Organisors:
We sincerely invites you to participate in the US tax reform Seminar on Thursday, March 15, 2018 at Diaoyutai Boutique Hotel Chengdu.
On 22 December 2017, President Trump signed “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, which came into effect in January 2018. Relevant policy adjustments under the new tax regime embody the idea to bring back overseas investments and stimulate US economic growth where a number of innovations that break through the past tax practice in US history have been included, which is considered the most significant reform in the recent three decades in the US. The amended tax law has incorporated updates in many aspects, such as federal corporate tax rate, foreign dividends treatment, controlled foreign companies (CFC) rules, intellectual property (IP) income, base erosion and historical overseas profits, etc. It is estimated that the federal deficit will be increased by $1.45 trillion over the next decade due to the series of preferential new measures including the reduction of tax rate and foreign dividends tax exemption.
KPMG tax experts will provide you with introduction of the content, impacts and responses of the tax reform.The following aspects are included:
The US tax reform has drawn the worldwide attention: what are specific modifications?
How does massive tax cut impact commercial and investment activities of the US and other countries and even the global economy?
Which industries benefit the most from the reform?
As the world’s second largest economy following the US, China and the US have very close commercial intercourses. How should we treat the influences on the commercial and investment activities between the two countries caused by the US tax reform?
How will the policymakers in China react?
Should the “Going Global” enterprises adjust their strategic layouts accordingly?
