我们分析了跨国公司如何在其子公司之间重新分配真实的业务和债务,以应对反避税政策。英国在2010年引入了全球债务上限,这是一个准自然的实验,限制了一批跨国公司的利息扣除。我们发现,受改革影响的跨国公司减少了在英国持有的债务金额,增加了在国外持有的债务。受影响的跨国公司将一部分真实的业务从英国转移出去。我们的研究结果为跨国公司内部的税收动机债务和真实的活动重新分配提供了因果证据,并展示了跨国公司如何规避避税法规。
We analyze how multinational firms reallocate real operations and debt across their affiliates in response to anti-tax avoidance policies. The UK introduced a worldwide debt cap in 2010, generating a quasi-natural experiment that limited interest deductibility for a group of multinational firms. We find that multinationals affected by the reform reduced the amount of debt held in the UK and increased debt held abroad. Affected multinationals reallocated a share of their real operations away from the UK. Our findings provide causal evidence for tax-motivated debt and real activity reallocation within multinationals and show how multinationals can circumvent tax avoidance regulations.
