Seismic shifts – ITR’s Asia Guide 2023 launched

January 23, 2023

With marked economic disruption matched by a frenetic rate of regulatory upheaval, ITR partnered with Asia’s leading legal minds to navigate the continent’s growing complexity.

The guide begins in India, with a comprehensive analysis of intangible assets. KNAV in India demystifies the term ‘intangibles’ before considering the tax and transfer pricing (TP) implications of this rapidly evolving phenomenon.

Meanwhile, RSM Indonesia outlines the country’s swift legislative overhaul which has earned it a seat at the global table of tax reform. Domestically, this has led to a vital breakthrough with the BEPS two-pillar solution.

Finally, Deloitte experts spanning Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam present an overview of the respective TP controversies each country is contending with. In a region layered with complexity, it is unsurprising to see tax administrations ramping up enforcement activity – how can taxpayers ensure they are adequately prepared?

We hope you enjoy reading our Asia Guide 2023.
