International tax talk quarterly series with the EY Global Tax Desk Network - September 2025

In this webcast, panelists discuss how global incentives may improve cash flow, increase EBIT and support operational performance.

Jurisdictions around the globe are expanding statutory and discretionary incentive programs that can potentially improve companies’ cash flow, fund transformation initiatives and support sustainable growth. As global incentives have become a more powerful tool for tax and business leaders, tax professionals and company leaders need informed implementation plans and technical guidance to navigate and make full use of these programs.

This session will provide an overview of how global incentives can deliver benefits across an organization’s R&D, supply chain, production activities, sustainability and capital investments. We will share practical insights on incentives that can generate cash flow, improve margins, and strengthen competitive advantage.

Topics will include:

• An overview of the global incentives environment, incentive types, and the benefits they can offer
• A discussion of how to estimate potential benefits using upfront benchmarking
• An example of an implementation plan for entities in the EMEIA, ASEAN, LATAM, and MENA regions
• Real-world examples of common challenges businesses may encounter when exploring global incentives and a discussion of how to address those challenges

Join us to sharpen your technical understanding and explore how to more effectively harness global incentives to support your organization’s financial and operational objectives.
