内容预告：

Excess input VAT cannot be refunded in China, causes huge financial burden for the firms to run. Using a merged listed firms’ data, this paper explores how the listed firms manage the output VAT recognition to minimize the cashflow lockup. We find that firms with substantial input VAT carryovers will seek ways to increase their output VAT credits through related-party transactions (RPTs), which accounts for 10% of the RPTs in China. The result is more pronounced for financial constraint firms and exists only when the related party has capacity to deduct the input carryovers of listed firms. When China allowed the refund of excess input VAT since 2018, we do find the RPTs decrease significantly in the piloted industries.
