Global Mobility

Supporting HR managers and their employees with the tax and social security actions for all their international moves. This could range from extended business trips, assignments and relocations.

For example, HR contact notifies me of a move for an employee and I would arrange a cost estimate for the move for the employer to sign-off on the costs.  Once approved, tax briefings and registrations in home and host locations would be carried out and estimates of net pay provided to the employee.  I would supporting the employer on payroll adjustments and social security certificates of coverage. Finally I would arrange for home and host tax returns to be filed.

Once the assignment ends, I'd ensure all repatriation tax and social security processes were carried out to reintegrate the employee into their home country.

Remote Working

Working with companies where they have employees working remotely in another country.

For example, a Belgian based company has an employee living in the UK but working between UK and Belgium,  Help to set-up the UK payroll to ensure the employer is compliant and coordination with the Belgian payroll team and the personal tax adviser for the employee.

Hiring New Employees

Supporting companies with understanding their tax and social security obligations where they are thinking about taking on a new member of staff to work remotely in another country.  This would enable the company to understand the additional cost of taking on a new member of staff in that country.

For example, a UK company wanting to take on a new member of staff who happens to live in France. Helping the company to understand what their employer tax, social security, payroll and legal obligations so they could make a decision whether to hire that candidate.

Non-resident directors

Working with UK and overseas companies to help them to understand the tax and social security impact of their non-executive directors working patterns.

For example, working with a Swedish company to help understand their UK tax and social security obligations for two of their non-executive directors who are living and working in the UK.
