Abstract
An extensive body of the literature has examined the determinants of individual giving to charity. Indeed, the role of the personal income tax continues to attract considerable attention. In contrast, very few have explored the effects of taxes on corporate giving. This paper represents an attempt to fill this void. It employs a large sample of corporate tax returns and finds that taxes are an important consideration in corporate giving.
