In the second Retail & Consumer breakfast sponsored by PwC, we look at the challenges facing global retailers as they navigate China's tax and customs environment. These challenges are especially relevant for high-performing luxury brands as they build their national footprint across the country. Managing the complexity within China's tax environment is critical to success.

Topics covered in this presentation include:

• Utilising free trade agreements to save cost: common pitfalls and challenges;
• Managing non-tariff barriers to improve supply chain efficiency;
• The value chain structure for luxury brands;
• How luxury brands negotiate Advance Pricing Agreements to manage transfer pricing risk.
