Recently we continued our summer school series on Mobility Taxation. This time joining me for class 201 was Jennifer Stein, the highly respected Managing Director of the Global Tax Network.
Together discussed some essential tax concepts useful to global mobility managers including the following:
- An Introduction to Tax Equalization and Tax Protection -
- Managing International Assignment Tax Costs
- Taxation of Short-Term Assignees, Business Travelers, and Remote Workers
- Application of Tax Treaties

12% - I don’t know

44% - Yes, we are on top of it
26% - We have started to do something
11% - No
9% - We are thinking about it but haven’t done anything

1% - Immigration
2% - Corporate Tax
54% - All or a combination of the above
