The Government of India has been consistently focusing on fiscal reforms to drive the "Make in India" campaign. Recently, Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes have been being instituted by the Federal Government which provide incentives to organizations undertaking manufacturing activities in India and is applicable to both domestic sales and to exports from India. The PLI schemes are sector focused and currently cover 13 different sectors. These schemes can be availed in parallel with state incentives as well as corporate tax concessions emerging from legal entity structuring. The early rounds of PLI notifications had significant patronage which has encouraged the government to explore extending it to additional sectors beyond the 13. Join our Deloitte specialists and stay updated on the PLI schemes. (Live presentation was aired on 29 April 2021)

中国国家税务总局（以下简称"STA"）于2021年7月30日发布了《关于单边预约定价安排适用简易程序有关事项的公告》（国家税务总局公告2021年第24号）（以下简称"24号公告"），公告将于2021年9月1日正式生效。自2016年预约定价安排（以下简称"APA"）新规出台以来，越来越多在华经营的跨国企业开始考虑使用APA以实现税收确定性。然而，根据现行APA法规，单边预约定价安排（以下简称"UAPA"）和双边预约定价安排（以下简称"BAPA"）申请均涉及六个阶段，税企双方往往需要很长时间才能达成最终共识。为提高谈签效率，24号公告为UAPA制定了简易申请程序。根据该公告，申请UAPA的程序将尽可能被简化，其申请流程将从目前六个阶段缩短至三个阶段；简易程序对税务机关受理APA申请和协商签署这两个关键环节也提出了明确的时间限制，企业最快有望在6至9个月之内与税务机关完成整个UAPA的谈签。新的APA法规将为纳税人实现税收确定性另辟蹊径，有望成为我国APA实际应用中一个重要的里程碑。 (Live Presentation was aired on 12 August 2021)
