TAG Alliances 2013 Annual Review - People. Places. Purpose.TIAG_Alliance
PEOPLE. PLACES. PURPOSE.
Common words with uncommon meaning but with everyday impact on the TAG Alliances. Each describes and defines what we and our members are about, whom we serve and how businesses around the world benefit.
In the pages that follow we will, in our words and in the words of our members, give some substance to this theme, supported by some examples of these words as they have been applied in practice. We think that People, Places, and Purpose, in words and deed, shine a light on our activity during 2013. We also hope that this Annual Review will not only show us where we were in 2013 but will also provide an indication of what we can all look forward to in 2014 and beyond.
Our Annual Review, to state it in words most common to our TIAG® members, is both a balance sheet that shows where we were at year-end and a statement that recounts activities such as conferences, meetings and new member endeavors. At the end of the year, it is your achievements that to us yield our bottom line.
We hope that your 2013 has been a good one for you as well, measured by the People you have met, or have hired, or have gained as clients; marked by the Places you have been, through business, pleasure, or our favorite, a combination of both at a TAG conference; or even judged by your satisfaction in achieving a Purpose of importance.
As we look forward to 2014, we are excited by the opportunity to do even better. There are places in the world into which we can expand. There are members that we would like to see more often at conferences and TAG Academy courses. And there is a Foundation to sustain for the benefit of those in need. We welcome those challenges and we are supported by a strong staff and by the strength of the membership.
Our story of 2013 is not just for you, however. We encourage you to circulate and distribute this Annual Review throughout your firm. We also encourage you to show or send it to clients and prospective clients; to incorporate it effectively into your own marketing initiatives; and to think of the ways you can take full advantage of all that we offer.
Thank you for your membership, for your Foundation support, for your conference and program attendance and for the quality of your work and your relationships. We wish you a successful year in 2014.
1 UK VAT refunds for non-EU businesses require action by 31 December 2015TIAG_Alliance
Executive Summary
Many multinational enterprises (MNEs) incur VAT in countries where they are not established or VAT registered. A business may, for example, incur foreign VAT on trade fairs and conferences, meals and accommodations, travel, transportation and fuel costs, business entertainment, marketing and advertising costs, professional services, telecommunications; printing materials and stationery, and training.
Non-EU businesses that have incurred value added tax (VAT) in the UK during the 12 month period July 2014-June 2015 may be able to recover the VAT by applying for a refund - provided they comply with the rules. Claims by non-EU businesses must be submitted within six months following the end of the claim period. The closing date for applications for the above 12 month period is 31st December 2015, so taxpayers should be collecting the required information now to support a successful claim. The deadline is a fixed date, and late claims are not accepted. The fact claims are made by post and the deadline follows shortly after the Christmas holiday period needs to be borne in mind.

World Expo 2015 Guidelines - Studio RockTIAG_Alliance
Expo 2015 will be held in Milan (Italy) from May to October 2015.
ll companies worldwide that will be present have to face all sorts of different issues. Some of these relate to compliance with local (Italian) rules and regulations regarding accounting, tax and staff matters.
Expo 2015 will last six months and that period of time is extremely important from a tax point of view as any commercial activity that lasts six months or more determines that the company is considered as having a permanent establishment in Italy.
This implies compliance with accounting rules, drafting of tax returns and income taxes to be calculated and paid. Vat aspects have to be considered as well.
In some cases special tax benefits have been considered but these have to considered case by case in order to understand if they are applicable or not.
Burgis & Bullock - Guide to Mergers and Acquisitions in the UKTIAG_Alliance
The UK is a highly attractive place to do business as evidenced by the large levels of inward investment into the country seen over the last few years. For overseas companies wishing to set up operations and trade there are a number of highly useful guides to doing business in the UK produced by the accounting and law firm members of the TAG Alliances (www.tiagnet.com and www.taglaw.com).
However, one of the most common methods for international companies to seek a presence in the UK is through acquisition. Having advised and supported overseas businesses to acquire UK companies we have observed there are many subtle, and not so subtle, variations in how different countries conduct M&A activity. This includes not just the obvious legal differences, but also variances in style, custom, market practice, the role of advisers, and the process undertaken.
This guide does not cover the strategic and commercial aspects of an effective acquisition strategy that would be common across the globe, such as defining your acquisition criteria, target analysis, valuations, negotiations, and post-acquisition integration. The document is designed to provide non-UK acquirers with an overview of the legal and regulatory regime governing M&A activity in the UK together with an understanding of the processes and transaction issues that are most commonly encountered in this country. It is no substitute for good quality professional advice, but should help buyers to plan their M&A strategy for maximum effectiveness.
Modi Effect on the Indian Economy - AJSH & Co. Chartered Accountants (New Del...TIAG_Alliance
Contact: AJSH & Co. Chartered Accountants (New Delhi, India)
The Modi government took charge at the Centre with a promise to bring about many changes in terms of governance. This created a wave of excitement among the people.
The Narendra Modi government has put together an elaborate economic reforms package in sync with the party’s election manifesto.
A "king among kings" is how Anil Ambani, one of India's leading industrialists, described Narendra Modi in January last year, long before the latter entered the race to become the country's next prime minister. After winning the Indian election comprehensively, the business community here is waiting with its arms wide open to embrace Mr Modi. They hope he will be their saviour at a time when the economic growth rate is flagging, investments are dwindling and consumer demand is dropping.
International Tax Planning after BEPS - A Country SpotlightTIAG_Alliance
The OECD initiative against “Base Erosion and Profit Shifting” was
commissioned by the G-20 in 2013. Final deliverables were presented to the G-20 in November 2015.
“Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) refers to tax planning strategies that exploit gaps and mismatches in tax rules to artificially shift profits to low or no-tax locations where there is little or no economic activity, resulting in little or no overall corporate tax being paid. BEPS is of major significance for developing countries due to their heavy reliance on corporate income tax, particularly from multinational enterprises (MNEs.)”

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
