Remote cross-border working: the tax and legal challenges
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic forced a widespread adoption of remote cross-border working. This fundamentally means allowing employees to work and perform tasks remotely from a location other than where the employer is located or where they usually reside and work. Very often employees and employers needed to “make it happen” and overcome obstacles as they crossed them.
As remote cross-border working is – at least to a certain extent – here to stay, HR departments and Global Mobility teams face the need to structurally create policies and processes to enable this.You first need to be aware though of the potential risks of having someone working in another territory. Once the regulatory tolerances are over, the complex patchwork of personal income tax, employment tax, social security, immigration, labour law and corporate income tax need to be explored.
Based on real-life cases, we will guide you through the tax and legal framework to consider, highlight the opportunities and alert you the areas where you should be vigilant.
