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 of 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 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.
In recent years, both the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (“HKIRD”) and the Inspection Branches of PRC tax authorities (“IB”) have been stepping up their efforts on the enforcement of tax laws and collections of revenue by way of tax audits and investigations. More and more businesses have been chosen as tax audit targets. As a result, tax audit has become part of the life of a business. This month’s focus is on a discussion of top issues related to tax audit in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Our experienced professionals will share with you the scope, content and procedures adopted by the tax authorities in conducting tax audit illustrated with case studies and mock interview role-play to highlight the relevant points.
You are cordially invited to attend our seminar on “Tax Audit in Hong Kong and Mainland China”, which will be held at our office on 10 October 2008, at Two International Finance Centre, Hong Kong.
