4 June 2019 Implications of the new substance requirements in certain offshore jurisdictions (“Venue Changed due to over subscription”)
In an effort to comply with the EU’s and the OECD’s requirements, a number of tax neutral jurisdictions such as Bermuda, the BVI and the Cayman Islands have enacted domestic economic substance legislation effective from 1 January 2019. Detailed guidance has also been issued by certain jurisdictions during the past few months.
As it is common for Hong Kong corporate groups to use entities in tax neutral jurisdictions for investment holding and other purposes, this new development may have significant impact on the business community in Hong Kong.
In this seminar, our speakers will provide you with:
- Background of the economic substance requirements
- Summary of the economic substance legislation enacted, and detailed guidance issued, by some tax neutral jurisdictions
- Potential consequences for non-compliance
- Possible options to deal with the changes and issues to consider
