A note from our Tax, Business Intelligence, and Editorial teams:
Last week, US “Liberation” Day thrust us into a world where trade and investment bears new volatility and risks, and pathways are challenging to plan for. Businesses must keep pace to have an edge, in this new and rapidly evolving global landscape.
As Asia trade and investment specialists for over 30 years, we can help you navigate: - Market Updates. Asia Briefing’s Editors will keep you informed with articles, reports, and updates about risk and opportunity across our Asia core markets.
- Transfer Pricing. Our tax experts are moving quickly to help companies adjust to new policies and optimize for benchmarks via bespoke TP planning, analysis, documentation, policy monitoring, and dispute resolution services.
- Trade and Tariff Advisory. Our Business Intelligence teams provide tailored tariff advisory, country benchmarking, market research and partner matching, helping companies to prepare supply chain options and contingency plans.
- Operations. Our Corporate Services teams can guide and assist with legal, tax, accounting, HR, and IT strategies and support to help weather the storm.
Please contact our Business Intelligence team, our Transfer Pricing team, or an advisor near you for further knowledge and assistance with mitigating the impacts of tariffs on your business. | | | | | The US has increased tariffs on Chinese goods to 104 percent and introduced additional tariffs on other global trade partners.
