The European Chamber Beijing Chapter is delighted to invite you to a seminar on the Sino-German Double Taxation Agreement.
Finally, the new China-Germany tax treaty has been signed after long years of waiting. Replacing the old treaty from 1985, it aligns the tax treatment of cross-border transactions and relationships with the latest trends in international economic policy. The new treaty contains changes for both corporate and individual taxpayers and offers opportunities but also poses risks and challenges.
In this seminar, Mr. Alexander Prautzsch, Tax director of PwC China, will present the main changes in the treaty and their background. He also will highlight key risks and opportunities by using representative case studies and examples. Furthermore he will compare the German treaty with other treaties that China recently signed or enacted with other European countries. Ms. Tanja Fuchs, Senior Manager of Human Capital - Global Mobility team with E&Y, will provide an overview of the changes which will especially affect individual taxpayers, such as seconded employees to China, as soon as the provisions of the new treaty are applicable.
Issues to be addressed include: What impact will the new treaty have on German companies doing business in China? What does it mean for their investment structure? And what will change for individuals working in China?
