Abstract:
This study aims to determine the influence of fiscal aggressiveness in the cost of debt in companies listed on the BM&FBOVESPA in the period 2009 to 2014. As a methodology, the research was analyzed using data on fixed effects panel. It is hoped a direct relationship between the tax aggressiveness and the cost of debt. This relationship is based on the risk perception of lenders in the face of tax planning practices, emphasizing issues such as agency and conflict management results. Lenders demand a funding cost of resources proportional to the anticipated risk, those companies that show lower level of fiscal aggressiveness. In response to the risk of possible tax contingencies, it requires a higher cost of debt. The research showed that less aggressive companies bear higher cost of debt. This result indicates that creditors analyze the level of tax avoidance, indicating the smaller the tax aggressiveness, higher the level of cost of debt.
