SUMMARY:Tax Workshop: Changes in Taxation for Expat UK Property Owners

The long awaited consultation document has now been published and we can comment more precisely on the proposals. This workshop offered several insightful updates in lieu of these changes in taxation and considered their effect on expats in Singapore. We were pleased to have Mr. Martin Rimmer\, Tax Manager of the Asia-Pacific region\, who put together an interesting and engaging presentation.\nMartin is a Senior Tax Manager at The Fry Group and is a specialist in residence\, domicile\, inheritance tax planning and tax efficient wealth structuring and protection.

SUMMARY:Hidden Gems in the Ranks: Innovation and Growth through Multicultural Managers
DESCRIPTION:EuroCham in collaboration with Insead and HayGroup hosted a breakfast talk about multicultural managers and professionals in global companies. For example\, as L’Oreal transformed itself from a very French business into a global leader\, it has grappled with the tension that is at the heart of every global enterprise: achieving economies of scale and scope\, which requires some uniformity and integration of activities across markets. However\, serving regional and national beauty markets also requires the adaptation of products\, services\, and business models to local conditions. Yves doz and Hae-Jung developed a set of propositions and recommendations about how to get the most from multicultural managers and utilize powerful talent.
