What’s in store for 2018? With the passing of one of the largest tax reforms within the past 30 years, anti-dumping orders, ICE workplace raids, and many more new regulations, creates much panic amongst Chinese business owners.

The most updated information will be shared with you during this seminar.

How will your business be impacted by the new law? Representatives from the IRS will discuss tax tips for business owners. Paul Chen (Certified Public Accountant) will be discussing corporate and business tax updates. With the latest ICE situation, representatives from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will be here to discuss how employers can properly and accurately handle employee documentation and workplace immigration, and more. This can benefit employers in dealing with and avoiding unnecessary issues, fines and lawsuits.

Kenny Chang, President of KCAL, also mentioned that in recent years, many employees are more and more aware of their legal rights –some are even more aware than their employers. William Lai, lawyer at Chang & Cote LLP, will discuss the new employment laws of 2018 so that employers become more familiar with the latest regulations. This includes the new minimum wage regulations, transgender and pregnant employee rights, and litigation prevention.

Refreshments will be served. Free consultations with government officials and industry experts will be available. The first seminar will be held on Thursday, March 1 at 1:30PM at the Ontario Airport Hotel. The next three seminars will be held in San Gabriel, Irvine, and Hacienda Heights, respectively.
