MANILA, Philippines - The Center for Global Best Practices, in collaboration with Sycip Salazar Hernandez and Gatmaitan Law Offices, is holding a pioneering seminar entitled “Best Practices in Handling Customs Tax Audits & Remedies†on Thursday, June 5, 2014 at the EDSA Shangri-la Hotel, Mandaluyong City, Philippines.
This special program is designed to help importers learn how to deal fairly and squarely with the Bureau of Customs (BOC). Empower yourself and your organization by knowing about the rights of that matter, understand the BOC’s basis of assessment/ audit to save on unnecessary taxes, know what to do in case of warrants and seizures, and learn how to craft letters to challenge the valuations/ under-declaration charges imposed by the BOC. This will also include updates and recent developments on customs’ regulation that impact on business transactions.
This solutions-oriented program will tackle comprehensively the administrative, judicial, procedural and substantive remedies to problems encountered by importers on issues of customs tax and duties with the BOC. The expert practitioners in this field will share their best practices, important lessons, real stories, updates and cases decided by the Court of Tax Appeals and Supreme Court.
