The audience was able to learn how each country's domestic tax system interacts with tax systems in a foreign country, whether they are provided in the form of foreign tax credits or exempted on repatriation via a participation exemption system. In addition, the seminar provided a discussion on the general anti-avoidance rule that exists in both Canada and Hong Kong. The discussion also included the purpose and theory behind the general anti-avoidance rule, as well as recent court cases.
