Résumé :	This study extends the literature by examining the relationship between the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and tax avoidance. Based on a sample of 614 companies from 15 European-Union countries over the period of 2002-2015, we find that, on average, socially responsible firms are more involved in tax-avoidance activities than the less responsible ones. In addition, we investigate how different CSR activities affect corporate tax avoidance. More interestingly, our results show that a strong activity in the economic, environmental, social and corporate-governance dimensions is associated with a high level of tax avoidance, indicating that CSR and tax avoidance are complementary strategies.
