Don’t rely on tax incentives for FDI: analysts
As foreign direct investment (FDI) business representatives and analysts gathered at an investment forum Wednesday morning, Deputy CEO of Deloitte Vietnam Phan Duc Hoang said that the new global minimum corporate tax was designed to block multinationals from tax avoidance. Starting next year Vietnam is set to apply a 15% tax on profits from multinationals with total revenues of at least EUR750 million ($819 million) in two of the preceding four years. Hoang said if a South Korea-based company that has a factory in Vietnam is paying taxes for less than 15% of its profits, it will be taxed in South Korea to ensure the 15% level is achieved. If South Korea does not also implement the extra tax on the company, other countries that have approved the new global minimum corporate tax, such as Indonesia and Thailand, will have the rights to impose the tax, he added. For this reason, Do Thien Anh Tuan from the4 Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management, forecast that Vietnam will … [Read more...] about Don’t rely on tax incentives for FDI: analysts

Scientists have bone to pick with T-Rex skeleton set to sell for millions
A curator gingerly fastens a pointy claw bone with a thin metal wire, completing perhaps the world's biggest construction kit -- reassembling a 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus-Rex called Trinity. The huge skeleton will go under the hammer in a rare auction in Switzerland next month after being sent to Zurich from the United States in nine giant crates. But palaeontologist Thomas Holtz -- who is against the sale of such specimens -- told AFP that it was "misleading" and "inappropriate... to combine multiple real bones from different individuals to create a single skeleton." The Swiss sale comes only four months after Christie's withdrew another T-Rex skeleton days before it was to go under the hammer in Hong Kong after doubts were reported about parts of it. Trinity, the Swiss T-Rex, is made up of bones from three dinosaurs excavated between 2008 and 2013 from the Hell Creek and Lance Creek formations in Montana and Wyoming. The two sites are known for the discoveries of … [Read more...] about Scientists have bone to pick with T-Rex skeleton set to sell for millions
