Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of tax planning on company value of listed companies in Vietnam, using the secondary data from audited financial reporting and other statistical documents of 513 non-financial companies in the period of 2015 – 2019. According to GLS, the research result shows that the tax planning has a positive effect on company value. In addition, state ownership, capital intensive and company size are control variables having a positive impact on firm value, but financial leverage is not. The findings suggest that financial managers should apply SAVANT framework and concentrate on fixed assets allocation and tax benefit of company size instead of leverage or high state ownership.
