Do you understand the impact of new accounting standards and tax laws on your business? 

The new revenue and leasing standards (HKFRS 15 and HKFRS 16) may have an impact for different businesses in terms of financial and tax reporting. In addition, the newly effective interpretation, HK(IFRIC)-Int 23 (Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments), may affect the measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities as at the reporting date when there is uncertainty over income tax treatment.

Cross-border intragroup transactions require a revisit to mitigate tax risks as transfer pricing (TP) rules are now legislated in Hong Kong with a number of related changes in the Inland Revenue Ordinance. With a widened definition of permanent establishment (PE) under the Fifth Protocol, China TP and tax risks, or opportunities, should also be considered together as overall risk profile management.

In this seminar, our specialists will share with you the practical steps that can be adopted to better address the implementation of new accounting and tax requirements.

The seminar will cover:

  • Financial and tax implications of HKFRS 15, HKFRS 16 & HK(IFRIC)-Int 23
  • Relief for foreign taxes and latest administrative practice in Hong Kong
  • Fifth Protocol to the China-Hong Kong double tax arrangement with widened PE definition
  • China VAT preferential policies
  • STA Public Notice (2019) No. 35
  • Customs (royalty embedded in imported goods)
  • TP in Hong Kong and interactions with other jurisdictions
