Singapore Business Federation (SBF), in collaboration with Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan, are pleased to present the India Seminar: Historic Changes to Tax and Arbitration Legislations in India.  The event is also supported by the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI) and the Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF).

India introduced the Good and Services Tax (GST) on 1 July 2017, which is by far the most historic tax reform that the country has seen since independence. While the basic theme of GST in India is the same as GST or VAT implemented across the world, it has significant differences.  The first half of the seminar will focus on basics of the Indian GST system, especially the dual GST model, and the impact of GST on contracts, transactions and business arrangements.

Indian parties are increasingly opting to resolve their international commercial disputes through arbitration that are seated in India as well as in other countries.  In recent years, Singapore has been one of the most popular choices amongst Indian parties to locale their international arbitration matters. With a view to bringing the arbitration regime in line with the best practices, amendments were made to the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996 which came into effect on 23 October 2015.  There have been further amendments proposed recently. India has also enacted the Commercial Courts Act in 2015 and the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code in 2016. A bird’s eye view on the recent changes made to the Arbitration Act will be provided in the latter half of the seminar along with an overview of the new Commercial Courts Act and the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code.  We look forward to seeing you there.
