This paper empirically examines whether the tax effect of indirect tax reductions such as reserves deductible and direct tax reductions such as tax credits and tax reductions is significantly associated with value relevance. That is, direct and indirect tax reductions bear upon an increase in accounting earnings and decrease in cash outflows through reducing tax burdens. The empirical result in this paper shows that firm value is significantly related to the tax effect of reserves for business improvement and other tax reserves, which comprise parts of the book value of equity through tax benefits, but is not significantly related to the tax credits and reserves deductible as necessary expenses that comprise accounting earnings. This paper also analyzes the difference in value relevance between direct tax reductions and indirect tax reductions(That is, Hypothesis No.5). We find that there are no significant differences between direct tax reductions and indirect tax reductions. Because the regressive coefficients of direct tax reductions and indirect tax reductions are not significantly.
