Businesses that have moved in a timely manner to digitise their supply chain, (including customs and tax procedures, and custom valuation and transfer pricing) and have become more efficient and developed a new degree of resiliency to create a competitive advantage. This session will explore the consequences of this digitalisation on the nature and speed of international supply chains, tax, trade, and customs, and will pose interesting questions: how does e-commerce affect the processes of product development, manufacturing, distribution, and the taxes and customs outcome? Does it increase their resiliency? Has the recent pandemic accelerated the digitisation of changes to supply chains and has it impacted the ‘reshoring. of functions from abroad?

This panel will further discuss, during Covid-19 times:
• How e-commerce has affected the approaches to tax, trade laws and customs
• The impact on outsourcing
• What we can expect in the future and the key legal issues arising therefrom.
