Up-to-date analysis and comment on international corporate tax and transfer pricing matters

The rollout of the Pillar 2 GloBE minimum tax rules in 2023 is seeing steady progress, globally and in the Asia-Pacific region. While China has not, to-date, set out any formal plan on GloBE rule adoption, the general view is that this will happen in due course. 

Even prior to any application of the GloBE rules by China, businesses operating in China, both foreign and Chinese-owned, will see impacts from the GloBE rules. 

This webinar will cover several themes including: 

Impacts on typical corporate structures used in connection with Chinese operations;

Impacts on Chinese tax incentives;

Preparing for GloBE: accounting and data management; and

Adapting to post-GloBE reality: M&A considerations and restructuring.

The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session.

Rollout of BEPS 2.0 pillar two – considerations for companies operating in China

Join ITR and KPMG China at 10am BST (5pm China Standard Time) on April 27 as tax and tech experts discuss the digitialisation efficiencies businesses could achieve under China’s ambitious plans.

In 2021, the Chinese government issued ‘Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of Tax Collection and Administration’, which set up the tax administration development blueprint for the next five years. The key objective of the blueprint is to build up the advanced 'intelligent taxation' tax supervision system via digital upgrading and intelligent transformation.

Specifically, the tax authorities would build up the Golden Tax project Phase IV, fully digitised E-invoices, the new generation of the Electronic Taxation Bureau and a risk decision-making platform, together with optimisation on Supervision and Administration mechanism to strengthen risk supervision and improve the  supervision’s accuracy and efficiency for the tax payers.

Against this backdrop, enterprises operating in China are facing increasing challenges and therefore advancing the digital transformation of their tax management.

To help enterprises address these challenges, the KPMG Tax Technology Client Solutions (TTCS) team has self-developed a tax system named KPMG KeyTax Platform (Key Tax) and built a comprehensive solution via KeyTax together with our ability on tax advisory and product design to help the clients advance tax digital transformation.

In this session, KPMG experts will share their insights on KeyTax and tax digitalisation developments and how to help enterprises promote their tax digitalisation.

Webinar: Tax management digitalisation challenges for enterprises in China

Join ITR and insightsoftware at 3pm on March 20 as they explain the benefits of adopting a unified approach to tax processes.

Is your organisation unable to support strategic decision-making due to disconnected tax systems, manual spreadsheets, or error-prone reporting? Imagine having a single source of truth that aligns tax provisioning, forecasting, country-by-country reporting, operational transfer pricing and pillar two all within a single solution. 

Don’t settle for the status quo. In this webinar, you will learn how creating a single source of truth for all your tax processes will provide the following benefits: 
• Help you to confidently understand or defend your tax position; 
• Enable more frequent reporting and more time for strategic, value-added activities; 
• Create synergies in terms of process, technology and people; and
• Automate tax data transfers from one calculation to the next.

Kathryn Abate, senior product manager at insightsoftware, alongside contributions from Kunal Shah, director at Deloitte, and Assad Rashid, associate director at Deloitte, will explain how these benefits can be achieved.

Webinar: Navigating tax processes with a single source of truth

Join ITR and Thomson Reuters at 9am GMT (8pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time, 2.30pm India Standard Time, and 5pm Singapore Standard Time) on February 23 as industry experts discuss the wide-ranging efficiencies that can be achieved by automating and centralising financial processes through a single global hub.

The centralisation of tax and financial compliance is key to increasing data quality, cost efficiency, and corporate governance. However, multinational corporations often rely on in-country specialists to fulfil statutory financial reporting and indirect tax compliance processes. Information on these decentralised activities is often stored locally in different formats, languages, and systems. The end result is laborious manual processes, time-consuming and costly audits, and penalties for regulatory filing delays. 
 
These challenges present a huge opportunity for shared service centres (SSCs), centres of excellence (COEs), and global capability centres (GCCs) to streamline their indirect tax and statutory reporting processes. 

In this complimentary webinar co-hosted by ITR and Thomson Reuters, industry experts will discuss the wide-ranging efficiencies and strategic business benefits that can be achieved by automating and centralising financial processes through a single global hub. 
 
Join us on February 23 2023 to learn: 
• How the centralisation of knowledge-based indirect tax and statutory reporting compliance can deliver measurable cost savings, strengthened managerial oversight, improved risk management, and valuable business insights; and 
• How expert technology that leverages the expertise of accounting firms can transform global financial compliance and support business growth plans. 
 
Sign up now for this expert webinar to learn how centralisation can supercharge your firm’s tax and financial compliance.

World Tax 2024 - Your questions answered

Join ITR and TMF Group’s tax experts at 2pm CET (1pm GMT) on November 15 as they discuss how finance leaders are increasingly faced with doing more with less, and how CFOs should adapt.

Business complexities around the world can frustrate finance centralisation plans. This webinar will provide real-life examples on how local complexities might hinder finance transformation and centralisation ambitions. There will also be practical hints on how to handle those complexities.

Webinar: Finance centralisation – How to handle global business complexities

Join Peter Boerhof, the VAT director of Vertex, in a fireside chat with ITR at 10am GMT on November 10 to discuss how to manage the tax complexities of cross-border sales.

In the midst of growing economic uncertainty, businesses are continuing to diversify their e-commerce offerings, exploring new territories to sell to and new routes to market.

But as businesses look to exploit these opportunities, they are exposing themselves to potential indirect tax implications. To remain tax compliant, and foster the frictionless experience customers expect, businesses trading online need to manage tax complexities at every stage.

