2020年9月18日 – 昨天，中国美国商会2020年科技创新峰会在北京希尔顿酒店顺利召开。本次峰会上25位来自微软、慧与、领英等科技公司和智库的从业专家、学者分别就当前最流行的科技话题，如企业数字化转型、新基建、科技脱钩等进行了深入探讨，峰会线上和到场嘉宾共达200余人。 在首个主题演讲中，微软亚洲区副总裁Antony Cook与我们分享了在经济复苏时期的技术关注重点。Cook提到疫情给我们的日常生活和商业都带来了数字转型 ，这其中包括在家办公、在线教育，还有数字化医疗。然而，“对于微软来说，我们思考得更多的是技术在我们的企业社会责任中扮演着什么角色、我们如何提供帮助。” Cook说道。微软所付诸的行动包括建立新冠肺炎病毒洞察网站、远程医疗平台、为中小企业提供数字化解决方案，再到疫情期间运用基于云的销售系统，维护了斯里兰卡有 150 年历史之久的茶业，等等。除了技术创新，为了应对日益扩大的技能差距，微软还计划到2020年底将数字领域的技能带给全球2500万人。 慧与中国区董事总经理朱海翔随后在第二个主题演讲中介绍了慧与是如何通过转型以适应新环境、获得成长，最终建立起一个包含所有利益相关者的科技生态系统、为社会带来积极影响的。朱海翔首先指出，企业必须采用数字化商业模式才能获取竞争优势。他随即提到，如今社会对“企业应该带头应对社会发展中的挑战”的呼声越来越高。因此，以数字化为核心、以实现利益相关者的价值为目标正变得越来越重要。然后，他详细阐述了慧与如何完成自身的数字化转型，并通过提供慧与 “GreenLake” ，一种灵活的即用服务产品，来更有效地支持客户的数字化转型的。最后，朱海翔还向大家介绍了慧与落实“在中国、为中国”战略的一些例子。 领英中国总裁陆坚随即与大家分享了从领英平台中获得的最新工作、技能要求上的趋势。陆坚表示，最有前景的工作与颠覆性技术密切相关。“更值得注意的是，” 陆说，“技术将主宰未来的工作趋势，但以人为本的技能将更有价值。” 在第四个主题演讲中，美国半导体行业协会全球政策副总裁Jimmy Goodrich和大家分享了在紧张的双边关系下半导体供应链的现状。在向大家介绍完半导体产业的发展历史和中国在该产业发展中的作用之后，Jimmy阐明了政策制定者在维护供应链和维持创新方面可以采取的一些举措，包括取消关税、加强监管、促进创新等等。 主题演讲结束之后，微软大中华区副总裁包嘉峰、普华永道中国合伙人周星、英特尔副总裁Brent Young和36氪高级副总裁周韡韡聚集一堂，就新常态下的5G和新基建展开了第一个专题探讨。4位嘉宾对这一新领域的国际投资前景、国内企业和跨国公司可以展开的合作方向，以及新基建将如何改变人们的生活等话题展开了热烈探讨。 在第二个专题讨论里，来自强生JLABS上海的负责人Sharon Chan和3 家杰出的医疗行业初创公司CEO向大家介绍了他们在不同医疗领域正在从事的一些创新工作，其中包括如何运用技术平台更好地协助药物研发、创新心理健康解决方案以及协助医生为患者提供更好的手术方案。这些介绍帮助我们更清楚地了解了医疗健康技术是如何转型的。然后，4位企业家讨论了人工智能在医疗保健中的应用、疫情对其工作产生的影响，以及医疗保健行业的初创企业应如何武装自己、更好地应对如今环境中的不确定性。 峰会下午会员专享的环节中， 来自朝亚首席执行官Oliver Jones、默克中国创新中心创新孵化投资总监李翊、中国美国商会总裁毕艾伦、贝恩公司合伙人Velu Sinha、韩礼士基金会研究员Alex Capri、清华大学中国科技政策研究中心研究员董洁林、合一资本创始合伙人许亮进一步就当前最热门的科技话题交换了意见，包括中美技术脱钩、数据治理的影响、数据中心开发等等。 欲了解更多独家会员信息，请联系中国美国商会Yaxian Xiong, yxxiong@amchamchina.org.

