We will be welcoming Dr. Gernot Klotz who is coming all the way from Europe to provide us with his insights on Public-Private Cooperation as a Driver to Create New Innovation Opportunities. Europe is excellent in creating knowledge and intellectual property. It is however weak vis-a-vis it´s global competitors in turning this knowledge into value within the increasingly short time-span. A short presentation will be given on how Europe is responding to this paradox with innovative initiatives and strategic approaches on research and innovation.

Join us on this buffet-style breakfast seminar that provides a bite-sized piece of professional knowledge on the Golden Tax System to start your day.
A major tax administration project, which should be implemented nationwide by the end of 2016, will have a significant impact on filing and reporting obligations relating to individual income tax (IIT) in China. The “Golden Tax System” (GTS) is an electronic tax administration system developed by the Chinese government in the 1990s as one of 12 government information management systems. The first two iterations of the system, GTS I and II, used information technology mainly to improve compliance with China’s value-add tax regulations, notably the use and authentication of fapiaos, etc. The third version of GTS (GTS III) contains more sophisticated functionality that ultimately will be integrated with all industries, tax categories and tax administration areas, especially for PRC Individual Income Tax (IIT) purposes.
