Programme Synopsis

Death and taxes are the only certainties in life. For the latter, taxes are certain because tax authorities have a lot of power to collect them. Presumptions in favour of the tax authorities, the “best judgment” rule, power to collect regardless of taxpayer objections: these are but some of the challenges that taxpayers and their advisors face when engaged in a one-sided dispute with the tax authorities.

How then can a tax advisor develop a negotiation strategy to offset this imbalanced power position and achieve a good result for his or her client? Join Danny Quah, Litigation Director at TSMP Law Corporation, as he shares some practical tips that tax advisors can implement immediately to improve and refine their negotiation skills when negotiating with the taxman.

This 1.5-hour webinar will be an interactive one where Danny will expect his attendees to be engaged in breakout discussions and to participate actively in class discussions. 

Programme Outline

  • Learn how to elevate one’s bargaining position to address the underlying power imbalance in negotiations with IRAS 
  • Know how to reframe the disputed issues for more expansive negotiations
  • Understand how to adopt “interest-based” rather than “positional” negotiating techniques to achieve win-win outcomes for both parties
