Unlock the full potential of your business in China with insights tailored to the unique “China for China” approach. This in-depth event with experts from Rödl & Partner China will guide you through both the legal and tax landscapes that are critical for success in the China market. What You’ll Explore:


Defining “China for China”:

  • Discover what a localized production strategy really means—from adapting your manufacturing processes under China’s “Made in China” framework to choosing the optimal setup (whether a China WFOE, joint venture, or other structure) that meets your business needs.

 

Legal Strategies with Ralph Koppitz:

  • Legal practicalities of local purchasing, production, R&D, sales.

  • Intellectual property protection strategies, including managing rights and return licensing to your German headquarter.

  • Navigating local legal frameworks, from financing options and KYC processes to simplifying data protection.


Tax Strategies with Monica Chen:

  • The spectrum of tax incentives available—ranging from preferential rates for high-tech companies and SMEs to special benefits in certain regions.

  • Detailed guidance on intra-group service pricing, cost allocation, and the nuances of consolidated licensing.

  • Overcoming common tax challenges such as managing non-compliant VAT receipts and aligning your tax strategy with both local and international requirements.

 

Contingency and Risk Management:

  • Learn how to structure your operations to include a temporary exit strategy in the worst-case scenario that China is isolated from the rest of the world.
