Part 1 - Update on fund regulation in Europe and United States - and the consequences for Private Equity Funds in Asia!
Both the European Commission and the United States Congress are issuing more stringent compliance rules and regulations for the fund industry. We will briefly discuss the consequences of these new rules for the Asian Private Equity funds.
Part 2 - How to best structure your acquisition further to the tax changes in China and India?
In this part, the speakers will briefly outline the opportunities to lower tax costs so to increase the fund's return by setting up intermediate holding companies. The countries which are typically considered as intermediate holding jurisdictions will be presented from a tax and practical perspective. Further, local developments (China, India etc.) which may limit the benefits of offshore holding structures will be discussed.
Panel discussion: Case studies for investments into China, India, Japan |

China taxes indirect transfer of PRC company by nonresident (July 2010)
Investors into Chinese companies, when making their investments, have always considered the option of using intermediate holding companies through which to hold their investments in those Chinese companies. To date, the majority of investors, in fact, do so. The decision of the Chinese tax authorities in the recently reported Jiangsu case underlines the need for investors who have used intermediate holding companies to hold their investments in Chinese companies to revisit their decisions; urgently, if the amount of tax payable on the disposal of the intermediate holding company is a significant factor in the investment decision.
Hong Kong SAR Signs Comprehensive Double Taxation Agreements with U.K. and Ireland (July 2010)
Hong Kong concluded comprehensive double taxation agreements ("DTAs") with U.K. and Ireland on 21 June 2010 on 22 June 2010 respectively. The new DTAs provide U.K. and Ireland investors with greater certainty as to their tax liabilities in connection with cross-border investments with Hong Kong and vice versa. This article covers the key tax benefits of the DTAs and provides a comparison of tax treatment of dividends, interest and royalties in Hong Kong's DTAs with key European holding jurisdictions.
SEC registration for non US advisers under the Dodd-Frank Act (July 2010)
President Obama has now signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Included in the Act are amendments to the SEC registration threshold for investment advisers which are likely to impact a very large number of non US fund managers who were not previously required to register with the SEC.
