We provide services that assure both the employer and the international assignee peace of mind.
We liaise with Grant Thornton tax specialists in the overseas countries to identify planning opportunities that will minimize global tax and social security liabilities in relation to international assignments.
We take into account local practices and legislation to plan tax-efficient remuneration strategies that maximize the benefits of local planning opportunities.
Some key matters we consider include:
If high caliber employees are to be encouraged to relocate to meet employer requirements in existing and new locations, it is essential to ensure that they are not deterred by potential problems associated with tax, social security or pension. It is also important to minimize overseas assignment costs and ensure that the policies in place for the assignment are equitable between the company and its employees.
Grant Thornton Taiwan can assist in determining appropriate policies, for example, in the area of tax equalization, which will enable the employer and employee to dedicate their time and energy to focusing on their core business issues.
The combination of pre-assignment tax planning, coupled with effective and timely local tax compliance services offers you the confidence that assignment costs are being minimized and that your overseas reporting obligations are being met.
