EVENTS AT RSM

RSM’s China Practice Group in Melbourne was pleased to host an event in conjunction with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce Australia’s Melbourne branch event on Monday 25 May, bringing together Australian Chinese business leaders and professionals for a timely discussion on Australian tax in a global context.

We were honoured to welcome the Consul-General of the People’s Republic of China in Melbourne and the Commercial Counsellor, reinforcing the importance of strong Australia–China economic engagement. Opening remarks were delivered by Kristie Dundon representing RSM’s Melbourne office and BIAN Lei representing CCCA.

RSM’s Dr Mary Wang opened the workshop with an overview of the 2026 Federal Budget (delivered in Chinese). This was followed by insights and panel discussion. The panel featured Rick Kimberley, William Zhang, and Stan Shen, moderated by Victoria Jiang (Secretary, CCCA Victoria), with a focus on the latest Federal and Victorian Budget, particularly in Payday Super, Payroll tax, CGT, Trust, Negative gearing, R&D tax and their implications for businesses.
