Tax trends in Asia: regional tax updates and perspectives on global developments
The OECD’s two pillars, which address the tax challenges arising from the digitalisation of the economy, continue to drive tax changes on a global scale. In tandem, local tax laws and the economic environment are also rapidly evolving in many Asian jurisdictions. These are critical considerations for businesses and investments into Asia.
This webinar discusses and provides tax law updates on these salient topics, not only from the taxpayer’s perspective, but also from the tax authorities’ position.

France’s Finance Bill for 2025: management package tax reform
The 2025 Finance Bill introduces a new tax regime for management package gains, in continuity with the Conseil d’Etat’s (French Supreme Administrative Court’s) 2021 framework. Gains realised by employees or corporate officers on securities, in connection with their functions, can benefit from the 30 per cent flat tax regime applicable to capital gains within the limit of a ratio equal to three times the equity multiple of the company. The portion exceeding this cap is taxed as salary. The reform clarifies the relevant tax and social security rules, offers greater legal certainty and revives underused instruments, such as preferred shares. Some uncertainties remain, pending further guidance expected from the French tax authorities in May 2025.
