Tax Treaty Guidance

The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce, the European Chamber of Commerce in China, the French Chamber of Commerce in China, and SwissCham Beijing invite you to a breakfast seminar on "Tax Treaty Guidance".

The SAT have recently released a new circular (No.75) setting out China`s own commentary on tax treaty application which should have significant impact on foreign investors in applying for treaty relief. Although Circular 75 was issued in the context of the interpretation of a specific treaty, it applies to any similar provisions in China’s other 90+ tax treaties

During this breakfast seminar Tracy Zhang, Tax Partner at KPMG Beijing and Mr. Yang of IBFD are willing to share with the members their insight into the commentary, highlight the key points foreign investors need to be aware of and the actions to be taken against this tax development.”

A breakfast will be served during the presentation.
