Our approach to tax compliance and advisory

verified
Compliance
Our assessments always start with national regulations, followed by local regulations and policies. This is important, because in China, many companies only observe local practices instead of the national law, and wind up in conflict with the tax authorities later on.

Proactive strategy
We seek to proactively identify risks in the structure and practice of our clients’ subsidiaries in China. Because we often see the same tax issues arise over and over again, our experienced tax advisors are able to identify tax risks early on and suggest solutions before they become a problem.

Internal tax review for a German plastics engineering group with production sites in four locations in China

The task

The group’s local financial management is sound. We were hired to perform an internal tax review in order to ensure compliance with their internal policies and identify areas for improvement.

Our solution

We put together a team for onsite visits, arranged kick-off meetings with both the headquarters and the local management, and then carried out the onsite visit in close collaboration with both parties.

The outcome

Actual tax risks were generally low. Joint discussions regarding future accounting strategies with regard to long-term tax exposure took place with both the company headquarters and the local staff; we concluded by reaching a new level of transparency for both sides.
