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.

Emerging NEV players are disrupting automotive retail through a direct sales model. Balancing user experience and cost efficiency is key to cracking direct sales model. 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;
Benefits of tax technology over enterprise resource planning (ERP); and
How to connect the dots within your business as well as to what’s happening around the world.

Indirect tax: Simplifying through technology

In parallel, many governments have taken the opportunity to introduce tax changes which would otherwise not be easy to implement during good economic times.

(1) Provide a stock take of the Chinese indirect tax policy changes in 2021
(2) Preview the Chinese indirect tax changes anticipated for 2022, including but not limited to impacts from the Chinese VAT Law and Consumption Tax Law legislative process

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?

#ITRDigitalEventseries

Are you prepared for compliance with the latest EU VAT regulations?

Hosted by ITR and TMF Group, the live webinar will take place on June 30 at 1pm BST (2pm CEST).

The paradigm shift in our current economic climate calls for the digitalisation of tax administration. The digitalisation agenda of tax authorities will be advancing over the next few years and pressure mounts on businesses implementing ERP systems. The right configuration of ERP systems is more crucial than ever.

TMF Group's Head of Global Accounting and Tax Consultancy, Csaba Farkas, will discuss the current digitalisation trends and the ERP configuration challenges ahead such as local accounting and tax compliance issues as well as the race for talents skilled in ERP localisation. 

Join  ITR and TMF Group on June 30th at 1pm BST to learn more about the digitalisation of tax administration and its impact on ERP configuration.

Digitalisation of tax administration and its impact on ERP configuration

In the last few years, professionals in different fields have seen the impact of emerging technologies their everyday professional and personal lives. Tax is no exception. A few years ago, nobody imagined that processes around finance and taxation could be digitalized and automated. Although it has been one of the last finance department areas to experience the impact of the Internet of Things, it is now a priority for multinational companies to fully digitize compliance and administration processes. In this webinar, we would like to address this topic in the context of OECD Tax Administration 3.0.

Key points for discussion will include:

- The data challenge and what can we do about it
- Technology available possibilities and limitations

Solving the transfer pricing data dilemma, what technology can we count on?

As increasing numbers of tax authorities around the world introduce new reporting obligations, businesses are under growing pressure to stay compliant with the complex requirements and change. As a result, technology is becoming ever more critical to the tax function as teams are asked to do more with less, centralise activities, require more and better data, and drive value from tax data.

This webinar will offer you practical insights as to how you can leverage technology and enabling your team to become truly strategic / to do more than just deliver the numbers…

- Examining the accelerated need and benefit for digital transformation, across tax and compliance to reduce risk, cost and exposure
- Building a business case to ensure your tax department gets a seat at the table
- Recruiting the right people for the job
- Practical steps/considerations for implementation
- What is on the horizon for tax automation?

Leveraging technology for tax compliance

In association with Vertex Inc, the live webinar will take place on June 22 at 2pm BST (3pm CEST / 9am EDT).

Given today’s trends of real time reporting, authorities increasingly require more granular data when filing reports – and there is a real need to collate, validate and submit accurate information in the right format. 

A manual spreadsheet-based approach to preparing VAT/GST filings is labour-intensive, with an increased chance of errors, missed deadlines and potential penalties. Likewise, companies who manage VAT/GST compliance manually in-house face growing costs to keep up with the changing compliance requirements. There could be a tailor-made solution.

Join Vertex Inc’s Ellen Van Daal and Thermo Fisher Scientific's Daan Jansen on a webinar to learn more about: 

(1) How global businesses can automate their compliance processes using tax technology;
(2) How Vertex VAT Cloud Compliance solution can help analyse, validate and transform your data into actual electronic submission to the tax authorities; and to
(3) View a live demo of the solution.

The 1-hour webinar at 2pm BST (3pm CEST / 9am EDT) will be moderated by ITR’s Prin Shasiharan. The webinar will be followed by a Q&A session.

Webinar: A closer look at VAT cloud compliance solutions

Many multinational corporations are faced with new challenges as they globalise their tax and global trade operations. The demands for transparency and timely responses are steadily increasing, driven by the efforts of governments to expand their tax base. Increasing regulations (HMRC's Making Tax Digital) and the need urgency to maintain and if possible reduce costs are constant struggles that every corporation faces — and the tax department can feel this firsthand. Senior leadership may now demand a greater level of visibility into their worldwide tax operations with so much at stake.
 
Any investment your business is about to make in tax technology to meet any new or changing regulatory requirements has never been more significant or critical. Without the right resources in place, you can expect your already stretched finance and tax department's workload to increase as they try to operate in the evolving tax landscape.
 
With increased compliance requirements, spreadsheets can potentially increase costs and certainly increase risk. With some businesses looking to relieve the pressure by outsourcing to accounting firms to review data which, in turn, means the process takes longer. Ultimately, using Excel is not an efficient or effective way for your tax team to work. 
 
Additionally, organisations outsourcing tax compliance to an external service provider do not transfer all the risks to agents preparing the returns. Additionally, any underlying invoice processing or transactional inaccuracies could lead to a lack of control and create challenges to collect and analyse the data when needed at short notice in the future. Organisations might find it hard to escape from audits or financial penalties, which will adversely impact your company's risk rating with the tax authorities.
