Urban Institute-SSFI Lunchtime Seminar: Zonification, Cities and International Law

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia International law is traditionally based on clear-cut territorial divisions. Boundaries define the territory of states. Territorial jurisdiction operates on the basis of the assumption that states exercise control throughout their territory. While this understanding may be a fiction in many contexts, this fiction fulfils a useful function as it protects states against outside interference. At the current historical moment, this understanding of the territorial unity of the state is under attack, however. Various developments intersect in this regard. Propelled by libertarian thinkers and tech entrepreneurs, the idea to create special zones which are taken out of the control of the respective nation state enjoys considerable popularity. These attempts can take various forms, ranging from the creation of special economic zones (a fairly established concept in international economic law) over the creation of so-called charter cities with a form of quasi-independence from the host state’s general legal system to… Fee(s): By Invitation Only.

STARI Lunchtime Seminar - Australia's Public Country-by-Country Reporting Regime: What It Means for Groups Operating in Asia

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia Australia now has one of the most demanding public CbCR regimes in the world, and its reach extends well beyond Australian-headquartered groups. Singapore-headquartered multinationals with Australian operations are caught, and the first disclosures are now coming through. I would set out the scope and mechanics of the regime, compare it with the EU Directive and the GRI 207 standard so that groups facing overlapping obligations can see where the requirements diverge, and offer some thoughts on the regulatory design choices Australia has made and whether they achieve what was intended.

STARI Lunchtime Seminar - Inland Revenue’s Growing Use of Artificial Intelligence in Tax Administration – Should We Be Concerned?

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia New Zealand’s Inland Revenue, like many sophisticated revenue authorities globally, is actively embracing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance its digital platforms, increase the levels of taxpayer compliance, and create greater efficiencies with respect to resource use. The use of AI comes with benefits and risks, which need to be very carefully balanced so as to ensure the rights of taxpayers and citizens are protected. While the AI evolution cannot be ignored, the New Zealand government has appropriately recommended a cautious but potentially risky approach with extensive pre-testing before AI products are utilised externally. However, there is no intention to create bespoke legislation to protect New Zealanders’ rights, but to rely on existing legislation concerning privacy and other rights. This paper positions Inland Revenue, one of the more advanced public sector organisations in New Zealand, as adopting AI within the wider New Zealand public service mandate and globally within Organi… Fee(s): Public Standard Fee: SGD50 per pax excl. 9% GST (non-refundable) SMU Faculty and Students: Complimentary - please register here instead.
