E-invoicing success stories: real-world wins, lessons, and tips

Join ITR and Thomson Reuters on May 28 for the second webinar of a three-part series on e-invoicing and hear how businesses can strategically manage measures such as the VAT in the Digital Age proposal.

Thomson Reuters’ previous webinar in partnership with ITR laid the foundation for understanding continuous transaction controls (CTCs) and their growing role in global tax compliance. Now, the conversation is taken further. Join a deeper dive into the real-world challenges businesses face when navigating CTC mandates, with the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) proposal as a central example.

The webinar will explore how ViDA intersects with automation efforts and ask the critical question: is it slowing down digital transformation, or pushing it forward?

Whether you are in tax, IT, or finance, this session will provide practical insights into:
• How ViDA reshapes compliance and reporting expectations;
• The technical and operational impact of the ViDA requirements; and
• Strategic considerations for building a future-proof automation roadmap.

The following guest speakers will share their insights:
• Nazar Paradivskyy, director of regulatory affairs/corporate tax and trade at Pagero, part of Thomson Reuters; and
• Thomas Anderson, director of product management/corporate tax and trade at Pagero, part of Thomson Reuters.
Viewers will have the chance to raise questions for the speakers throughout the webinar.

Navigating e-invoicing challenges: the impact of ViDA on automation and compliance journeys

Explore the opportunities now available to achieve automated segmentation, forecasting, and price-setting. 
When an SAP S/4HANA migration is planned, is in progress, or has already finished, why should there be a need for an additional tool for operational transfer pricing (OTP)? Today, TP is more than maintaining condition records; it is about global tax and compliance. It begins with profitability checks by segmenting a legal entity’s P&L statements by transaction group, transaction partner, and TP function to test them against benchmarks. Complex conversion rules are required to enrich millions of ERP records with TP-specific attributes, plus multi-level cost allocations. Calculating and updating transfer prices at the product level adds complexity, as TP methods must be applied. Finally, forecast and customs duties data for simulations are the basis to obtain optimal transfer prices during the year, avoiding year-end adjustments. 
ERP systems do not deliver such very specific functionalities, so MNEs must decide whether to continue with manual spreadsheets, build or buy an OTP solution, or develop their own OTP applications.
ITR will be discussing this dilemma with Dr Frank Schoeneborn, the global head of EXA’s Operational Transfer Pricing software program. The webinar will cover the following aspects:
• Beyond condition records – the TP life cycle runs from segmentation to forecasting and dynamic price-setting to final year-end adjustments.
• OTP requirements – OTP consists of a full P&L breakdown by transaction group, transaction partner, and TP function performed by the individual entity. 
• Forecasting, simulations, and price-setting – the webinar will consider how to avoid large year-end adjustments.
• Transfer price and customs value – the alignment of TP with customs can justify an investment in an OTP solution.
• OTP enterprise-grade software in action – a demonstration of EXA’s solution, which can be integrated into your SAP ERP and/or S/4HANA.

Taking corporate tax management beyond provision with Longview

As businesses worldwide work to comply with the evolving rules of the OECD’s pillar two and global minimum tax, the challenges are becoming increasingly complex. Whether you are still grappling with the legislation, dealing with data sourcing issues, or unsure of how to structure your tax strategy, this webinar will help to guide the way.

The following tax industry experts from Thomson Reuters and EY will relate their experience of how businesses are managing global minimum tax compliance and suggest action points for your organisation:
• Alex Ottey, senior manager, tax technology and transformation, EY; and
• Josh Allen, senior solution consultant, Thomson Reuters.

The discussion will cover the following themes:
• Are safe harbours really safe? – the webinar will explain why they may be “not so safe harbours”, the risks of relying on the provisions, and the need to look at business planning from different levels.
• Data sourcing and management – the difficulty in sourcing granular, traceable, and consistent data that meets regulatory standards will be considered, and the impact on your provision calculations and statutory accounts. 
• In-house, outsourced, and co-sourced approaches – build a greater understanding of the options, the associated costs, and the trends in tax functions.
• Impact on tax departments – the global minimum tax adds another layer of complexity for tax teams and has significant resourcing implications. How can your department address these demands?
• Compliance solutions – is there an end-to-end solution that could support your tax team through the compliance journey and assist with long-term planning?

