Abstract
Utilizing data extracted from Chinese A-share listed companies during the period from 2013 to 2021, this study employs the merging of national taxation bureau and local taxation bureau as a quasi-natural experiment. Applying the Difference-in-Differences (DID) methodology, we explore the influence of the consolidated tax administration on corporate tax avoidance and perform rigorous validation tests. Empirical findings indicate that the integration of national and local tax bureaus can improve the transparency of tax source information, significantly reduce the extent of corporate tax evasion. This research enriches our understanding of the microeconomic effects of the consolidation of national and local tax bureaus, offering new empirical evidence to support further reforms in tax administration.
