Inter Chamber Breakfasts seminar

New Tax Administration Era in China

Thursday, February 9, 2012, 8.00am-10.30am

Kempinski Hotel, Beijing

The robust Tax Risk Control put in place will make good business sense. It will limit the risk of unwelcome 'surprises' to management, and enterprises financial statements will have greater certainty in terms of material tax risks and liabilities. The SAT issued Guidance on Tax Risk Managerment of Large enterprises in May 2009, Guoshuifa No. 90. Following the circular, the SAT released Measures of Taxation Service and Administration for Larger Enterprise, Guoshuifa No. 71 in 2011, which heralds a new era in the relationship and management of taxes in China, built on the concept of mutual trust between business taxpayers and tax officials, under the framework of Tax Compiance Agreements (TCAs). Today KPMG will discuss with you how this new treaty helps large enterprises in dealing with tax authorities.
