Session information
Advising in the mega–economies: China and India, under the spotlight
Tuesday 2 March (1530 - 1645)
Description
China and India are home to a fast-growing share of the world's high-net-worth families, and both are seeing large amounts of wealth pass to the next generation. Advisers to these families face real complexity. This session looks at the main succession, compliance, and tax issues that arise when advising Chinese and Indian families and their global structures. Topics include how family ownership principles interact with offshore trusts and holding companies, and how far foreign wills and trusts are recognised and enforced in each jurisdiction. The session also considers the effect of tax residence and the reach of each country's tax rules, the practical challenges of exchange controls and moving assets offshore, and the growing transparency created by CRS and beneficial ownership regimes.