Adaptation to the new rules is an even more pressing concern now that pillar two and the global minimum tax are in play. This session will provide valuable clarity and allow viewers to raise questions for the speakers.

World Tax 2026 - Your Questions Answered - Part 1

In an era of increasing tax authority scrutiny and heightened compliance requirements, the need for robust, high-quality transfer pricing (TP) documentation has never been greater. This webinar will explore the critical importance of managing your TP processes efficiently and effectively to avoid costly audits and penalties.

As tax authorities, including His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK, ramp up their focus on TP arrangements, poor or incomplete documentation can lead to significant tax adjustments. The webinar will consider notable cases from several jurisdictions and outline the latest trends, including the growing movement towards bringing TP documentation in-house for better control, cost efficiency, and compliance assurance. 

An expert panel from Tax Systems and Evelyn Partners will provide in-depth insights into why, and how, dedicated TP software can help your organisation to stay compliant and reduce risk. The webinar will highlight the following key topics:
• The TP audit environment – explore how tax authorities are leveraging AI tools and increased collaboration to identify non-compliance, triggering more frequent audits;
• HMRC in practice – understand HMRC’s expectations, recent guidance, and key statistics on transfer pricing and diverted profits tax audits;
• TP resource models – analyse the pros and cons of outsourcing versus bringing TP documentation in-house, with insights into hybrid models;
• Documentation software – discover how TP documentation software enhances compliance, reduces risks, and provides control over documentation processes; and
• The five reasons why you should use dedicated TP documentation software – hear how a different approach can bring benefits for your organisation.

Join us on October 17 to gain practical insights into how TP documentation software can transform your compliance approach.

As countries worldwide implement measures to address BEPS, pillar two adds another layer of complexity and challenges for multinationals. These reporting rules are now in play and multinationals need to start preparing for these changes or risk falling behind, especially for reporting purposes. Simply relying on the transitional safe harbouris not enough – whether top-up tax is required or not, calculating your BEPS 2.0 position as part of your tax provisioning process is required and often subject to external audit.

To understand how to manage the risks effectively, this webinar will delve into the necessity of undertaking an impact assessment, a BEPS pillar two calculation, tax technology, and data gap analysis, and the crucial role of engaging with auditors and advisers. 

The above points will be discussed in the webinar by the following senior tax professionals:
• Andy Hung, director of product management, CCH Integrator, at Wolters Kluwer, a global provider of software and knowledge solutions for corporate tax professionals; and 
• Ross Robertson, international tax partner at BDO, the accountancy and business advisory firm.

And if you have a question concerning how to ensure your organisation is ready for pillar two, it can be submitted to the speakers in advance.

Join us on June 18 to learn how to educate your team, understand the budget considerations and the necessary resources, and hear how to navigate the timelines to ensure successful preparation for BEPS pillar two.

BEPS pillar two: insights, readiness, and risks

During this period of economic uncertainty and market volatility, the valuation of Chinese-based portfolios has experienced a significant decline and the IPO process has also slowed down dramatically, which leads to a negative impact on the investment return. Meanwhile, the tax calculation for indirect share transfers can be complicated, with high uncertainty and controversy in practice due to a lack of clear guidance under the prevailing tax rules in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). 

In this context, international investors have an even higher expectation and need than ever before regarding the reasonableness of the tax treatment of PRC indirect share transfers. It is therefore essential to minimise the tax burden during a downturn of valuations, so as to enhance the investment return.

