How do the proposed FATCA regulations impact Asset Managers?
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) provide guidance on a number of specific implementation issues relevant to the asset management industry, and it is clear that a number of comments received from the industry were incorporated into the regulations.
Lessons learned from indirect share transfer cases made public by Chinese tax authorities
Since 2010, cases of local tax authorities taxing indirect share transfers have been reported intermittently on the official websites of local governments, tax authorities or the China Taxation News. To date, there are seven public cases, including the pre-698 Chongqing Case, which may show the increasing alertness of tax authorities to opportunities to tax indirect transfer, especially in cases where the business purpose of the structure is not obvious. This article summarizes the key facts of the seven cases and discusses the lessons that we may be able to learn from them.
NEW FAQs Section
To enhance the support to members, a new FAQs section under Resource Page has been launched. Members are welcomed to raise questions related to the industry through the webpage. The questions will be vetted and answered by Resource committee in batches. |

As you may be aware, the Indian Finance Minister recently presented the Union Budget 2012 proposals. Some of the Budget proposals such as General Anti-Avoidance Rule and taxation of "indirect transfers" could have far reaching implications for FIIs and private equity investors investing into India. In this connection, we are delighted to invite you to attend a one- hour video conference call in which Gautam Mehra, Executive Director & Leader - Asset Management, PwC India, will analyze the key Budget proposals relevant for FIIs and private equity investors.
