Abstract

The tax burden of state-owned enterprises has been widely disputed under the intervention of the government, and the tax collection and management audit can effectively restrain the intervention of local governments. Therefore, this paper theoretically analyzes the impact of audit management system reform on the tax burden of state-owned enterprises and the mechanism of action. The research shows that the audit reform has a catalytic effect on reducing the tax burden of local state-owned enterprises, which is mainly reflected in the reduction of the circulation tax burden of local state-owned enterprises, and the reduction of the tax burden of state-owned enterprises by reducing the degree of local government intervention.