In this fireside chat from Vertex’s VAT director, Peter Boerhof, he will share the findings from a recent Vertex survey of 730 tax and finance decision makers, all from businesses making online cross-border sales. The research looked to reveal how indirect tax complexities are hampering these businesses’ ability to grow.

The discussion will include:

Why indirect tax solutions need to be at the forefront of your e-commerce growth strategy;
How to create a vision for tax success, and why good planning is a necessity; and
How to find the right solution that will give you greater tax certainty and lower your audit risk.

Register here for ITR and insightsoftware’s webinar on assessing the implications of Pillar Two and planning your next steps.
Join Kathryn Abate, Senior Product Manager, to hear about the practical consequences of Pillar Two, and to have your most pressing questions answered. 
Constantly changing tax reporting requirements have been the norm for tax teams for quite some time. However, Pillar Two, when it comes, will introduce substantial new complexities into the tax compliance, reporting and forecasting processes. 

The implications for forecasting, corporate structuring, transfer pricing decisions, reporting processes, and the use of tax technology will be significant. 

Tax teams that have previously relied on spreadsheets or a disjointed set of software tools to support their tax reporting and forecasting will soon find it difficult to manage these complex models. The companies that are learning how to incorporate Pillar Two into their existing tax reporting and forecasting processes, making adjustments as needed, are ahead of the curve. 

Join us on this webinar to hear insightsoftware’s Kathryn Abate, Senior Product Manager, address your questions around how to modernise and streamline your tax reporting and forecasting, while creating capacity for the introduction of Pillar Two. Questions covered will include: 

• How to achieve a single source of truth and quickly compare actual figures against forecast data;
• Why increased collaboration and planning will be critical for future success;
• How Pillar Two impacts strategic tax reporting and forecasting; and 
• The role of technology in preparing for and complying with Pillar Two requirements. 
Register here for the webinar on September 28.

Pillar Two – Assessing the implications and planning your next steps

Join ITR and TMF Group’s tax experts at 2pm BST on August 17 as they discuss trends towards global alignment, stricter governance, and increasing digitalisation – and how tax teams can achieve success in this environment.

Global tax trends indicate a mixture of good and bad news for tax teams, creating an environment in which risk and opportunity sit side-by-side. This is according to research by TMF Group, published in its Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI) 2022. 
Tax authorities are becoming stricter: the percentage of jurisdictions that allow companies to voluntarily correct their tax returns without receiving a fine has decreased since 2020. Authorities are also making use of big data to target companies deemed to be high-risk.
However, jurisdictions are increasingly bringing their tax policies into alignment, which creates opportunities for efficiency. Authorities are also displaying a desire to work with and support companies. While 27% of jurisdictions reported that no notice was needed before a tax audit in 2020, this has dropped to 19% in 2022.
In this mixed environment, tax teams should keep on top of the changes, and the risks and opportunities they bring, to protect and advance their company. 
Join TMF Group’s tax experts for advice on how to find success in a climate of growing global alignment, stricter governance, and increased digitalisation.

Speakers: Emine Constantin, Global solutions director, Accounting and Tax (EMEA), Maja Mandela, Head of Accounting and Tax (CEE), Aphro Hong, Associate Director and Market Practice Leader, Accounting and Tax (China and Taiwan), Vitor Benetti, Senior manager, Accounting and Tax, TMF Group. 
Moderator: Alice Jones, Commercial Editor, ITR

Global tax transformation – Three rising trends CFOs should know about

ITR and Vertex will host a webinar to explore the challenges facing online sellers and marketplaces after COVID-19, and to discuss ways to improve indirect tax efficiency and compliance.

Join our experts, Jordi Sol, senior manager of international tax innovation at Taxamo (a Vertex Inc company), and Anitha Chakravarthi, global head of indirect tax and tax technology at Ebay, to discuss topics including:

Sellers vs marketplaces
Not all marketplaces provide the level of support with tax compliance that sellers are looking for. In a competitive landscape, marketplaces need to adapt their offering to meet the demands of their clients. This is particularly important as tax authorities impose increasingly stringent data requirements.

Removing marketplace friction
Which issues are causing obstacles to marketplace business success? Marketplace growth, in particular, can be hindered by indirect tax complexity. Anitha and Jordi will discuss the tax challenges for marketplaces and how to tackle them.

Delivering for customers
Both marketplaces and sellers have the same ultimate goal: to deliver what the end customer wants. However, tax can get in the way of achieving this. Anitha will share how using technology and working collaboratively with sellers can help a marketplace reach its potential.

Indirect tax changes
Setting the challenges to marketplaces and sellers in the wider landscape of indirect tax changes, Anitha and Jordi will discuss the vast changes that have happened – and are still happening – in the regulatory landscape.

Increasing reporting requirements such as e-invoicing and continuous transaction controls (CTCs) are just some of the changes that indirect tax teams should be keeping an eye on.

Tax technology options 
In an increasingly digital world, where tax authorities are requiring increasing access to accurate near-real-time data, tax technology in some form is the only way to manage compliance.

At a time when the world has been dealing with COVID-19 for years, businesses are facing greater challenges than ever before. These include anti-COVID control measures, geopolitical shifts, and Sino-US political tensions.  

To be better prepared to tackle the tax challenges of these events, industry practitioners need to re-examine the changing patterns and direction of their business development. These will have significant associated tax, customs, and transfer pricing issues.  

In this webinar, KPMG China’s presenters explained the new trends of business operating in the market, and shared their views on the impact on tax.
