Originated from 2017, Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) Day is observed annually on the 27th June to raise awareness about the important role played by MSMEs in the global economy and to recognize their contribution to sustainable development. This year, it is celebrated under the theme Resilience and Rebuilding to raise awareness of the tremendous contributions of MSMEs to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

European SMEs are the backbone of the EU economy, employing 100 million people and representing 99% of businesses. They contribute over half of Europe's GDP and add value to every sector. SMEs bring innovation to challenges such as climate change, resource efficiency, and social cohesion, and help spread it throughout Europe's regions. They are crucial to the EU's transition to a sustainable and digital economy, playing a key role in driving growth and creating jobs.

Therefore, the European Chamber organizes a webinar titled "HR for SMEs" to mark MSMEs Day. The webinar is aimed at equipping SME owners with insights and strategies on how to efficiently manage their human resources. It will emphasize the challenges faced by SMEs in attracting and retaining talents, identifying and nurturing talents, and creating a conducive work environment. The webinar will provide practical solutions and tips for HR management, which will be intended to empower SMEs to grow and thrive in today's competitive business environment.

The European Chamber, in collaboration with Roland Berger, cordially invites you to attend the launch of its Business Confidence Survey (BCS) 2023 on 21st June, from 14:00–16:00 (Beijing time).

At the event, Mr Carlo Diego D'Andrea, Vice President of the European Chamber and Chairman of the Shanghai Board will present the key national findings of this year’s survey with a local Shanghai focus to explore the reasons behind Shanghai’s decreasing allure as a destination for regional HQs.

Since China ended its ‘zero-COVID’ strategy, Chinese officials have been on a charm offensive in an attempt to restore the country’s allure as an investment destination. However, more will need to be done if China is to successfully reverse the deterioration of business sentiment that has taken place over the past three years.

European companies have already begun shifting investments overseas and faced with growing risks and a more volatile operating environment, many have adjusted their investment and operational strategies. There is now an increased focus on making operations more durable—for example, through localisation or diversification of supply chains—as opposed to capturing market share. With China’s economy facing numerous headwinds, this trend appears set to continue at least into the medium-term.

近三年来，海关将进口货物审价的重点转向了特殊关系影响成交价格的审查，特别存在转让定价安排的龙头跨国企业是海关审查的重要对象。由于海关往往倾向于认定企业整体利润率过高是因为进口价格过低导致，需要调高进口价格补税；而税务机关恰恰相反，倾向于防止利润率过低侵蚀所得税税基。现有海关和税务机关各自的价格预裁定和预约价格安排机制虽可在一定程度上提高企业对执法的预见性，但是由于缺乏协调机制，在两部门相互冲突的税收目标下，跨国企业制定转让定价安排仍然面临不确定的税务负担和冲突的审查标准。而且，实践中海关很少对价格作出预裁定，预裁定更多被应用于归类领域。

2022年5月18日，深圳海关和国家税务总局、深圳市税务局联合发布了《关于实施关联进口货物转让定价协同管理有关事项的通告》（深关税〔2022〕62号）旨在解决这一问题。据悉，本次协同管理系在海关总署和国家税务总局共同指导下形成的全国首例海关、税务转让定价协同管理的方案（简称“本次方案”），很可能对其他地方的海关和税务机关形成示范、推广效应，非常值得存在转让定价安排的关联进口企业，特别跨国企业的关注。为此，欧盟商会南京分会特邀德勤海关、税务专家结合过往应对海关转让定价审查的经验对本次方案中的重点内容做出分析、解读，供相关企业参考。

In the past 3 years, due to the lack of coordination mechanism, transnational enterprises still face uncertain tax burden and conflicting examination standards when making transfer pricing arrangements under the conflicting tax objectives of the Customs and the Taxation Bureau. Moreover, in practice, the customs seldom makes a preliminary ruling on the price, and the preliminary ruling is more used in the field of classification.

On May 18, 2022, Shenzhen Customs, the State Administration of Taxation and Shenzhen Municipal Taxation Bureau jointly issued the Notice on Matters Related to the Implementation of the Coordinated Management of Transfer Pricing of Related Import Goods (Shenzhen Tariff [2022] 62) to address this problem. It is reported that this coordinated management is the first coordinated management scheme of Customs and tax transfer pricing in China under the guidance of the General Administration of Customs and the State Administration of Taxation (referred to as "this scheme"), which is likely to have a demonstration and promotion effect on customs and tax authorities in other places, and is very worthy of the attention of related import enterprises with transfer pricing arrangements, especially multinational enterprises. Therefore, the European Chamber Nanjing invited the experts from Deloitte to review the customs transfer pricing and interpret the key content of this program combining with the past experience.
