BDO Corporate Tax News - Issue 58

BDO Corporate Tax News summarises recent tax developments of international interest across the world. 

The pandemic may still have its grip on a large part of the globe, but the legislative processes of most  countries are still moving forward. This 58th issue of BDO’s Corporate Tax News focuses on budgets  and finance acts in Hong Kong, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Tunisia and the UK, as well as upcoming changes  in Canada, Poland and Zimbabwe and proposed changes in the U.S.  

The newsletter also highlights a new preferential regime for manufacturing services in Panama,  a court case involving the characterization of software payments in India and improvements to dispute  resolution  in Korea.  The lead article spotlights how businesses are increasingly adopting and articulating clear tax principles  aligned to their broader environmental, social and governance agendas. 

We trust that you will find this issue, produced in close cooperation with our BDO colleagues, useful and informative.
