The Finance and Taxation Working Group consists of member companies that range from multinational corporations (MNCs) to law firms operating inside China. The objective of the working group is to engage in an effective dialogue with regulators to develop a more workable, coherent and integrated set of taxation, finance and accounting rules, in line with international best practices. The working group's recommendations are not sector specific but represent the interests of all member companies of the European Chamber. While the HR Working Group aims to provide a platform to exchange information, promote awareness on HR and labour related issues across all industrial and service sectors, by developing an open dialog with relevant Chinese authorities and international organisations.

The ultimate goal of the Working Group Insight Session is to bring together the European Chamber members in Shanghai, and the local and national Chinese communities through the introduction and discussion.

We are pleased to invite you to this Finance and Taxation + Human Resource Working Group Insights event taking place Thursday 2^nd September 2021 at 4pm at our Shanghai Office. In this event, the Finance and Taxation + Human Resource Working Group will introduce you who we are and what we are planning to do at this platform.
