Abstract

This paper aims to empirically examine how sustainability performance moderates the relation between tax avoidance and CSR through board gender diversity. The structural equation modeling is applied to test the relation between sustainability performances, CSR and tax avoidance for a panel data set of 300 UK business firms listed during 2005 2017. The results show that sustainability performance moderates the relationship between corporate social responsibility and tax avoidance. Thus, this study demonstrates empirically that firms with sustainability performance activities are better positioned to obtain more transparency through reducing tax avoidance. The originality of this paper consists in proposing the establishment of both direct and indirect links between SP, CSR and tax avoidance.
