The data were analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression techniques. The results showed a negative significant relationship between CLP and effective tax rate. Based on this the study recommends that CLP should form an integrated aspect of corporate activity for its inhibiting role in tax avoidance. The disclosure of CSR activities and further enforcement by the government that organisations implement environmental remediation activities. These include funding of activities which are related to costs incurred to prevent or compensate for injuries from corporate activities.
