Course Introduction
Companies are generally aware of the tax implications of cross-border payment of royalties in cross-border trade and will therefore declare, withhold and pay tax to the Chinese tax authorities in accordance with the law. However, it is often easy for companies to overlook the customs implications and fail to declare taxable royalties to Customs in a timely manner, which may result in customs audits and even referral to the Customs Anti-Smuggling Department for investigation and penalties. Through the sharing of cases and practical experience, this seminar aims to help companies identify and assess the customs tax obligations arising from cross-border royalty payments and provide compliance tips on how to declare taxable royalties in different circumstances, so as to facilitate companies to enhance and achieve compliance in cross-border trade.

Course Introduction
China is pushing private companies, including MNCs, to hand more power to employees and other stakeholders. The corporate governance model pursuant to the Company Law incorporates trade unions, workers’ congresses, and basic-level Communist Party organizations. These structures, if implemented, can foster a collaborative spirit and a sense of ownership in challenging times. But they can also pose challenges to managerial autonomy, slow down decision making and ultimately interfere with shareholder prerogatives.
This workshop will examine the legal and practical dimensions of these mechanisms, including their establishment and operation in foreign-invested companies. We will explore how these bodies are formed, how they are governed, how they are funded, and how they interact with management, employees, and business owners.
Target audience
HR professionals, compliance managers, other leadership roles
Training Content
- Overview of the corporate governance framework and the role of company organs.
- Introduction to the legal concept of democratic management.
- Procedures for creating trade unions, workers’ congresses, and party cells.
- Methods for integrating these entities into corporate structures.
- Navigating conflicts between labor-side input and managerial control.
- Strategies for fostering effective communication and collaboration.

Course Introduction
A construction contract may be invalid under certain circumstances. For example, if the contractor fails to obtain the qualifications of a building construction enterprise or exceeds the qualification level, or if the actual constructor borrows the name of a qualified building construction enterprise to sign the contract, these circumstances will lead to the invalidity of the contract. In addition, if a construction project is required to conduct bidding but fails to do so, or if the winning bid is invalid, it will also lead to invalidation of the contract.
However, even if the contract is invalid, if the service work has been completed and accepted, the contractor may still request that the price of the service work be paid in accordance with the contract. This means, that the content and quality of the work actually performed is still protected by the law although the contract is invalid, and the contractor is entitled to be paid accordingly.
Target audience
Engineering enterprise staff, project manager of engineering construction, EPC contractor and subcontractor.
