Financial Leaders luncheon | Strategic Tax Shift

Overview

With major regulatory shifts underway—including the rollout of the 15% global minimum tax under BEPS 2.0, expanded digital trade frameworks, and stricter sustainability-linked compliance mandates—Singapore’s corporate leaders face an urgent need to reassess how they approach compliance. But rather than view these changes as burdens, forward-thinking enterprises see them as a launchpad for transformation.

This roundtable will gather senior tax, finance, legal, and trade professionals to decode the implications of Singapore’s 2025 tax and trade reforms—and examine how the right compliance strategy can unlock efficiency, reduce risk, and drive enterprise growth.

Key Discussion Points:

BEPS 2.0 in Practice: How the global minimum tax, Income Inclusion Rule (IIR), and Domestic Top-up Tax are affecting multinational operations—and strategies for compliance with minimal disruption.

Redefining Cross-Border Trade: The evolving role of digital trade agreements and electronic deferred payment systems in simplifying trade operations and boosting regional competitiveness.

Sustainability and Supply Chain Transparency: What new ESG-linked reporting mandates mean for trade compliance teams—and how to prepare for multi-jurisdictional audits.

Compliance as a Growth Lever: Leveraging regulatory technology platforms—like ONESOURCE and Checkpoint—to shift from reactive compliance to proactive risk mitigation and decision support.
