inside directors (CIDs) have the ability to structure and execute tax avoidance activities for their firms. Overall, I find that firms with CIDs on board avoid more taxes. At the same time, only CIDs with no more than 3 outside directorships help firm save taxes. This study also supports that CIDs in complex firms and firms with bad environmental corporate social responsibility (CSR) avoid more taxes. This research extends the literature about corporate governance in general and inside directors in particular by examining whether CIDs can help firms save taxes.
