Expatriate tax planning involves consideration of key areas such as :

• What are the implications in the host country if contributions continue to be made to the home country pension plan?
• Should you compensate the employee if he/she has to pay more tax as a result of the assignment? If so, how?
• Does the UK have a social security agreement with the host country?
• Does the host country provide a favourable tax regime for expatriates?
• Who should employ the individual during the assignment - secondment or transfer?
• Will double tax treaty relief be available?
• We can assist in determining appropriate policies, for example, in the area of tax equalisation, which will enable the employer and employee to focus on core business issues.
• The combination of pre-assignment tax planning coupled with the provision of tax compliance services offers you the confidence that assignment costs are being managed efficiently.
• We liaise with tax specialists in the overseas countries to identify planning opportunities which will minimise global tax and social security liabilities in relation to international assignments.
• We take account of local practice and legislation to plan tax-efficient remuneration strategies that maximise the benefit of local planning opportunities.
