Keeping pace with the global tax

3 September 2015 | 4:30 - 5:30 p.m.

1 hr

Business craves three “C’s” — Certainty, Consistency and Clarity. Certainty is being eroded by ongoing scrutiny of national tax regimes by the OECD and EC; consistency, while a key objective of the OECD’s BEPS project, is being impacted by an ever increasing number of unilateral actions at the national level; clarity, when the range of global developments is viewed holistically, seems to exist only in regard to one new development: Country-by-Country Reporting.

Governments across the length of the globe have turned their focus to multinational companies and how much, or how little, tax they are paying. Supra-national bodies such as the European Commission (EU), the United Nations (UN) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have taken action and are affecting change. These pressures are causing companies to step back and reassess their business, financial and legal structures. They are looking to their tax departments to help them find the right answers.

The session will bring these and other tax technical issues to the front burner for open debate and discussion.

45 mins

India is witnessing a phase of changes in economic reforms. With GST, BEPS-OECD, FDI norms, reforms aligned with the much talked about ‘Make in India’ campaign and so on. It won’t be wrong to term it as a phase of tectonic shift in tax policy environment. No one has a crystal ball to gaze into economic forecasting, especially, in the present environment. Whether it would emergence of a new Asian tiger or would the economy end-up being into the middle-income trap, is for time to tell, but India Inc needs to gear-up and be ready, as we move towards economic transformation. The session will peek into these reformative changes and where we are heading towards.

Being GST ready – It is more than just tax

45 mins

Day 1 of the Workshop will end with the session ‘GST – The way forward’, which shall outline the GST framework, its status quo and debate around it. Taking the discussion to the next level is this session, where we connect with the business impact model. GST will be transformational and the implication on the industry extends well beyond tax. It will affect every part of business right from financial reporting, tax accounting, supply chain, technology enablement and contracts redesign. Training people within the company and its business eco-system will be fundamental for the readiness for the new regime. To enable a successful implementation, a common ground has to be identified to bring together various stakeholders for a common cause. The inter-dependencies need to be identified upfront at project initiation and plans to put in place to manage them. The audience will be primarily be responsible of the tax function in their respective companies. It would be imperative to discuss the issues / actions points from a tax prism, to seamless transition to GST.

It is no longer enough for the tax-head to be equipped with only the core tax provisions, but it has become necessary to understand the powers of the tax collectors and the legal remedies available with him, which may entail civil or criminal law. In this session, we will deal with some of these coercive powers with the tax administrators and the aspects that a tax-head may want to understand to be able to effectively deal with any such untoward coercive measure being used either against his organisation, any member of the management team or himself.

Beyond tax 4 September 2015 | 4.15 - 5.15 p.m.

1 hr

Over the last decade, the role of the tax function in the corporate sector has changed dramatically due to globalization, technological progress, risk-based approach by tax authorities and the drive for efficiency to reduce costs. Tax function that adapts quickly to these new trends will minimize risks and create value for the business. Moving beyond numbers, the role has evolved as a leader, team player who can take on risk, address challenges, adapt to changes and emerge as a ‘winner’.

With countries competing fiercely for growth, India has launched an ambitious program, “Make in India”, to take its economy to the next level of growth. The main aim of this campaign is to transform India into a manufacturing leader. The program is attracting many global investors, which is evident from agreements signed wth countries like China, US, Germany etc. The intent of this program is admirable while the success will only be achieved, if its execution will be tightly monitored.
