Global cash tax management strategies

19 January 2009 (Monday)
9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Hong Kong

Brief introduction of the seminar 

Ernst & Young is firmly committed to bringing relevant and timely issues and ideas to our clients. We have launched a series of breakfast seminars as a platform to update our clients on the latest developments in tax practices and relevant regulations, as well as to encourage senior tax people to network with their peers for the sharing of knowledge and experience. Each seminar will focus on issues which we perceive to be of particular significance to our clients with respect to the opportunities and challenges arising in Hong Kong’s and mainland China’s ever-changing business environment. The topics will focus not only on new developments in tax policies but also on non-tax developments and issues that may have a significant impact on our clients’ operations.

During the continuing financial crisis, managing cash taxes and putting in place tax efficient treasury management strategies are crucial. Timely execution of cash repatriation and cash tax saving strategies are more important than ever. The current economic environment may also provide companies with a unique opportunity to realign their global business operations without incurring significant tax cost, and set foot in a strategic overseas market, or expand in such market, by acquiring distressed assets or companies. A tax efficient global operating and investment structure should place a company in a competitive position and create a competitive advantage once the market rebounds.

Questions that you may have or that may be of interest to those involved in corporate tax and/or treasury may include the following:

• What opportunities does the current market present that may enable my company to better achieve its tax and treasury goals? What common issues arise and what planning strategies are available to address these issues?
  How can we streamline our global business operations to minimize taxes? 
• How can we streamline our global business operations to minimize taxes? 
• How can we conduct our overseas business or structure overseas acquisitions in the most tax efficient manner thus maximizing the return?
• How should we finance foreign operations or acquisitions while minimizing tax leakages? 
• How can we repatriate cash from a foreign country without incurring significant tax cost?
