Our affiliated researcher, Sam Sim, a senior-of-counsel at Taxise LLC was a keynote speaker at the “Tax Governance in the Era of Digital Economy“ conference on 13 December 2020 alongside the Honourable Pascal Saint-Amans and Prof Dr Geoffrey Owens. The conference was a top level China international tax conference co-hosted by the China State Tax Administration’s publication, Beijing National Accounting Institute and Alibaba Group.
The prestigious conference in hybrid online and offline format was attended by more than 300 leaders from finance and tax authorities, universities, large enterprises, tax consulting agencies and news media organizations.
Apart from being awarded the top prize jointly with another paper by the National Tax Institute of China State Taxation Administration and Suzhou University International Taxation Strategic Research and Consulting Center, Sam shared at the conference participants insights from research which showed that Pillars 1 and 2 notwithstanding, the true disruption in digital taxation may lie in the future, with the rise of the East Asian ‘entrepreneur’ in profit splits given the greater speed of post-COVID recovery and the increasing technological prowess of East Asia economies in developing, enhancing, maintaining and ultimately protecting intellectual property and setting global standards.
