Programme Synopsis

At last, the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) Scheme as announced in the Budget 2010 has come to an end.  Notwithstanding the fact that the Finance Minister has introduced certain new measures with a view to raising productivity in the Budget 2018, the question remains whether you are aware of other alternatives to reducing your organization's effective tax rate (ETR)?  Have you considered the possibility of applying for tax incentives that might potentially create a better tax saving results?  Some participants revealed that they have been under pressure to look for possible ways to reduce their organizations’ ETR and thus, wanted to find out the mechanics of tax incentive planning and negotiation, which cannot be found in any textbooks.

How many of you realize that our tax incentives are not only applicable to foreign investors but also local companies?  How many of you want to know how tax incentives are negotiated with the relevant government agencies so that you are able to better position yourself using the techniques of experienced tax practitioners?  How many of you realize that it is only the beginning when your organization is awarded tax incentives and there are still a significant amount of compliance issues with the incentive’s terms and conditions?
