Dear Stakeholders, who trust and value Samsung Heavy Industries, Samsung Heavy Industries (hereinafter referred to as SHI), which has successfully executed various projects in shipbuilding and offshore fields since its foundation in 1974, consistently endeavors to reflect the voices of its stakeholders, including clients, subcontractors, employees, and local communities. Moreover, as a global industry leader, SHI is investing much effort in building reliable and eco-friendly ships and offshore production facilities. 2015 has been by far the most difficult business year for SHI due to significant challenges, such as the global economic recession, low oil prices, and a series of trials & errors in executing offshore projects. Despite such difficult conditions, however, SHI employees endeavored to maintain safety and quality as well as comply with delivery schedule by showing concerted commitment and dedication, thereby transforming the crisis into opportunities. th Not only has SHI promoted the importance of safety awareness by announcing January 19 as the official Safety Awareness Day, but it has also received the highest level of recognition in the Safety Assessment Evaluation, conducted by ExxonMobil, for 6 consecutive years. Moreover, SHI significantly improved quality by enforcing its 10 Quality Rule Implementation Check on a weekly basis for flawless delivery.

    Abstract: the Purpose of This Paper Is to Investigate

    THE ECONOMIC COST OF NUCLEAR THREATS: A NORTH KOREA CASE STUDY. Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how public announcements of a nation’s nuclear programme development influence neighbouring countries’ stock markets. The countries examined in this case study are North and South Korea. To test this relationship I conducted an event study using MacKinlay’s market model. Six announcement days were studied comprising out of three nuclear tests and three missile and satellite related tests. The findings of this research are in contrast to prior research. Empirical researches on the economic effects of terrorism suggest that acts of terrorism create large impacts on economic activity. The results of our event study show that the announcements caused both negative and positive reactions on the market. Author: Ryan McKee Student number: 6181066 Supervisor: Shivesh Changoer Date: 8th of Jan, 2014 ETCS: 12 INTRODUCTION Stock prices represent investor’s expectations about the future. News announcements effect these expectations on a day to day basis. Terrorist attacks, military invasions, nuclear threats or any other ambivalent events can alter investor’s expectations and so allow the prices of stocks and bonds to deviate from their fundamental value. Once such events have taken place investors often defer from the market in search of safer, more secure financial investments which can lead to panic and chaos on the markets (Chen and Siems, 2004). Such chaos can also be caused by threats from other neighbouring countries. A perfect example of this is the relationship between North and South Korea. Ever since the division of North and South Korea on September 8, 1945 the two bordering nations have had a strenuous relationship, ultimately leading to the Korean war of 1950-1953.

    Tax Alert | Delivering Clarity 3 August 2020

    Tax Alert | Delivering clarity 3 August 2020 Activities carried out by project office does not constitute a permanent establishment The Apex Court rendered its decision that, based on activities carried out, the project office does not constitute a fixed place permanent establishment of the taxpayer in India, as per Article 5 of India-Korea tax treaty Facts of the case: Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) awarded a turnkey contract (on 28 February 2006) to a consortium of Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. (taxpayer)1, a company incorporated in South Korea, and an Indian Company. The turnkey contract was for carrying out the work, amongst others, of surveys, design, engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation and modification at existing facilities, and start-up and commissioning of entire facilities covered under the ‘Vasai East Development Project’ (Project). The taxpayer set up a Project Office (PO) in Mumbai to act as “a communication channel” between the taxpayer and ONGC in respect of the Project. Pre-engineering, survey, engineering, procurement and fabrication activities took place outside India in 2006 and were brought outside Mumbai in 2007 to be installed at the Project site. The taxpayer for the Financial Year (FY) 2006-07, corresponding to Assessment Year (AY) 2007-08, had incurred a loss in respect of the activities carried out in India and thus, declared ‘Nil’ profit. The taxpayer’s return was selected for audit and the Assessing Officer (AO) in the draft order, based on terms of the agreement, held that: ─ The Project was a single indivisible “turnkey” project, whereby ONGC was to take over the project completed only in India; ─ Resultantly, the profits arising from the successful commissioning of the Project would also arise only in India; ─ The work relating to fabrication and procurement of material was part of the contract for execution of work assigned by ONGC.
