Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of institutional environment and inside ownership on the tax reporting practices of Chinese listed firms. Design/methodology/approach – It is an empirical study using a sample of Chinese listed firms for eight years of time periods between 1998 and 2005. Findings – This study finds that in Chinese provinces with more developed institutions, firms have higher effective tax rates; however, firms with inside ownership in these regions have lower effective tax rates. Further analysis shows that the above results hold only for non‐state‐owned firms. Originality/value – The paper presents the first study of the impact of inside ownership and institutional environment on corporate effective tax rate in China.
