These indicators aim to alert stake-holders to potential profit-shifting actions between countries, resulting in an overall reduction in tax burden for companies committed to Social Responsibility.

Given the preliminary and indicative nature of these indicators, cases with significantly misaligned values should prompt a more in-depth analysis of the information related to those specific jurisdictions. This information is often found in the sustainability reports of various companies, representing a fruitful avenue for future research. Este estudio presenta un conjunto innovador de indicadores de riesgo, basados exclusivamente en la información país por país requerida por el estándar GRI 207-4 para el impuesto a la renta de empresas multinacionales que presentan reportes de Responsabilidad Social. Se brinda así una alerta inicial a los grupos de interés sobre posibles acciones de traslado de beneficios entre países que reducen la carga tributaria total. Los indicadores se diseñaron análogamente a los utilizados por los Fiscos para ese mismo fin y se concentran en posibles niveles relativos exageradamente altos de rentabilidad sobre distintos parámetros observados en países con baja tasa efectiva de tributación. El trabajo incluye una prueba piloto de dichos indicadores, utilizando datos públicos proporcionados por el grupo Shell, una de las pocas empresas multinacionales que ha adoptado tempranamente el estándar GRI 207, abarcando el conjunto de los períodos de 2018 a 2022. El principal aporte del trabajo consiste en la reducción y sistematización de la abrumadora cantidad de datos que aportan los informes país por país, brindando a los grupos de interés una herramienta ágil para el señalamiento inicial de posibles traslados de beneficios. Dado su carácter preliminar e indiciario, los casos en que se obtengan valores no alineados en exceso deberán dar lugar a un análisis más profundo de la información referida a esas jurisdicciones en particular contenida en los reportes de sostenibilidad de las distintas empresas, lo que constituye uno de los campos más fructíferos para futuros estudios.
