This issue begins with our lead article on managing tax controversies in turbulent times (pdf file, 211KB). With the global economic meltdown, tax authorities around the world are doing their best to protect their tax revenues and are becoming more vigilant in cracking down on abusive tax practices. There are also increasing calls by the international tax community for greater transparency and more international cooperation to curb harmful tax practices. All of these have made managing the potential exposure to tax controversies more pertinent than ever. The article looks at some of the recent developments in this area and discusses how multinational corporations could respond to meet these challenges.

This issue of Asia Pacific Tax Notes also has the usual round up of tax developments in the region. These mainly focus on recent budgetary developments and measures and incentives introduced by governments to encourage investment and stimulate business activities in the economic downturn.
