Asia is emerging as a major consumer market and companies are outgrowing their current footprint of operations there. In response, multinational companies are making changes to their supply chains in the region to keep pace and adapt to the current environment as well as position themselves for future growth. The tax implications of these changes can be complex and may offer significant tax planning opportunities and present pitfalls to avoid and risks to be managed.

This 75-minute audio Webcast examines various direct and indirect tax implications of changing the Asia segment of a company's global supply chain. Senior-level KPMG professionals with extensive tax efficient supply chain experience discuss how corporate tax, transfer pricing, value-added tax, and customs and duties are affected under a variety of supply chain scenarios.

The Webcast also focuses on possible alternative operating models as well as the considerations that arise when companies modify and enhance their current Asian supply chain structures.
