Course Details

Your client’s business is flying, and they mention in passing that they are now working in France and the UK which will mean sending employees out to both locations. Whether of short, medium or long duration, having business visitors overseas or sending employees on secondment will add complexity and cost to their administration. They may be looking to you for a way forward, or at least for some useful ideas on what to ask questions about. 


This session simply explains some key concepts that companies should grasp when operating abroad. In particular, we look at the following:

  • Double Taxation Agreements – and how to use them
  • Key employer obligations – a practical due diligence list of questions to consider
  • The principles of tax equalisation or protection – how to perform hypothetical tax calculations
  • Global mobility policies – what to consider including
  • Split and shadow payrolls – how to operate these
