Dear Chemical Week reader,
The current macroeconomic developments in the world have heavily affected the chemical industry. In this uncertain economic climate, it’s more important than ever to know how to adapt. As multinational organizations evaluate business restructuring, including strategic financing, manufacturing rationalization, and cost reduction programs, the value and supply chains of these organizations are significantly affected. This presents opportunities to save millions in taxes – and risks that your tax burden will grow significantly.
Chemical Week and KPMG welcome you to join our tax webinar and participate in a discussion of recent developments in the TESCM area. KPMG tax experts will give crucial insight on economic and legislative changes, the current tax environment, and other pressing issues, including recent developments in U.S. contract manufacturing regulations. This webinar is a must for anyone concerned with recent economic, tax and regulatory changes. It will help you learn to navigate this area’s risks, cope with its changes, and make the most of its opportunities.
