Presenters: Candy Tang, Liqun Gao, and Janet Zhang
Date: 18 September 2025, 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM SGT (GMT +8)

To ensure a smooth implementation of the Value-added Tax (VAT) law effective 1 January 2026, China’s Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration released the draft Implementation Regulations on 11 August 2025 for public consultation. The draft Regulations proposed some key refinements to the current VAT framework, including the new input VAT allocation for long-term assets, general anti-avoidance rules and clarified treatment for mixed sales, etc. Certain proposed changes may increase compliance burdens and require more sophisticated tax accounting systems for businesses.

During this webcast, we will cover –

  • The key clarifications and new measures introduced in the draft implementation regulations
  • The potential impacts on businesses operating in China
  • Our recommendations on the way forward

Title: Invoice Management System being introduced for GST in India

Presenters: Harsh Sankhlecha, DP Nagendra Kumar, Sarvesh Jhunjhunwala, and Shrenik Shah
Date: 19 August 2025, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM SGT 

Invoice Management System has been rolled out on the Government GST portal and is expected to be made mandatory by end of 2025.  This is a revolutionary invoice acceptance and matching mechanism which will enable tax officers as well as taxpayers (suppliers and recipients) to view the purchase registers, input credit registers and tax compliances on the GST portal itself.  IMS warrants that a recipient takes any one of the following options on an invoice / debit note - accept/ reject/ pending. For credit notes however, the options are only to accept/ reject as of now. Basis the recipient’s action, the tax liability of the supplier as well as the credit availability for the recipient gets determined. 

This is not just a tax compliance, but it would overhaul the AP/ AR functions as the suppliers get real time visibility to the recipient’s action For e.g., if a recipient has rejected a valid invoice, it indicates that the invoice will not be paid.
