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.

Why you should use dedicated transfer pricing documentation software

Join ITR and insightsoftware to hear senior tax experts from KPMG Canada explain the evolving pillar two requirements and the transitional safe harbours – and consider what comes next.

Are you wrangling with the challenges posed by the temporary nature and evolving framework of safe harbour tests and pillar two? Technology exists to help you to confidently prove you qualify for safe harbours now, but the post-transitional safe harbour era is right around the corner. A global tax solution will set you up for success when those provisions expire in 2027. 

Join this webinar to hear what could happen after the transitional safe harbours end, and how you can prepare for the post-safe harbour era, simplify the reporting process, ensure regulatory adherence, and build trust with stakeholders through enhanced transparency. Instead of leaving it until the last minute, act now to start reaping the benefits, and be ready for the unexpected, whatever changes come. 

During the session, tax experts from insightsoftware and KPMG in Canada will cover: 
• The likelihood of future, permanent safe harbours; 
• Implications for your organisation; 
• Taking stock of how you are currently managing pillar two; 
• How and why to create a business case for change; 
• The cost of doing nothing; and 
• Efficiencies and scale gained with a unified solution for global tax management. 

The following speakers from insightsoftware and KPMG in Canada will be sharing their insights:
• Kathryn Abate, senior product manager, insightsoftware; 
• Susie Cooke, global tax transformation leader, KPMG in Canada; and
• Brian Ernewein, senior adviser, national tax, KPMG in Canada.

Don’t let disconnected systems and manual processes pose a risk to your organisation’s regulatory adherence. Prepare your tax function now, armed with everything you need to sustain success and confidently navigate an increasingly regulated landscape.

Preparing for the post-pillar two safe harbour era: why you should act now

Join ITR and Wolters Kluwer on September 3 2024 for insights from the latest Wolters Kluwer BEPS Pillar Two Readiness Index Report and advice on the practical steps needed to prepare for pillar two compliance.

With the effective start date for BEPS pillar two now upon us, multinational enterprises must expedite their preparation efforts. Given the significant challenges ahead, proactive planning, strategic investments in technology, and enhanced global collaboration are essential for compliance.

In this webinar, Wolters Kluwer’s tax and accounting experts will share key findings from the BEPS Pillar Two Readiness Index Report for Q2 2024, insights from their engagements with tax practitioners, and address common pitfalls and misconceptions related to preparation timelines and tax technology implementation.

Key findings:
• Adapting to changing legislation and local requirements – 93% of respondents identified this as the primary challenge for global collaboration;
• Confidence in tax technology – confidence in current tax technology and data systems has sharply declined, with no respondents feeling very confident and only 5% confident in their ability to handle BEPS pillar two reporting requirements, down from 5% and 29%, respectively; and
• Opportunities in BEPS pillar two tax planning – respondents recognise opportunities and benefits across all areas almost equally – process, data, technology, improvement, and risk management.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical advice on navigating the complexities of BEPS pillar two preparation.

Navigating the practicalities of BEPS pillar two preparation

Reserve your seat now and take the first step towards a more integrated, strategic future in tax operations.

Tax data and strategy: how a unified system can help

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.

In an exclusive webinar held in partnership with Vertex, the tax compliance solutions provider, the following insights will be provided by Gunjan Tripathi, director of solutions marketing at Vertex: 
• Updates on the progress of the ViDA reforms;
• An assessment of the impact of delays on digital reporting requirements and e-invoicing; and
• A summary of the latest legislative changes concerning e-invoicing.

The webinar aims to assist tax, finance, and IT professionals across a diverse range of industries and job titles, from security software to healthcare, and from manufacturing to streaming services.

There will be a Q&A session after a presentation of approximately half an hour, with the opportunity to raise questions throughout the webinar.

Don't miss the opportunity to hear about the latest legislative updates in the evolving landscape of European e-invoicing. Sign up now for the webinar and help to empower your organisation with the knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of the ViDA reforms.

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.

The foreign-sourced income exemption (FSIE) regime, which became effective on January 1 2023, is one of the biggest changes in the basic tenor of taxation in Hong Kong’s history. An amendment bill to expand the scope of assets covered under the FSIE regime was gazetted on October 13 2023. This change should be coupled with amendments to the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance enhancing the tax certainty in connection with onshore qualified equity disposal gains that were gazetted on October 20 2023.

In this webinar, John Timpany and Eugene Yeung, respectively the head of tax and a tax partner at KPMG China, will discuss what they have observed in the 11 months since the enactment of the FSIE regime, and the features of the proposed changes to the law. They will also share insights on actions that may be required before year end.

Sign up now for this free webinar and hear how the changes to the FSIE regime could affect your organisation.

• Non-compliant business behaviours or incorrect classification of meeting expenses, entertainment expenses and sponsorship fees incurred during a commercialisation process are again becoming a potential focus for audits;

Join ITR and Wolters Kluwer at 1pm BST on September 5 2023 for the presentation of a data management roadmap to address the challenges of BEPS pillar two. The webinar will be rebroadcast at 11am AEST on September 6.

Tax data collection has always been a challenge for corporate tax teams. There is a need to gather data from a variety of sources to ensure it is all in the right format, and make sure that it is collected in a way that facilitates the fulfilment of reporting requirements.

Collecting, extracting, and normalising data for tax provisioning and reporting is further complicated by the evolving corporate tax landscape. For corporations that expect to be impacted by BEPS pillar two, data management is anticipated to be the number one challenge; therefore, sourcing the underlying data required for BEPS pillar two calculations should be the top priority for pillar two readiness. 

In this webinar, Ryan da Rocha, a tax technology specialist at Wolters Kluwer, will guide you through a complete data management roadmap, including:
• Strategies for cross-functional engagement; 
• Building a sample data flow; 
• Calculations to support tax accounting disclosures and tax compliance; and 
• Technology to support effective data capture and management. 

A follow-up webinar on September 28 will demonstrate how the Wolters Kluwer CCH Integrator platform could offer a one-stop, integrated solution in tackling the data management challenge presented by pillar two.

• An update on the status of BEPS 2.0;
