摘要:

   Environmental taxation aims to improve firms’ environmental performance bincreasing the cost of polluting. We find that highly polluting Chinese firms increase income taxavoidance to offset additional costs caused by China's Environmental Protection Tax Law. Thiseffect is stronger for firms with greater financial constraints. firms in provinces with higheienvironmental tax rates and greater emphasis on environmental protection and firms with lowerncome tax avoidance prior to the law. Further, while the environmental tax on average improvespolluting firms'environmental performance at the cost of their financial performance. these effectsare muted for firms that increase income tax avoidance. Overall, our findings suggest that the roleof environmental taxation in promoting environmental sustainability 1s undermined by frmsincome tax avoicance. Our study provides important policymaking implcations by identifying arunintended consequence of environmental taxation and showing how different taxes interact witheach other.
