Abstract
Recent evidence shows that activities to minimize value added taxes (VAT) have become important to overall tax reduction planning. Utilizing the sample of companies in the United Kingdom that have contested their VAT burdens in the courts for 2004 through 2009, the characteristics of companies that engage in such VAT minimization activities are identified. Companies that engage in such VAT minimization activities exhibit statistically significant lower effective tax rates (ETRs) and cash effective tax rates (CETRs). They also have statistically significant larger book-tax differences (BTDs).
