چکیده

هدف: این پژوهش بررسی می‌کند که آیا شرکت‌ها و مدیران ارشد آنها هزینه‌های شهرت ناشی از درگیر شدن در فعالیت‌های اجتناب از پرداخت مالیات را در هنگام تصمیم‌گیری در نظر می‌گیرند یا خیر.
روش: داده‌های خام مربوط به 119 شرکت در بازه زمانی ۷ سال، طی سال‌های 2015 تا 2021 از میان شرکت‌های پذیرفته شده در بورس اوراق‌بهادار کشورهای منتخب واقع در خلیج‌فارس شامل ایران، قطر، عمان، کویت و عربستان سعودی انتخاب گردید. جهت تعیین ریسک شهرت (متغیر مستقل) این شرکت‌ها از رتبه‌بندی شرکت‌ها توسط سازمان مدیریت صنعتی در ایران و رتبه‌بندی در کشورهای عربی توسط مجله معتبر فوربس استفاده گردید. صرفه‌جویی نقدی مالیات (متغیر وابسته) از طریق نرخ مؤثر مالیات نقدی اندازه‌گیری و تأثیر ریسک شهرت بر آن از طریق مدل رگرسیون مورد بررسی قرار گرفت.
یافتهها: یافته‌های پژوهش حاکی از ارتباط معنادار بین صرفه‌جویی نقدی مالیات و ریسک (هزینه) شهرت می‌باشد.
نتیجهگیری: براساس نتایج حاصل از آزمون فرضیه تحقیق، برخی از شرکت‌ها در هنگام استفاده از استراتژی‌های مربوط به اجتناب از پرداخت مالیات به هزینه‌های ناشی از آسیب رسیدن به شهرت شرکت نیز توجه نموده و از آن دوری می‌نمایند و یا کمتر درگیر اجتناب از پرداخت مالیات می‌گردند.
دانشافزایی: با توجه به اینکه پژوهش‌های اندکی در زمینه ریسک و هزینه‌های شهرت مرتبط با مسائلی همچون مالیات انجام‌شده است؛ این مطالعه می‌تواند منجر به بسط و غنای این موضوع و توسعه ادبیات تحقیق در این بخش گردد. علاوه بر آن توجه محققین و مدیران در بخش‌های مالیاتی را به موضوع اعتبار شرکت را جلب نماید.
