Abstract/Summary

Tax avoidance, incorporated as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) issue, has become a global concern. Prior studies conducted in the western countries find mixed results on the relationship between CSR and tax avoidance. This study examines the empirical impact of the overall CRS and its categories, governance, community, employees and environment, to a company's level of tax avoidance in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines or what is know as the ASEAN 5. Employing a sample of 159 companies form the CSRHuB, our results suggest that various relationships exist in the individual categories thereby affecting the impact of the overall CRS to tax avoidance.
