Analyze the impact of the transition from business tax to VAT on the tax burden of transport enterprises in various regions of China

Abstract

In recent years, the transportation industry has enjoyed the benefits brought about by changes in the national tax policy. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of the change from Business Tax to Value-Added Tax (BT-to-VAT) on the tax burden of transport enterprises in various regions of China. Based on the cross-regional characteristics of the transportation industry, China is divided into four regions: eastern, central, western and northeast. Research hypothesis – the tax reduction effect of the BT-to-VAT tax burden is not only related to the characteristics of the enterprise itself, but also related to the regional environment and market integration factors of China. Using the Difference in differences (DID) method, the data covers 22 listed companies from 2009 to 2020. The paper analyzes the internal characteristics of the enterprise itself, the influence of the external environment and the degree of industrial integration on the enterprise, and the reasons for the difference. Empirical research shows that BT-to-VAT reduces the tax burden of enterprises, the eastern region has the least impact on the ratio of corporate income tax expenses to operating income, while the central and western regions have relatively greater impacts. The scale of the enterprise and the level of economic development have a positive effect on the financial efficiency of the enterprise, while the non-current assets ratio and the degree of market integration have a negative effect on the tax burden. This research is beneficial to provide reference for enterprises in different regions to improve their management and to formulate macro policies by relevant national departments.

Empirical study on the impact of tax reduction on the development of Chinese green energy industry

“…Wagner AF et al [ 36 ] suggested that implementing tax cuts for firms with a higher tax burden can lead to more benefits. Ma J et al [ 37 ] used the difference-in-difference (DID) method with data covering 22 listed companies from 2009 to 2020, and the empirical study showed that BT to VAT reduces the tax burden of companies. Isik S, Özbuğday FC [ 38 ] tested whether tax cuts would reduce fertilizer prices by DID and the results showed that consumers would benefit from the tax cuts.…”

Educación tributaria en la colectividad: un estudio exploratorio de las necesidades organizacionales en el cantón La Maná

“…El cumplimiento tributario se define como algo complejo que se ve desde muchas perspectivas. Ma et al (2022) afirmó que el cumplimiento tributario significa reportar ingresos de acuerdo con las normas tributarias, reportar declaraciones de impuestos y pagar impuestos de manera oportuna. Okpeyo et al (2019a) mencionaron que puede definirse como una situación en la que los contribuyentes ejercen sus derechos tributarios y cumplen con sus obligaciones tributarias.…”

“…Las sanciones tributarias como garantía de lo dispuesto en las normas tributarias o normas tributarias deben ser acatadas para que los contribuyentes continúen con lo dispuesto en las normas (Ma et al, 2022). Las sanciones administrativas y las sanciones penales están destinadas a que en el futuro los contribuyentes no vuelvan a cometer los mismos errores.…”

The Influence of Tax Incentive Policy on the Development of Alternative Fuel Vehicle Enterprises—Taking Chinese Companies as an Example

“…China's dependence on imports of oil and natural gas has increased year by year, and has risen to 73% and 43% in 2020. At the same time, automobiles are the main contributor to the total pollutant emissions [1]. The emergence of alternative fuel vehicles can make a significant contribution to solving resource and environmental protection problems, and the government has also actively launched various preferential policies to support it.…”
