ABSTRACT

This research is motivated by the global trends that indicate many countries (especially OECD member countries) are competing to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows through the adaptation of the tax rate policies that encourage harmful tax competition issues.

The focus of this study is to analyze the impact of reciprocal influence or causality relationship (two-way) between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Statutory Tax Rate (STR) in 20 OECD member countries. This study uses secondary data with documentation techniques and content analysis. The sample in this study is consists of 20 OECD member countries with a research period of 30 years, starting from 1989 to 2018. The test is conducted

by analyzing granger causality to see the causality (reciprocity) relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Statutory Tax Rate (STR). Processing data is using STATA 12.0 software. The results of the Granger causality test shows that there is a reciprocal influence (two-way) or commonly referred to as the causality relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Statutory Tax Rate. The governments policy in determining the tax rate becomes an added value to support the investors decision on transferring FDI to the country.
