2021 has been another challenging year for businesses, who continue their efforts to respond in an agile manner to the impacts of the pandemic and geopolitical changes. In parallel, many governments have taken the opportunity to introduce tax changes which would otherwise not be easy to implement during good economic times.

China has introduced many indirect tax changes in 2021 and it is understood that plans have been made to make further changes in 2022. 

This ITR webinar:

  • Provides a stock take of the Chinese indirect tax policy changes in 2021

  • Previews the Chinese indirect tax changes anticipated for 2022, including but not limited to impacts from the Chinese VAT Law and Consumption Tax Law legislative process

  • Discusses anticipated Chinese green taxes developments

The 60-minute webinar was moderated by ITR
