TAXES FOR GLOBAL EMPLOYEES

Global mobility allows you to hire the world’s best talent and deploy your people wherever they can be most effective. Inevitably, it also brings complications around corporate and personal tax/social security issues. Our support for your global mobility programme will take care of the tax challenges and give you full visibility of your employees worldwide, to help you optimise efficiency.

As employees go global, many organisations outsource and offshore their overseas employment tax functions, but this can raise issues around ensuring compliance. We are alert to these challenges and our overseas employment tax service helps eliminate these risks whilst providing a cost-efficient response.

Of course, you want your expatriate employees to be properly rewarded, to ensure they’re not exposed to double income tax, and to benefit from the available reliefs. Our globally coordinated advice will reassure your expat employees about their tax position, and keep them motivated and fully engaged on your projects.
