| Summary: | Family-owned businesses have paramount social and economic importance worldwide since they represent almost 90 % of businesses in various regions, generate more than half of the employment and produce more than two-thirds of the Gross Domestic Product in many countries. Decisions are based on their commercial experience and knowledge of their customer base. However, they must also employ a fiscal strategy to ensure their subsistence, since they face each more competitive and unpredictable environment. The objective of this research was to show the intention to use tax strategies by family businesses in the municipality of El Mante, located in Southern Tamaulipas, Mexico, and its relationship with the entrepreneurial, legal, and managerial knowledge of their owners. Responses were collected through a direct interview with the business owners or the CEO. Additionally, a questionnaire with validated Likert scales was used, and the recommended statistical tests were administered. Findings indicate that there is sufficient mastery of entrepreneurs in areas such as the management of the family business, regulations and actors related to trade, as well as a sufficient degree of agreement regarding the intention to use fiscal strategies and business plans, competencies that can be increased by working for the family business. The main finding is the evidence of a weak correlation between the legal and managerial knowledge of family business owners with the use of tax strategies, as well as a very weak correlation with entrepreneurial knowledge. The intention to use tax strategies requires such knowledge by business owners, who make decisions based on family’s interests, consider financial planning as necessary and take advantage of the benevolence of tax strategies. |
