In connection with KPMG’s Asia-Pacific Tax Summit, KPMG’s Global Energy and Natural Resources Tax practice will be hosting a Roundtable Discussion on the Tax Implication of Carbon Policy. This session will be applicable across industry lines with experience being drawn from the Energy sector.
With the rapid changing developments in the global economy and the tightening allocations and tougher penalties surrounding carbon emissions, companies are taking notice of the rules and many are uncertain what the resulting tax implications will be of implementing a carbon policy.
This global panel will look at the lesson learned from existing carbon markets and the tax implications of buying and selling credits, carbon trading desks, and investments in CDMs. Panellists will also discuss an overview of emerging trading schemes.
Experts from KPMG offices from different parts of the world will be in attendance to share with participants the practice and experience in their respective jurisdictions.

Global Mobility Summit

Time
8:45 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Venue
The Ritz-Carlton, Millennia Singapore

KPMG’s International Executive Services practice will be hosting the 2008 Asia-Pacific Global Mobility Summit.
Global mobility continues to grow increasingly more complex for companies due to ongoing changes in global competition, rapidly evolving technologies, and enhanced corporate and personal risks. These and other challenges have compelled corporate professionals with skills ranging from international HR and tax to immigration and employment law to risk and controls to collaborate more closely on addressing the issues and capitalizing on the opportunities.
Our speakers will help participants to think beyond their immediate concerns by sharing their insights into longer-term demographic trends and the challenges facing global mobility programs, risk mitigation and an evolving regulatory environment related to managing a global workforce.
Our forum will provide an opportunity to discuss and debate these and other challenging issues.
The Global Skills Convergence
KPMG Partner and best-selling author Bernard Salt will deliver the findings of his latest study The Global Skills Convergence, through an interactive workshop. The study argues that the imminent retirement of the baby boomers from the workforce in the developed world and in many Asian countries will precipitate a skills shortage and diminish both consumer demand and growth in the tax base.
In an increasingly global market, talent will migrate to hot spots such as Mumbai, Shanghai, Singapore and Hong Kong. In such a world, organizations need to develop strategies to attract, retain and globally relocate talent. The Global Skills Convergence is an exciting study with fresh ideas and a powerful message for business. Bernard Salt is an experienced and dynamic speaker - his workshop is not to be missed.
The risks caused by extended business travellers and short-term assignees
Against a backdrop of globalization and the transfer of skills across the world, extended business travelers are playing an increasingly larger role in the international assignment arena. With the likely overall increase in the number of extended business travelers within the years to come, it is important to take cognizance of the tax and other compliance related issues.
Discussion in the afternoon will focus on what organizations can do to provide support to their global business goals while mitigating the risks associated with this less visible portion of their globally mobile workforce.
Asia-Pacific developments
The emerging economic strength of the Asia-Pacific region has made it a priority for companies wanting to do business in the world’s most vibrant economies. In a business environment where talent is migrating to various hot spots in and out of the Asia-Pacific region, governments need to develop policies to counter the outflow of talent and to sustain and develop the tax base. Our leading member firm KPMG tax partners in the region will discuss the some of the issues and developments relating to international assignments in the economic hubs of India, China and Singapore.
