Confidence to Transform

China Tax Conference 2018

Explore Content

Unprecedented changes are taking place in the international tax arena. With Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong and other dozens of jurisdictions signing the OECD's Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent BEPS and the first modifications to become effective in 2018, it can be anticipated that a new global landscape of cross-border tax policies and dispute resolution mechanism will be unveiled. In addition, a lot more evolving developments and technologies – the implementation of other BEPS action plans in various countries, the release of the US tax reform framework, the automatic exchange of financial account information, just to name a few – are all bringing new challenges to companies with cross-border operations on their global footprint in the upcoming 2018 and years forward.

Global efforts are now trickling down to local regulations. At the same time, fuelled by internal transformation, the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong are also implementing and intensifying the fiscal and tax reforms. The 19th CPC National Congress has concluded earlier with worldly attention, and a new wave of transformation is around the corner. Guided by the macro directions to "deepen reform of the taxation system and improve the local tax system", "make new ground in pursuing opening up on all fronts… give equal emphasis to 'bringing in' and 'going global'", and "promote further integration of the internet, big data, and artificial intelligence with the real economy", how will the tax legislation and regulations continue to advance? What will be the impact on cross-border investment structures? How can companies leverage the information technology to transform and upgrade tax management? The only way to navigate through unprecedented changes and seize the opportunities is to address the new developments with innovation and to tackle the changes with self-transformation.

Deloitte cordially invites you to attend the China Tax Conference 2018 to be held in Wuhan, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Dalian, Guiyang, Kunming, Jinan, Zhengzhou, Shenyang and Tianjin respectively in December 2017 and January 2018. The Conference will also be rolled out to Changsha, Shenzhen, and Xiamen shortly. At the Conference, subject matter experts will share anticipation of market outlook, insights into technical matters, and experience from practical cases. We look forward to meeting you at the Conference, discussing together how to transform with confidence against the evolving landscape and to make an impact that matters!
