The trend of multinational enterprises ("MNEs") realigning their supply and value chains has accelerated in recent years, hastened by advances in technology, growing globalisation of services industries and fuelled by the need to expand into new markets for growth. Many of these growth markets are in the Asia Pacific region where MNEs have historically invested on a country-by-country basis. In order to sustain their competitive advantage, many MNE’s are examining ways to centralise or re-engineer various operations from procurement, supply chain management, intellectual property ownership and management, through to distribution. Where feasible the MNEs naturally seek to marry such business change within a sustainable and tax advantaged structure.
Realising the operational and subsequent tax benefits expected from a new business model requires MNEs to place greater emphasis on sustainable change and their ability to evidence and defend the substance, integrity and risk profile of such models from a tax and regulatory perspective. Experience indicates that MNEs fail to realise these benefits when they do not plan adequately for:
(i) converting the business model and structural design into effective operational models; and
(ii) establishing processes and controls to sustain the business change in the long-term.
In this webcast, our Value Chain Transformation ("VCT") network specialists discussed how business structures and transaction flows are just the start of a change process and, through case studies from both the client and advisor perspective, discussed and demonstrated the need to consider and plan for the related operational changes and subsequent sustainability with equal rigour.