In this webinar, Milano Fang and Tim Zeng, M&A tax partners at KPMG China, will discuss the PRC’s prevailing tax treatment of, and calculations for, indirect share transfers and the major causes of an unreasonable tax burden. They will also share their observations on typical market practice and insights on a potential breakthrough via a modification to the calculation method, with the aim of rationalising the tax burden. 

The free webinar offers the opportunity to raise questions for the speakers on the taxation of indirect share transfers in the PRC. Sign up today.

PRC indirect share transfers: tax burden rationalisation in a valuation downturn

As pillar two becomes a reality, is your tax team set up with accurate financial forecast data to tackle the challenges of interim reporting and long-range forecasts? Are you confident your organisation’s country-by-country (CbC) reports can be generated quickly to support the pillar two safe harbour tests, and that they will be qualified and auditable?  

Disconnected systems and manual processes compromise data integrity and waste valuable time. Organisations should tackle the complexities of CBC reporting and tax forecasting with robust, quality data within a single source of truth, calculated and presented in a solution built for automation and compliance.  

In a webinar on March 20, these issues will be explored in depth by insightsoftware, a global provider of reporting, analytics, and performance management solutions in the tax and finance field.

Kathryn Abate, senior product manager at insightsoftware, and Ben Candy, an associate director in Deloitte’s tax technology consulting practice, will discuss: 
• The challenge of producing detailed, auditable CbC reporting data; 
• Process improvement around CbC reporting to produce qualified reports quickly; 
• The lack of forecast financial data suitable for tax; 
• Options for efficiently generating suitable forecast data based on prior-year data, more high-level information, trends, and knowledge of the business; and
• Simplifying and automating the interim and long-range forecast. 

The webinar aims to assist tax, finance, and IT professionals across a diverse range of industries and job titles, including financial analysts, compliance officers, C-suite executives, and anyone involved in tax planning and reporting.

Don't miss this opportunity to equip yourself with the knowledge and strategies needed to manage the complexities of tax forecasting and CbC reporting in light of pillar two. Register now for a webinar that will help you to navigate the challenges with confidence and efficiency.

Grasping global e-invoicing: strategies, scalability, and compliance

Since EU finance ministers reached broad agreement on the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) proposals at the Economic and Financial Affairs Council in June 2023, there have been months of discussions and changes at EU level on the implementation dates and scope of the ViDA reforms and e-invoicing.

The failure to agree a way forward is causing unrest for tax authorities and companies as they attempt to prepare for the implementation of new legislative agreements. The discussions revolve around the three pillars of reform under the ViDA proposals:
• VAT reporting obligations and e-invoicing;
• VAT treatment of the platform economy; and
• Single EU VAT registration.

European e-invoicing 101: essential updates on the ViDA proposals

Given the persistent and far-reaching impact of the decoupling and geopolitical tensions between the US and China, businesses are encountering multifarious and formidable challenges of an unprecedented nature. These include tightening export control measures, mass sanction designations, and other national security-related restrictive measures. Also, the Chinese government has been updating and reinforcing its export control and sanction regimes to safeguard its own national security.

In light of the current trends, it is beneficial for industry practitioners, particularly multinational corporations, to carefully review their business operations to identify any potential areas for improvement. This can help them to address any compliance and supply chain issues that may arise, while also ensuring that they remain compliant with any applicable export control and sanction regulations.

In this webinar on January 25, Harry Zhang, a partner at KPMG China, will discuss China's new export control and sanction policies, and share his perspective on the latest US sanctions against China.

The presentation will include cases that demonstrate common compliance and risk control errors that businesses might face. The objective is to ensure that companies remain in line with applicable regulations and standards, while reducing their exposure to risk.

Key topics that will be covered include:
• The overall introduction of the export control regime in China, and the counter-sanctions and blocking measures regulations;
• The US export control and sanction measures targeting China and the corresponding impact on businesses; and
• The new regulatory and risk environment for multinational corporations in China and typical compliance omission cases.

Sign up now for this free webinar and learn more about the impact of the new compliance environment confronting businesses with operations in China.
