本研究旨在探討財務危機公司於危機發生前與危機解除後在財務會計所得和課稅所得差異(以下簡稱財稅差異)與正常公司之間的關聯性。相較過去有關財務危機公司與盈餘管理之研究;本文採用陳明進 (2009)所建立的當期應付所得稅額推估公式計算出企業之課稅所得額,且將上市櫃公司財務報告書中相關所得稅揭露資料逐一建檔,並以裁決性應計數探討財務危機公司於財稅差異背後是否隱含盈餘管理或避稅之行為。實證結果顯示,在將財稅差異區分為正向與負向財稅差異後,發現財務危機公司在危機發生前和危機解除後較傾向使用裁決性應計數造成正向財稅差異以及較小的負向財稅差異。最後,在進行敏感性分析後發現除了危機發生前與危機解除後之結果與主測試一致之外,財務危機公司於危機發生前之正向財稅所得差異相較於危機解除後有較大之趨勢。
The research investigates the association between financial distress companies and normal companies in book-tax difference before the distress happened or after the distress relived. Different to the past research, this research adopt the estimative formul of acurrent tax payable to calculate the taxable income established by Chen (2009), and filing the disclousure tax information in financial reporting of public companies, and investigate whether the financial distress companies in book-tax difference have earnings management or tax shelter behaviors with discretionary accruals. The results find the financial distress companies tend to use the discretionary accruals in positive book-tax difference and lower negative book-tax difference when the distress happened and relived. Finanally, after sensitive analyzing finds that the positive book-tax difference before the distress happened is larger than the distress relived.
