The Future of Tax in a Geopolitically Transformed World
We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting Baker McKenzie’s 39th Annual Asia Pacific Tax Conference, which will be held in Tokyo on 12 and 13 November 2025.
This prestigious event will bring our leading tax lawyers and practitioners from across Asia Pacific, Europe, and the United States to share strategic insights into the latest developments and trends shaping the global and regional tax landscape.
In an era of ongoing global uncertainty, we will examine pressing issues such as the impact of continued tariff shifts and the growing complexity of global and local tax environments on your business models and strategies. We will discuss how you can achieve resilience and growth amidst these challenges, providing guidance on managing tax affairs, optimizing positions, and mitigating compliance risks.
In addition to jurisdiction-specific updates covering Australia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, we will discuss some of the most critical issues shaping the tax landscape. Key themes include addressing the tax and transfer pricing challenges arising from ongoing tariff turbulence, as well as the complexities of Pillar Two. We will also cover other high-impact topics in a series of focused breakout sessions, including cross-border M&A structuring, intragroup reorganizations, tax audit and controversy management, recent developments in tax case law, strategic approaches to APAs, MAP, and ICAP, the evolving VAT/GST landscape, tariff mitigation strategies and supply chain resilience, and outbound investments from Japan.
