Abstract

The objectives of this research are to test the value relevance of taxable income applied from the valuation model of Ohlson (1995) and to study the impact of corporate income tax planning on the value relevance of taxable income of firms listed in the Market for Alternative Investment (MAI), excluding financial segments. Data was collected during 2020-2021 (totally 339 firm-year observations). It was analyzed with percentage, mean, standard deviation, multiple correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that no statistically significant relationship between taxable income and stock price. It implied that taxable income is not a factor in determining the stock price. However, if taxable income is used jointly with book income and book value of equity, it will have value relevance significantly and can explain stock price better. Additionally, the findings showed that corporate income tax planning is a moderating variable that impairs the value relevance of taxable income to investor decision-making.
