VAT / GST implementations: Hard lessons for soft landings
> 25 October, 2:00 – 3:00 PM HKT (GMT +8)
Host: Robert Tsang
Presenters: K Baskar, Kok Fei Ha, Bruce Hamilton, and Robert Tsang
Tax tribunals and courts in India have made a number of judicial
pronouncements on transfer pricing issues during the past 6
months. Some of them have been landmark in content, addressing
fundamental concepts of transfer pricing, and thereby they
contribute significantly towards the development of transfer pricing
law and practice. Some of these decisions have also gained
international traction and are being quoted in international tax
lexicons for their profundity and analysis. We'll discuss the
following cases:
• Instrumentarium Corporation: Tribunal (Special Bench) order on
principle of "base erosion".
• CUB: Delhi High Court order on situs of foreign trademark owned
by a foreign company.
• Ranbaxy: Tribunal (Delhi Bench) order on foreign tested party.
• Oracle: Delhi High Court order on payment of excess royalty.
Stay up to date with the latest developments on transfer pricing
cases in India.

Many countries are either introducing new VAT and GST rules
(India, Malaysia, countries in the Middle East), or evolving their
own approach to drive better indirect tax compliance amongst
taxpayers (China, Singapore, Australia, and others). What are the
keys to successful VAT / GST implementations? What lessons can
your business take from these experiences? If you are deploying
teams from China or Southeast Asia to help with VAT / GST
implementations in India and the Middle East, what approach
works best? We'll discuss:
• Latest GST developments, law, guidance, and decisions.
• The good practices to follow and the pitfalls to avoid.
• Next steps to consider.

Digital economy and GST: Brave new worlds in India and
New Zealand
> 29 November, 2:00 – 3:00 PM HKT (GMT +8)
Host: Robert Tsang
Presenters: Allan Bullot, Saloni Roy, and Robert Tsang
Digital economy and indirect tax are hot topics in many countries
around Asia Pacific as tax authorities seek to put both domestic and
international suppliers of digital products to consumers in-country on
the same footing. India's draft model GST law has extensive digital
economy rules; the new dual GST could be in place as soon as 1 April
2017. New Zealand has a new set of compliance obligations going
live in October 2016 for suppliers of digital services. How will the
digital platform for your business be affected? We'll discuss:
• Overview of the new digital economy rules, with a focus on India
and New Zealand.
• The comparison of these frameworks to the OECD VAT / GST
International Guidelines.
• The way forward.
Understand more about how these rules will work and discover how
they apply to your company's indirect tax planning.

Tax considerations and tax-free post-acquisition corporate
restructuring: A focus on India, Japan, and Korea

Swimming between the flags: The new Australian Taxation
Office approach
> 15 November, 2:00 – 3:00 PM HKT (GMT +8)
Host: David Watkins
Presenters: Claudio Cimetta and Soulla McFall
As part of the post-merger integration of a global, regional, or
domestic acquisition, there could be different forms of corporate
restructuring and substantial income tax as well as indirect taxes may
be incurred. Tax-free internal restructuring may be available, but
subject to the satisfaction of prescribed conditions. We'll discuss:
• Overview of corporate restructuring with a focus on India, Japan,
and Korea.
• Considerations to be made to address the fair value for tax, cost
base step up, and deductibility of capital losses.
• Practical case studies and lessons learned.
Stay informed about these significant tax considerations and gather
insights into how they may affect your decisions in the next
transaction.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is fast evolving the way in
which it engages with business and administers the law based on a
concept of "justified trust". The development of Law Companion
Guidelines (LCGs) and Practical Compliance Guidelines (PCGs) are
examples of the way in which it is seeking to manage significant or
emerging risks to the revenue given its available resources and
desire for real time administration. LCGs and PCGs, as well as
Taxpayer Alerts, set out the ATO's position on potential risk areas
thereby allowing taxpayers to take this into account in their
behaviours, activities, or transaction structures. We'll discuss:
• What is "justified trust"? What is a LCG, a PCG, and a Taxpayer
Alert?
• What are the risk issues identified by the ATO, with a focus on
multinational tax issues?
• Reconciling the ATO views with your acceptable level of risk.
• Practical implications for multinational companies operating in
Australia.
Find out details of these guidelines to swim safely between the flags.
Inbound investment into Korea: A clear view of the recent
developments
> 8 December, 2:00 – 3:00 PM HKT (GMT +8)
Host: Sunny Kim
Presenters: Diana Lee and Jimmy Lee
Significant developments in Korea have caused an impact on
inbound investment into the country, including the 2017 tax
proposals and BEPS. What are the tax implications and risks
associated with the investment process into Korea, and how can
foreign investors proactively manage them? We'll discuss:
• Overview of the selected proposed changes to Korean tax
legislation in 2017 which may have implications on foreign
inbound investors in Korea.
• Implementation of BEPS Action 13 under the Korean domestic tax
legislation and new transfer pricing documentation requirements
for multinational enterprises in Korea.
• Recent decisions from the Tax Appeals and Supreme Court case
rulings.
Discover the latest inbound investment climate in Korea, and what
might affect your benefits when investing in Korea.

The continually evolving regulatory and HR environment has driven
organizations to demand more from their payroll operations and
those responsible for employment taxes. Mobile employees and the
rise of contingent workers add complexity by triggering payroll and
other obligations in multiple jurisdictions and requiring additional
transparency regarding their pay. We'll discuss:
• How can employers best manage mobile workforces across
multiple jurisdictions in the context of immigration, delivery of
employee benefits and effective cost management for the
business?
• Emerging challenges and opportunities for managing payroll
operations and employment tax risks.
• Considerations for employers and employees who maintain mobile
workforces who participate in employee share plans.
Gain insights from Deloitte experts on how payroll operations and
employment taxes are impacting your businesses.
Across Asia, corporations are increasingly focused on establishing
corporate treasury centers to better manage cash, liquidity, financial
risks, and provide financial supply chain solutions. What are the
factors driving the establishment of a corporate treasury center, and
what are important considerations for your organization? We'll
discuss:
• Factors driving the development of corporate treasury centers in
Asia.
• Practical aspects of the Hong Kong and Singapore tax incentive
regimes for corporate treasury centers including the relative merits
and disadvantages.
• Transfer pricing issues and considerations, including allocation of
the interest savings from cash pooling.
• Impact of Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Actions on cash
pooling, a common liquidity management solution.
