International tax implications for both staff and the University as a result of international working arrangements – employee related complications Both Kathryn and Laura specialise in advising the HE sector on the income and payroll tax considerations of staff working internationally. Universities face unique challenges in managing their internationally mobile staff. Firstly, how do you identify them, and secondly, how do you adopt a risk based approach to managing employer and employee compliance? We will provide an overview of the corporate, personal tax and social security considerations that Universities need to consider where you have staff working overseas, and highlight key areas of consideration to manage compliance. We will share our experience working across the sector, helping a number of universities successfully manage their international employee populations. |
