A Glimpse of Hainan FTP - Tapping on business opportunities arising from Hainan’s International Duty-Free Economy for Consumer Markets 2 Compared with famous international FTPs, The degree of openness for duty-free duty-free shopping in Hainan has less consumptions after 2025 is yet to be coverage and more restrictions clarified There are mainly four duty-free models in According to the Master Plan of Hainan FTP, Hainan, including the traditional ‘airport after the independent operation of customs duty-free’, ‘duty-free shopping for local came into effect throughout the entire Hainan residents’ similar to Hong Kong, the unique island, goods (subject to the negative list) can ‘offshore duty-free’ in large shopping malls, be freely imported/exported and exempted and ‘departure tax refund’ similar to Singapore. from import duties; VAT, CT while other However, the restrictions on duty-free products turnover taxes will be consolidated into a new under the four models still far exceed those of tax, i.e. sales tax. That is to say, the sales tax Hong Kong and Singapore. Hainan should will still exist and it is not clear whether Hainan benchmark against famous international FTPs, will adopt the same duty-free model as Hong further relax restrictions on consumers and Kong, i.e. no tariff, VAT and CT on general product types, and convert the current positive imports (excluding tobacco, spirits, fuel, etc.) list management into negative list for purchases in Hong Kong (regardless management, i.e. all products that are not on whether the purchaser is resident or the list, by default, can be purchased duty-free. non-residents, domestic or overseas visitors, etc.). This will largely depend on the policy Offshore duty-free has become the main relaxation on consumers, product categories, channel for duty-free consumptions and is as well as the overall maturity of the regulatory also the key focus for Hainan’s future system. duty-free economy As mandated in the internal meeting of Department of Commerce of Hainan Province in January 2020, prior to the independent customs operation throughout the entire Hainan island in 2025, the duty-free shopping for local residents may be limited to routine consumer goods; at the same time, the scale of ‘departure tax refund’ is relatively small now and inbound tourists only account for about 2% of total tourist visits. Therefore, the offshore duty-free category which covers middle and high-end products remains as the main channel for duty-free consumptions. At present, under the new policies, the quota for annual purchase has been raised from RMB 30,000 to RMB 100,000, and there are no limits on the number of purchases. The formats of selling offshore duty-free products are also evolving. Although the duty-free shopping policies for local residents after Hainan has become a completely independent customs zone is still unclear, it is still anticipated that a prosperous Hainan‘s duty-free economy would emerge, especially with the promotion of ‘domestic circulation’ by the central government.

Members, I must begin by acknowledging our late start and apologising for that. There are two matters which I would like to comment on. First of all, it is to say to Hon. Members, in relation to the information which is to be supplied to questions raised during the debate, that having looked at what is required of us in relation to dissemination of the questions, of the answers to the questions raised, we are proposing that the answers be disseminated by way of soft copy and that hard copy be provided to the questioner. It is proving financially laborious. It will prove that way if we were to supply hard copies of all the answers to all the questions to every Hon. Member in this House. I repeat, we will provide the questioner with the hard copy 1 and to all other Hon. Members we will supply soft copies of the answers. I hope that will prove satisfactory to Hon. Members.

Most tourists can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA), costs are US$35 for a 30 day stay, or US$15 for a 7 day stay. For some countries there is an additional visa fee. Payment is by cash at the immigration desk upon arrival at the International Bali or Jakarta airport. For some countries this visa-on-arrival does not apply, and people need to apply for a tourist visa in their country of origin before traveling. We highly recommend that you contact your local Indonesian Consulate or Embassy to check requirements for travelers of your nationality and/or passport that you will be traveling on. Vaccinations Please get advice from your local medical center. For some parts of Indonesia malaria prophylactics are recommended as well as booster injections for intestinal diseases and hepatitis A and B. While onboard the Seven Seas, we ensure you will run no risk of "traveler's diseases" as the food is prepared with a high degree of hygiene and all the drinking water comes from bottles. Please ensure your medical insurance covers your vacation. Currency, Cards, Cash The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Most hotels and restaurants in Bali accept credit cards, but it's always helpful to have some local currency to hand.

  • 302746 ICE Country Guide
    International Core of Excellence 2018 ICE Essentials Foreword Local insight into key foreign jurisdictions—International Core of Excellence The impact of the U.S. tax reform will be felt not only in the U.S. but around the world. While it likely will take some time for stakeholders to familiarize themselves fully with the new rules and evaluate their implications and consequences, U.S. businesses soon will have to make real- world decisions that will affect their foreign operations: decisions regarding cash repatriation, adjustments to ownership structures for foreign investments, acquisition financing where multiple jurisdictions are involved, organization of supply chain activities, etc. When that time comes, the focus will no longer be solely on the new U.S. rules. Companies will be looking for practical solutions that best serve the interest of their businesses and those solutions will have to accommodate non-U.S. tax factors—for example, it is important to be aware that steps taken to limit a tax cost in the U.S. may eventuate in a higher tax burden outside the U.S. In this respect, one thing has not changed: U.S. companies will still need to integrate non-U.S. tax considerations into their decision-making. Now more than ever, they will need reliable and timely information—as well as actionable insights—on tax policy, legislation and practices affecting their foreign operations if they are to maintain a competitive edge. We are committed to helping you and your organization navigate the opportunities and challenges of a rapidly evolving global tax environment. The foreign country specialists in the International Core of Excellence (ICE) team have the technical and practical experience to help you identify and address the impact of foreign tax rules on U.S.
