and customary point of view which transfers wealth from government to shareholders.

As with, an important specification of great and modern companies is to separate

ownership from management. In agency theoretical framework, current researches

hypothesize that activities tax avoidance give opportunities behaviours to management.

In this research, some of effective factors on avoidance from taxation of companies

accepted in Tehran stock exchange were considered. Time period is 5 years from 2011

to 2015. The results obtained hypothesis which were financial information 515 years-

companies were performed by E-views software and indicated that meaningful

relationship is seen between financial leverage, yield of assets, company size and age

of company with avoidance from taxation in companies accepted in Tehran Stock

Exchange.

Keywords: Tax Avoidance, Accounting Variables, Tehran Stock Exchange

Introduction

Today, because of extension of economic activities, financial markets and

affluence investment in capital markets especially stock exchange by real and

role in human life and advanced society uses information more and better. Of

factors advancement in developed society is optimum and effective accurate

information. Multidimensional researches on stock exchange and accurate

conclusion can realize growth and flourishing the markets. World valid exchanges

showed that had successful to supply and collect capital and this are due to trust

of shareholders to capital and efficiency markets as if they ensure that their

capitals did not waste and obtained reasonable interests. Research on different

items effective on stock markets can help accurate decision and devotion of

economic resources can be done as suitable and investment is better (Ghaemi et

al, 2003). From past to now, the managers are tried to minimize effective rate of

tax in long term in regard to tax Management. If manager can reduce effective

rate of tax in long term and pay less tax, manage it. Better done, better

performance for management because it results to increment net interest after tax

and reduce output cash flow from tax. Tax avoidance is activity based on value

which transmits wealth from government to shareholders and constrains payment

of tax, in other side; tax avoidance can establish a barrier for manager’ deviation

(Khodamipour and Amininia, 2013).

Research Problem

As you know, the best income resource to develop infrastructure is tax which

helps investment to develop roads, establish dams, transport terminal,

communication roads and develop water and electricity distribution and energy.

Reform of tax system is one of the seven sections for economic variation for

perspective document for 1404 which attracts authorities. To keep aloof from

economy based on income due to oil and manage country by income due to tax

needs development in different dimensions which increase efficiency,

employment, quality of products and investment are regarded as most important

cases. Although, tax avoidance can prepare opportunity that don’t perform tax

avoidance activities in order to increase company value and develop opportunities

actions in order to not disclose new in company (Desamla and Dhampala, 2009).

Fortunately, our country understood that development and promotion is on tax

because having social justice is realized with tax justice. In order to control

inflation and reduce class distance in society, tax shall be imposed as accurately

and there is modern and comprehensive law which can cover all resources and

hypothesize on size of tax incomes. Variation in state tax system is so important

that it was emphasized as second step after targeting subsides. Also, in framework

of tax system, tax added value law is stated which its operation was our long term

dream and fortunately since September 2008, this law was enacted and could

show its effects and benefits in society. From experts and economic authorities

point of view on economic policies to reduce dependence government to oil

incomes and lean to tax and increase medium rate of tax to accelerate economic

process and obtain tax as for its specification are necessities and in this regard,

one of the strategies to increase volume of tax incomes is to identify and

derivation tax evasion and prevent and reduce tax evasion. In order to respond the

needs in tax organizations, many global organizations and professional experts

believe that developments in calculations (use of advanced statistical methods and

econometric) and use of new accounting methods like random auditing methods

and auditing based on risk are effective factors in prevent from tax evasion and

other non-compliance cases. It is claimed that tax auditing system based on risk

can devote resources of tax organization optimally and increase tax compliance

by concentrating upon tax payers with high risk. Confidence and trust of tax

payers is reduced severely. Income statement is unreal. It is not possible to

investigate and audit because of lacking sufficient information in files. Thus,

some of most important problems in state tax system are as follows:

Mass and increasing volume for tax statements

Lacking pre-auditing for tax audit

Time limitation in order to investigate statements

Lacking compilation criterion to investigate

Limitation for human force

Bias judgment in tax recognition

Failure to provide statements by tax payers needs to obtain new strategy in regard

to remove said problems, in Iran, as for special economic situations and cultural

and social indicators; it needs suitable audit system based on risk of price of real

value. Tax audit based on risk was not considered more in Iran and according to

our knowledge, a few researches were done and according to it, the article tries to

offer a method to select and identify tax payers in terms of tax risk that means

probable tax instruments.

Research Objectives

The results can be used by al managers and those involved in Tehran Stock

Exchange, experts of capital market, shareholders, investors, researchers and

scientific community that ate following future research pertain to subject.

Research Methodology

According to aim, scientific researchers are divided into three fundamental,

applied and scientific. This research is applied from aim point of view and it is

post-event by collecting data and it is descriptive from method collecting and

inferential mode.

Analysis Data

Statistical population consists of all participants accepted in Tehran Stock

Exchange which have following conditions:

They had not financial periodical changes during time period

They are not Investment companies, financial intermediation, bank and leasing

Data are available

The companies are active during research time

In this research, companies affiliated to statistical population are as statistical

sample and those companies are not deserved above conditions are deleted.

Inferential Statistical Method and Test of Hypothesis

In this research, in order to test hypothesis, panel data were used. Since use of

econometric method encounters with inefficiency and incompatibility models,

thus, in order to analyse data, panel data were used on results pertain to estimation

models.

Appropriate Model to estimate Model

As for literature and nature of hypothesis, panel data were used. In order to

determine appropriate model to test hypothesis, Chaw and Limer F test have been

used. In this research, two regression models were used to test of hypothesis.

avoidance (p=0/009). Since probable value of yield of assets was less than 0/05,
