On the afternoon of May 28, a training session titled “Transfer Pricing Compliance and Tax Risk Management for Enterprises Going Global,” jointly organized by the Xi'an High-Tech Enterprise Association and the Xi'an Listed Companies Association and co-organized by Kaiyuan Securities, was held at the Kaiyuan Securities Gaoxin Huijin Wealth Center. The Xi'an Municipal Tax Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation, the Tax Bureau of the Xi'an High-Tech Industrial Development Zone of the State Administration of Taxation, and the Business Bureau of the Xi'an High-Tech Zone provided guidance and support for this event. The event attracted numerous CFOs, tax officers, and senior executives in charge of international business from various enterprises; the venue was packed, and the atmosphere was highly enthusiastic.

As more and more companies in Xi'an High-tech Zone accelerate their overseas expansion, cross-border tax compliance, transfer pricing risk management, and the establishment of overseas corporate structures have become real challenges for enterprises seeking to expand abroad in a stable and sustainable manner. This training session focuses on topics including the latest developments in OECD Pillar Two and Amount B, pricing strategies for related-party transactions, practical approaches to multi-country tax compliance, and global macroeconomic trends—aiming to help companies strengthen their risk-control defenses and enhance their international competitiveness.

Li Qianyang, Deputy Director of the International Taxation Division of the Xi'an Municipal Tax Bureau, delivered a speech. She pointed out that cross-border tax compliance is the fundamental guarantee for enterprises to go global in a steady and sustainable manner. The tax authorities will continue to optimize international tax services, helping enterprises make good use of tax treaties and mitigate the risk of double taxation. At the same time, she reminded enterprises to pay close attention to preparing contemporaneous documentation for transfer pricing and ensuring the quality of related-party reporting.

Subsequently, a relevant official from the Business Bureau of Xi'an High-tech Zone provided a detailed introduction to the functions of the “Xi'an High-tech Zone Trade Comprehensive Service Platform” and its supporting policies. The official offered practical guidance to enterprises from multiple angles—including export credit insurance, overseas trade shows, and cross-border settlement—helping businesses more efficiently reap the benefits of these policies.

The core component of this training is led by a team of senior international tax experts from EY (China) Business Consulting Co., Ltd. Drawing on more than ten years of experience in global tax services, the three experts will provide in-depth explanations on various topics:

Interactive Communication: Answering Questions and Addressing Concerns—Reception is Enthusiastic.

During the final Q&A session and free exchange of ideas, representatives from participating companies actively asked questions, engaging in in-depth discussions with the experts on practical issues such as pricing methods for cross-border related-party transactions, pathways for repatriating profits from overseas subsidiaries, and the application procedures for advance pricing arrangements. Several participants remarked that the training content closely addressed the real pain points faced by companies going global, that the experts provided clear and thorough explanations, and that the combination of policy theory and practical application was particularly insightful, offering direct guidance for their future work.

This training session is one of a series of initiatives undertaken by the Xi'an High-Tech Enterprise Association and the Xi'an Listed Companies Association to help their member enterprises “go global.” Moving forward, the associations will continue to collaborate with specialized institutions and government departments to organize more focused events on topics such as cross-border compliance, international taxation, and overseas investment and financing.
