يهدف هذا البحث إلى تقصي أثر كل من حجم الشركات السورية المساهمة و هيكل رأسمالها (الديون) على مستوى تهربها الضريبي. منطلقاً في ذلك من دراسات سابقة أشارت إلى احتمال وجود علاقة ما بين خصائص الشركات و معدل الضرائب الفعال الخاص بها، و بالتالي بينها و بين مستوى تهربها الضريبي. و لتحقيق هذا الهدف تم إجراء مسح على الشركات السورية المساهمة المسجلة في هيئة الأوراق و الأسواق المالية السورية، باستخدام البيانات الثانوية، و في إطار دراسة اتجاهية تمتد من عام 2009 إلى 2014. أظهرت نتائج البحث عدم وجود علاقة ما بين حجم الشركات السورية المساهمة و مستوى تهربها الضريبي، إلا أنها خلصت إلى أن انخفاض حجم الديون في هيكل رأسمال الشركات (ممثلاً بالرافعة المالية) يترافق مع انخفاض في مستوى معدل الضرائب النقدي الفعال، و بالتالي ارتفاع في مستوى التهرب الضريبي.
This research aims to investigate the impact of both the size of Syrian corporations and its capital structure on its level of tax avoidance. This study starts from number of previous studies which have indicated the possibility of a relationship between corporations characteristics and its effective tax rate, and thus between them and the level of tax avoidance. In order To achieve this goal, a survey study has been conducted on the Syrian registered corporations in the Syrian commission on financial markets and securities using secondary data with quasi-experimental design for the period from 2009 to 2014. The results of this research showed that there is no relation between the size of Syrian corporations and its level of tax Avoidance. However, it concluded that the decline in the debt volume of the corporate capital structure (represented by the leverage) is associated with a decrease in the level of effective cash tax rate and thus an increase in the level of tax avoidance.

structure. The results also reveal that the Syrian crisis had a positive effect on the level of
social responsibility disclosure, as these firms increased disclosure of social responsibility
