In order to help you prepare for this significant change the European Chamberhas organised an afternoon seminar, Getting Ready for the VAT Pilot Reform, on 24th July, 2013, at the Kempinski Hotel Beijing.

At this important event, Kenneth Leung, Indirect Tax Partner at Ernst & Young, will brief attendees on the key changes under Circular 37, what implications the pilot reform will have on local and multinational companies and their counterparts, and how they can prepare.
