Although optimization of ASEAN based investment can present a degree of uncertainty due to the magnitude of regulation and diversity within the regional bloc’s labor markets, those with up-to-date information on staffing regulation, prevailing hiring conditions, and costs between markets will be able to make targeted decisions pertaining to the location and structure of their operations. In this issue of ASEAN Briefing, we discuss the prevailing structure of ASEAN’s labor markets and outline key considerations regarding wages and compliance at all levels of the value chain. We highlight comparative sentiment on labor markets within the region, showcase differences in cost and compliance between markets, and provide insight on the state of statutory social insurance obligations throughout the bloc.

Within the modern, globalized market, maintaining a competitive edge necessitates identifying new growth opportunities and ways of cutting costs. It is for this reason that entering into the Asian market has become more of an essential, than optional, part of a successful business model.

In our experience at Dezan Shira & Associates, some of the most important parts of an effective Asia market-entry strategy are hiring the right staff and clearly understanding the associated laws for doing so. While a Western business may have a firm grasp of HR procedures in their home country, companies often find that their established practices have almost no bearing in Asia. Without adapting to and understanding the unique HR challenges of individual Asian nations, firms risk incurring substantial yet completely avoidable losses.

In this issue of Asia Briefing, we set out to provide readers with a basic understanding of how to navigate the HR procedures of China, India and Vietnam. We begin by introducing the most common employment contract structures in each of these countries, as well as their laws for employment probation. We then take a look at the three’s increasingly complex procedures for obtaining work/business visas, and conclude with a special feature on how to legally terminate an employee across Asia.

Several key Asian destinations for foreign investment have introduced new HR legislation in the last two years alone. With more than 20 years’ experience of managing HR in Asia, Dezan Shira & Associates is well equipped to help businesses understand the region’s various procedures. We hope readers find this issue helpful and informative.

For businesses seeking to boost their competitive presence in Asia, exploring options for investment in e-commerce and e-retail can be the key to formulating an effective strategy for sustainable growth and development. With consumers in the Asia-Pacific region set to dominate e-commerce spending this year and lead global e-retail growth through the end of the decade, the potential costs of failing to establish and consolidate an e-commerce presence in Asia have never been higher.

In this issue of Asia Briefing Magazine, we provide a comprehensive overview of e-commerce trends across the Asia-Pacific region with a focus on developing markets in Southeast Asia. In addition to analyzing macro-level economic and development indicators that signal the potential for region-wide growth, we explore several rapidly growing markets in-depth while highlighting opportunities for investment in each.

As e-commerce spreads throughout the developed and developing world, the online transactions it facilitates will continue to provide a level of convenience previously unimaginable to businesses and consumers alike—offering digital buyers access to goods and services that would otherwise be unavailable in their immediate localities. Empowering buyers to place orders for products at their leisure and compare notes on styles, prices, and quality with their online peers, e-commerce has effectively revolutionized how business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions are conducted.

The Asian supply chain is rapidly changing. China, a dominant player in the Asia-Pacific for the past two decades, is becoming ever-more expensive as its working population both ages and becomes increasingly wealthy. At the same time, a number of other Asian countries are now hotbeds of commercial activity. Infrastructural improvements are being made, and new young working populations are emerging throughout the region. 

All this has a significant impact on the global sourcing industry. In a competitive market, getting the best available quality at the best available price is an absolute prerequisite for success. Failure comes at a high price. 

In this issue of Asia Briefing, we explain how and why the Asian sourcing market is changing, compare wage overheads, and look at where certain types of products are being manufactured and exported. We discuss the impact of ASEAN’s Free Trade Agreements with China and India, and highlight the options available for establishing a sourcing model in three locations: Vietnam, China, and India. Finally, our Expert Commentary examines the differences in quality control in each of these markets.

In a global economy dominated by industrial powers, the city-state of Singapore has carved out its competitive niche as a destination for regional headquarters, branch offices and holding companies. Featuring one of the most stable and business-friendly legal and tax regimes in the world, Singapore has long been the preferred location for foreign investors seeking to establish a holding company to pursue investments through the ASEAN region, China and India. 

In this issue of Asia Briefing Magazine, we highlight and explore Singapore’s position as a holding company location for outbound investment, most notably for companies seeking to enter ASEAN and other emerging markets in Asia. We explore the numerous FTAs, DTAs and tax incentive programs that make Singapore the preeminent destination for holding companies in Southeast Asia, in addition to the requirements and procedures foreign investors must follow to establish and incorporate a holding company.

