What is global mobility tax? How does tax work for international assignments? And what do mobility teams need to know about tax equalization, payroll, business travelers, remote workers and mobile compensation?
This autumn, join us with Andersen as we present Global Mobility Tax: The Essentials Refresher, a three-part webinar series designed to make global mobility tax a little easier to navigate.
Whether you work in Global Mobility, HR or Global Tax, the series will take you from the fundamentals of mobility tax through to mobile compensation and the tax considerations associated with different types of international mobility.
Newer to mobility tax? This is a great place to build your knowledge. Been working with it for years? Consider this your opportunity to refresh the essentials and perhaps pick up a few new insights along the way.
Global mobility tax covers the employer and employee tax considerations that arise when people work across borders.
Simple enough, right?
Well, add in international assignments, allowances, equity, payroll, business travel, remote work and different tax jurisdictions, and things can quickly get more complicated.
For mobility teams, understanding the fundamentals can help you anticipate costs, identify potential issues, ask better questions and know when specialist tax expertise is needed.
That is exactly what we will explore throughout this series.
Across the series, you will hear from me, Pat Jurgens, Director, Global Tax Research and Consulting, and my colleague Jeremy Piccoli, Director, Global Tax Solutions, alongside Andersen’s Adam Schwartz, Director and Global Mobility Tax Transformation and Technology Lead, and Lynda Ngo, Director, Global Mobility.
Together, we will bring deep global mobility tax expertise and different perspectives to the issues mobility teams encounter every day, from gross-ups and mobility payroll to international assignment compensation, tax equalization, business travelers and remote workers.
Our aim is simple: take topics that can quickly become complex and make them practical, understandable and relevant to the decisions mobility professionals need to make.
So, bring your questions. We will bring the tax knowledge.
September 22 | 10:00 AM Boston / 4:00 PM Brussels
We are starting with the fundamentals.
What exactly do we mean by mobility tax? How are common mobility allowances and expenses taxed? What is a gross-up? And where does payroll fit into the picture?
In this first session, we will cover:
If you are newer to mobility tax, this is the perfect place to start. If you have been around it for years, think of it as a chance to make sure those foundations are still firmly in place.
October 21 | 10:00 AM Boston / 4:00 PM Brussels
How does tax affect international assignment compensation?
Our second session moves beyond the basics to explore the relationship between global mobility tax, compensation and assignment costs.
We will discuss:
Taxation of Equity
Compensation structuring for international mobility
Managing International Assignment Tax Costs
Corporate tax considerations
Cost estimates and scenario planning
For mobility teams balancing employee experience, compliance and program costs, this is where things get particularly interesting.
November 17 | 10:00 AM Boston / 4:00 PM Brussels
An international assignee, a business traveler and a remote worker may all be working across borders, but their tax considerations can look very different.
Our final session explores how tax considerations change depending on how an employee is mobile.
We will cover:
An Introduction to Tax Equalization and Tax Protection
Taxation of Short-Term Assignees, Business Travelers and Remote Workers
Application of Tax Treaties
Social Security and Totalization Agreements
With organizations managing more varied forms of employee mobility, understanding these differences is an increasingly important part of running an effective global mobility program.
This webinar series is designed for Global Mobility, HR and Global Tax professionals who want to strengthen or refresh their understanding of mobility tax.
You do not need to be a tax specialist to join us. Understanding the fundamentals can help you ask better questions, anticipate costs, work more effectively with tax teams and providers, and better understand the tax issues your mobile employees may encounter.
And if you are a tax specialist? A refresher never hurts.
