| | Establishing a trading company in China requires careful planning beyond incorporation. A workable business scope, customs registration, product-specific licensing, and the export refund rules introduced with the new VAT Law now determine how quickly a new entity can actually move goods. | | | | The 2 October 2026 e-filing deadline is approaching for D-code companies (i.e., those with a December accounting year-end) that are filing electronically through a tax representative. Review extension eligibility, required documents, iXBRL preparation, e-filing procedures, and key compliance steps before submission. | | | | Acquiring a Vietnamese company does not automatically eliminate its accumulated corporate income tax losses. Learn how carried-forward tax losses are treated when acquiring a Vietnamese company, including share deals, asset purchases and restructuring risks. | | | | The Karnataka S&CE (Amendment) Act 2026 introduces key changes to registration, digital compliance, employee documentation, and enforcement. Learn how the amendments affect businesses operating in the state. | | | | Singapore companies can pay dividends to foreign shareholders if they have profits available for distribution and complete the required approvals. Foreign ownership does not itself prevent a shareholder from receiving dividends. | | |

COMPLIMENTARY BUSINESS RESOURCES: | | | Rather than treating exports, FTAs, and incorporation as separate decisions, this guide presents them as an integrated market-entry strategy, helping businesses reduce risks, strengthen compliance, and build a foundation for sustainable growth in one of the world's fastest growing major economies. | | | | This issue explains how India’s labor codes, state-level minimum wage rules, employment models, contractor risks, payroll TDS obligations, and the Income-tax Act, 2025 affect workforce planning, compensation structuring, HR administration, and employee exits. |
