Host: Eunice Kuo

- Why LSAs are likely to be a disputed topic internationally while China State Administration of Tax (SAT) believes that China may be entitled to additional profit sharing from the global value chain.
- China SAT's view on LSAs including its use of LSAs to conclude bilateral advance pricing arrangements and mutual agreement procedures.
- Possible ways, such as the item-by-item calculation or residual profit approach, to estimate value brought by LSAs.
