| | | | China’s new outbound investment regulation brings national security review, data and technology controls, lifecycle supervision, and countermeasure mechanisms into one unified framework. Companies planning overseas investments from China should reassess approval pathways, reporting obligations, transaction structuring, and post-investment compliance controls before moving capital offshore. | | | | | The US proposed Section 301 tariffs linked to forced labor concerns could create new trade compliance exposure for Vietnam-based exporters and regional supply chains. Companies in affected sectors should review sourcing records, supplier due diligence, product traceability, and documentation readiness before the measures advance. | | | | | As foreign companies scale across ASEAN, finance leadership often becomes a regional risk issue rather than a back-office function. A Singapore-based Virtual CFO can support treasury management, investor reporting, governance, financial controls, and transaction readiness as operations become more complex. | | | | | India’s Special Valuation Branch scrutiny now requires stronger alignment between customs valuation, intercompany agreements, Form 48 tax filings, HSN classifications, royalties, and transfer pricing positions. Multinational importers should review their SVB readiness before queries, provisional assessments, or audit exposure disrupt operations. | | | | | The UAE has introduced a strict deadline for claiming tax credit refunds, with unused balances now subject to permanent forfeiture after five years. Businesses that have accumulated tax credits need to act before the window closes. | | |
