(中文) 由海投会主办的「GWMC全球财富管理大会」于2018年1月27至28日在上海复旦大学圆满举行，活动吸引近150位来自海内外的理财、法律、银行、证券、移民等从业人员聚首一堂。本所中国业务发展主管杨颂雅女士获邀出席，并透视CRS的资产安全风险与应对策略。

在首日活动中，杨女士与参加者分享有关「CRS, 金税三期与资产保护需求」的演说，当中CRS会加快中国税改，包括个人所得税与资产增值税的观点，获得在场人士一致认同。

CRS对税改「金税三期」推动资产联网的目的起到非常大的帮助。从国务院，人民银行等的多份文件，都能看出税改的决心。除了税务风险，杨女士也谈到其他影响资产安全因素：随着一带一路的政策，海外资产增多；海外的婚姻法，继承法以及税法都会影响到企业主的资产安全。例如海外某些国家承认事实婚姻，没有婚前财产概念等，二代海外同居关系对企业股权集中产生非常大的不确定性。或美国房产涉及到当地遗产税，需要做好税金准备安排等。

杨女士也与在场人士分享海外家族信托结合保险在CRS下减低申报的案例。在场气氛热烈。

及后在圆桌会议中，杨女士与数位嘉宾共同探讨「中国财富管理现状」与「家族办公室发展展望」，提到国内高资产净值人群在CRS税籍申报，例如隐藏居住地等短期方案，在移动定位普及，生物识别技术逐步完善下带来的影响，建议尽快找税务顾问或律师梳理税务风险，安排适合的业务模式与公司架构，采用包括家族信托等工具规划资产安全。
