<p style="text-align:justify;">This&nbsp;study explores the relationship between tax aggressiveness and foreign capital participation in Brazilian companies listed on the BM &amp; F BOVESPA from 2010 to 2015, using&nbsp;the concept of tax aggressiveness as a reduction of taxable income through tax&nbsp;management and planning (Chen et al., 2010). Observing that previous studies&nbsp;show a significant relationship between tax aggressiveness and ownership&nbsp;structures, this research seeks to understand whether this relationship is&nbsp;significant if there is foreign capital participation in the company. The&nbsp;sample was composed of Brazilian companies listed on the BM&amp;F BOVESPA. Two&nbsp;metrics of tax aggressiveness were used to investigate this relationship:&nbsp;effective tax rate (ETR) and book-tax difference (BTD). The use of these&nbsp;metrics was inspired in a review on tax research by Hanlon and Heitzman (2010),&nbsp;who concluded that ETR and BTD could capture the reduction of taxable income&nbsp;through tax planning. The results showed no significant relationship between&nbsp;foreign capital participation and tax aggressiveness, demonstrating that the&nbsp;origin of equity capital is not a factor of tax aggressiveness.</p>
