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

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.

Amid the global pandemic and economic slowdown, the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry remains strong and shows promising growth opportunities.

On April 23 2020, several Chinese government authorities including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industrial and Information Technology, and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued Circular Cai Jian No. 86, which extends the subsidies made to NEVs to the end of 2022. New standards, business models and influential players are emerging in the NEV in China.

Traditional sector original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will have to focus on cross-channel integration and align their innovations with the direct sales model. 

In the webinar, KPMG China will introduce common NEV sales models and a number of tax issues and opportunities which would come to light.

Keeping up with ever-changing global indirect tax laws as well as increase in digital reporting requirements and regular tax audits are becoming a challenge for indirect tax departments and may increase the risk of non-compliance. 

According to the Thomson Reuters State of Corporate Tax Report 2021, more than half of tax departments anticipate significant changes to regulatory requirements for indirect tax – more specifically on increased digitised tax filings and real-time remittance requirements. The approach to resourcing indirect tax work is either ‘predominantly’ or ‘completely’ in-house for seven-in-ten corporate tax departments surveyed. The report also reveals that half of corporate tax departments feel under-resourced.

Are traditional systems enough to stay ahead of the worldwide trend toward digital tax reporting and address the resourcing challenge?

Hear from a panel of tax experts as they share their perspectives on utilising content-driven cloud technology solutions that help drive efficiency, mitigate compliance risks and enable strategic business decisions. 

This webinar will also cover:
Key elements of a best-in-class indirect tax department;

The European Union’s e-commerce VAT package means now is the time to consider how this will impact your business on cross border e-commerce transactions and the practical steps you have to consider for compliance.

These changes will have a significant impact for any business which is selling goods and/or services to consumers across the EU. The changes also affect businesses operating electronic interfaces such as online marketplaces or platforms facilitating such sales where the value of goods is below €150.

The EU is also removing the €22 import VAT exemption, so businesses not using IOSS will have to pay import VAT on all goods being sold into the EU.

This live webinar will give a clear overview of what is happening in this landscape, how it affects you, and how Thomson Reuters can help you comply with these regulations.

What will be covered:
• Why is change required to B2C e-commerce?
• Who and what will be affected by the 2021 EU VAT e-commerce change?
• Overview of the schemes including OSS (One Stop Shop) and IOSS (Import One Stop Shop)
