Some highlights of the industry discussions:
Session 5: panel discussion -Beneficial Ownership Regime: What has Happened and What is Next?
Panel Objective
The international regulatory landscape has undergone significant reforms to enhance corporate tax transparency and improve client due diligence requirements. As part of a wider, global initiative, heightened beneficial ownership requirements are related to identifying the beneficial ownership of companies, principally for combating illicit financial crimes. This panel provides an overview of the beneficial ownership regimes’ recent updates and amendments in certain jurisdictions, and explains how to remain competitive in an industry disrupted by legislative reform.
Session 11: panel discussion - Are Global Economic Substance Requirements a Potential Game Changer for International Business?
Panel Objective
New laws in key offshore jurisdictions came into force at the start of 2019, requiring entities engaged in certain relevant activities to have demonstrable economic substance in that jurisdiction, in accordance with the standards established by the OECD and the EU for cracking down on base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS),with regards to harmful tax practices in particular. This panel discusses the overwhelming changes introduced along with growing financial transparency, and how international activities have to become more heavily reliant on compliance than ever.
In the past, cost was the most important consideration when considering offshore jurisdictions. Now people are thinking more about the stability of the legal system and have a longer term view.
