六、 报告摘要：
This study examines the relation between U.S. money laundering and corporate tax avoidance. We find that money laundering is significantly positively related to tax avoidance. In additional analysis, we find that tax haven utilization, internal control weakness and director corruption magnify the positive relation between money laundering and tax avoidance. Finally, we also observe that money laundering is significantly positively related to tax avoidance in states with high social capital, while our main finding of a significant positive relation between money laundering and tax avoidance holds irrespective of whether states rank high/low on litigation risk or corruption, or firms rank high/low on corporate governance. Overall, this study extends prior tax avoidance research by exploring the broader state-level cultural, institutional and economic effects of where firms are headquartered on their tax planning activities.
