Summary:

This excellent study of how alternative tax strategies work in China is an important contribution both to our understanding of corporate tax management in China and in other countries at a similar level of development. —Professor Dwight H. Perkins, Harvard University, USA This book presents a rigorous and in-depth study on the important topic of corporate tax management in the context of China, which makes it a highly valuable reading for policy makers, business leaders, and anyone who is interested in the performance of enterprises in China. —Professor Xiaolan Fu, Oxford University, United Kingdom This book focuses on corporate sector development in the context of transition economies, such as China. In doing so, the book uses quantitative methods to test several hypotheses that are salient to the Chinese economic situation. Topics covered in the book include the relationship between tax management and firm performance, the extent to which a short-term focus on tax management can lead to long-term vulnerabilities, the impact of government ownership on tax management impact, and the link between the co-evolution of marketization and corruption, and institutional change and tax management. With that the book offers rich empirical evidence to examine tax management, firm performance and corruption in a broad context, while permitting comparison between the Chinese experience and the market economies.
