摘 要: | Apart from examining whether an asset's qualification for discounted tax treatment is associated with positive abnormal trading volumes and negative abnormal returns, as would be predicted if investors modified their behaviour to reduce their tax liability, this paper analyses the behaviour of investors due to market sentiment which is measured with the stock prices or index. Analyzing the 152 IPOs that had their prices appreciated, the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) concession is expected to change the behavior of the investor; they might wait till the end of 12 months in order to avail the option and then sell their asset leading to an abnormal increase in the volume of trading and hence a price change. Apart from this, how commodity taxes influence revenue earnings is studied. As the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of China grows rapidly, tax revenue as a proportion of GDP will not be a predictable relationship. It is ultimately investor behaviour that determined volume of investment and therefore revenue earnings. The reason that CGT is taken as a backdrop to show the fickle nature of K gains across national policy sets up, affected by investor behavior or otherwise.
