Abstract
ABSTRACT This analysis examines firm-specific determinants of the effective tax rate of German limited liability companies. The effective tax rate is calculated by considering the local trade tax, corporate profit tax, and solidarity tax for 9,318 firms from 2020 based on the Orbis data base. Our findings demonstrate a inverse u-shape relationship between the effective tax rate and firm size. Furthermore, companies with major shareholders tend to have lower tax rates, while those with a supervisory board tend to pay higher tax rates on average. These findings are consistent with the theoretical considerations on tax aggressiveness.