As ASEAN inches ever-closer to economic integration in the ASEAN Economic Community next year, Singapore’s imperative role as the de facto financial and commercial capital of Southeast Asia will be unassailable. Foreign investors should closely observe and anticipate Singapore and ASEAN’s ascension to the forefront of economic progress and development in Asia.

ASEAN is synonymous with integration. Whether in terms of the closely-knit economies of the ASEAN-6, the narrowing gap between these and CLMV (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam) in the lead up to ASEAN Economic Community 2015, or even more ambitious proposals such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) or Trans-Pacific Partnership, the leaders of Southeast Asia have shown unflagging commitment to making transnational trade a defining feature of the region.

Unsurprisingly, the ten-nation bloc has been high on the watchlist of foreign investors, especially against the backdrop of China’s declining competitiveness. But with upwards of $US1.5 trillion in trade flowing through the region annually and a combined GDP of nearly US$2.5 trillion, deciding how and where to bring your business into ASEAN can be a bewildering exercise. Cognizant of the risks involved in any foreign investment venture, Dezan Shira & Associates offers insight pooled from our established presence in Vietnam and Singapore, and partner firms throughout the region.

In this issue of Asia Briefing, we forecast the effects of ASEAN Economic Community on foreign investment into the region in the lead up to 2015. Following this, we highlight what is happening in some of ASEAN’s hottest industries for investment, including electronics, information and communications technology, textiles and medical devices. Lastly, we examine the growing potential of bilateral trade between ASEAN and India in light of recent historic developments in the latter.

For a comprehensive list of trade agreements ASEAN is signatory to, as well as the latest updates on regulatory, legal and tax issues affecting investment in the region, please log on to our website at www.aseanbriefing.com.

Key Considerations When Choosing a Payroll Outsourcing Model
Calculating Individual Income Tax & Social Insurance
The Accelerating Trend Towards Outsourcing Payroll Processing in Asia
Collecting tax revenue and administering social insurance are two of the most fundamental roles of government. When establishing or operating a business in Asia, companies must take special care to comply with regulations concerning taxes deducted at the source of employee payroll (withholding tax) and mandatory contributions to social insurance programs.

As you might expect in a region comprising so much diversity and complexity, the systems utilized by governments in places like China and Vietnam (countries with large populations and with a communist background) are substantially different than those in places like Hong Kong and Singapore - small jurisdictions with a distinctly capitalist outlook. India, a populous emerging nation with a democratic system of government, provides an interesting contrast in terms of how it taxes and supports its citizens

An Introduction to Taxation in Asia
Analysis of Asia’s Tax Rates
Individual Income Tax Across Asia
Handling Cross Border Tax & Finance in Asia 

For foreign companies, deciding where to establish a direct presence in Asia can be a difficult process. Where once only a handful of the region’s nations fit the bill of being simultaneously inexpensive, safe and appropriate for foreign direct investment (FDI), now a number of other countries are shortening the gap between themselves and the region’s biggest economies. In particular, India appears on course to rival its neighbor China as a destination for FDI, and a number of the smaller economies in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are growing at a faster pace than ever before.

For these reasons, businesses must keep up-to-date with the numerous tax systems of the region. The tax laws of Asia, although connected to a certain extent through the region’s various double taxation agreements (DTAs), can vary dramatically from nation to nation. Understanding them can therefore help inform which of the region’s nations best suits a particular business operation.

For businesses seeking to boost their competitive presence in Asia, exploring options for investment in e-commerce and e-retail can be the key to formulating an effective strategy for sustainable growth and development.

The use of development zones in their different guises has been an effective model essentially brought to prominence by China over the past 25 years to help both foreign investors and domestic companies meet in a relationship that provides tax advantages to both. Development zones typically permit the foreign investor to bring component parts into a country for assembly without having to pay import duties. Investors may then add in locally-sourced components, assemble the final product, and warehouse it all duty free before then having the option of exporting the finished product (collecting some VAT rebates on the locally sourced portion) or entering the domestic market with a product assembled at local labor costs.
While China has shown spectacular use of development zones, and now has multiple types of them to fulfill slightly different functions, the basic premise remains the same - avoiding duties on unfinished products to permit local labor to add value. That concept has now become commonplace around Asia and internationally. However, the forms of these zones, and even their terminology, differ from country to country, as do the standards of zones available. While Shenzhen in China may be in its entirety a special economic zone, the same terminology in India is not so expansive. There are also differences in operational quality between government-run zones with available and well-educated customs and inspection officials, and those run privately, which can be more haphazard.