2019年10月24日下午，中国美国商会华中办公室携手武汉市贸促会、安永企业税务武汉分所专业人士在安永华明会计师事务所武汉分所举办了就“深化改革中的企业如何充分利用减税降费政策”为议题的讲座。本次活动非常荣幸地邀请到安永华明会计师事务所中国政府和公共事业税务服务主管合伙人诸斌先生，税务与商务咨询部总监刘玲女士，以及税务与商务咨询税务量化服务总监陈川舟先生，为超过40家来自各行各业的企业的员工带来了一场生动有趣的税务讲座。 会议伊始，诸斌先生从宏观经济发展趋势的角度，围绕本月新鲜出炉的税务政策与所有参会者进行了一个有趣的背景知识索引互动和热身环节。诸先生指出，减税降费无论是从个人、企业还是整个城市来说都是一个具有巨大意义的举措。对个人而言，减税降费可以极大地减低个人税负，以拉动我们最主要的消费引擎；针对企业而言，减税降费会把企业最重的负担予以降低，特别是研发和生产环节；进一步激发市场活力和社会创造力。 随后陈川舟先生向企业介绍了从2015年至今“减税降费”涵盖的政策红利和法规变革进程，并对重要税务法规进行了细致解读。期间，陈先生特别指出，近年来的政策调整为科技创新类企业带来了更大的机遇，但同时也带来了更严厉的税务审核挑战。税务机关及其他政府部门将对科技创新类企业的研发和生产环节采取更为严格的把控，规范了行业发展的同时也提高了对该类企业的税务核查力度。对此，陈先生将税务机关通常采取的核查方法和流程分为六个步骤并逐一为大家解说，同时提出了企业可采取的应对措施。 短暂的茶歇会后，刘玲女士借助《2019年减税降费政策答复汇编》为在场的财务人员介绍最新的优惠政策方向，并归纳总结了本次政策调整对公司财务实际操作的影响，其中包括：增值税税率调整，加计抵减政策等等。随后进行的互动问答环节，来自各行各业的财务人员积极地参与到讨论之中。 本次讲座中国美国商会荣幸地邀请到安永团队，安永的以其资深行业经验和丰富的专业知识切实地帮助在汉企业理解减税降费有关政策，有效解决遇到的涉税问题，从而引导并帮助在汉企业在国家有利的政策下得到更好的发展。会后所有参会者给予了积极肯定的反馈。

2019年9月19日下午，中国美国商会华中办公室携手德勤中国关务与贸易团队在武汉德勤华永会计师事务所开展了一场专业、细致的关于对美加征关税商品排除申请的讲座。商会荣幸的邀请到德勤中国税务及商务咨询高级经理屈郡小姐，以及德勤中国税务及商务咨询高级顾问俞元泰先生作为主讲人。会议主要包括三个方面：中美贸易情况和排除清单的背景及进展，申请排除工作的流程说明，以及申请排除常见问题和注意事项。 会议伊始，屈小姐以生动有趣的“疯狂的大豆”的故事为在座的来宾娓娓道来中美贸易站的简要背景，并以互动的方式和与会嘉宾讨论了中美贸易摩擦的发展和对中国企业的主要影响。同时，屈小姐强调了“原产地的判定”作为是否加征关税商品的重要性，并以实际的案例给嘉宾做了详细的说明。在分析企业应如何面对关税问题上，屈小姐建议企业要对自己进行全面的综合评估，并给出了六条行之有效的建议方便企业层层排查自己所涉及的进口商品属性和企业税务工作，再来决定企业最终是否需要进行对于关税排除的申请。 随后，俞先生以重要的时间节点及中美贸易摩擦时期的主要事件，并结合中方回应加征关税的法律依据为现场嘉宾解读了中方为应对美国加征关税的“反制”措施，以此引出了排除清单的背景和进展，并按批次解析了加征关税商品情况。在充分了解排除商品清单的背景、进展和内容之后，屈小姐讲解了如何申请排除关税工作的总流程，并给出了一个全面且细致的申请流程表。相比企业自身申请排除关税，屈小姐表示鼓励企业利用行业协会，比如通过中国美国商会或第三方社会机构去促进关税排除的申请，以争取最优化的结果。最后，俞先生又针对关税排除申请流程中所需注意的事项分七点进行了补充说明，并分享了德勤中国为其客户做关税排除申请时遇到的常见问题及详细解答。 中国美国商会华中办公室此次和德勤中国团队携手，旨在为企业申请关税排除提供一个便利的沟通和服务平台，本场讲座德勤团队以其资深行业经验和专业知识为所有参会者提供了最新、最全面的关税知识，以及对美关税排除申请的详细申请方法。会后所有参会者给予了积极肯定的反馈。
