Asia Pacific Insurance Tax News

PwC Asia Pacific Insurance Tax News is a periodic publication that offers insights into trends and developments in insurance and taxation in the Asia Pacific region.

November 2011

Asia is a diverse place. Some countries like Australia, New Zealand, Korea and Japan have matured insurance markets and relatively high insurance penetration rates. Yet others, like Vietnam, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) are still in the early stages of insurance development. Countries like China and India are only cautiously opening its doors to foreign insurers. All these mean a varying development of regulations and tax rules for insurers. Across Asia, we continue to see accounting, regulatory and tax reforms.

In the fourth edition of our Asia Pacific Insurance Tax News, we will share with you some of these tax developments, changes and challenges. This year's edition is another bumper issue with 16 articles authored by our specialists from fifteen Asia Pacific countries, including first time contributors PNG and Vietnam.
