Programme Synopsis
Tax Controversy Compass is a webinar series by KPMG in Singapore for multinational enterprises with cross-border operations, bringing together relevant KPMG experts to deliver jurisdiction‑specific perspectives on emerging tax risks and dispute trends in a fast‑evolving tax controversy landscape.
Join KPMG for the third episode of our Tax Controversy Compass series, where they explore the legal, practical, and strategic challenges arising from tax authority information gathering, focusing on how organisations can manage escalation risk and respond effectively across jurisdictions.
Programme Outline
A Highlight of Key Areas:- How tax authorities seek information and why escalation occurs, including the use of informal requests, the practical impact of “voluntary” cooperation, and early strategic decisions that influence outcomes.
- The scope and limits of formal information gathering powers, covering onshore statutory notices, offshore powers, international exchange of information, and the protections and consequences associated with non-compliance.
- Common practical challenges in responding to information demands, such as overly broad requests, custody and control issues, and emerging trends involving offshore entities and evidentiary sanctions.
- Proven strategies to manage information risk, offering practical guidance on navigating escalation, mitigating controversy, and achieving sustainable outcomes, supported by real world insights from recent experiences across Australia, Indonesia, Korea and Singapore.
