Overview

GlobalTalent,ManagedWell

International assignments enable organisations to deploy expertise and strengthen global leadership, but introduce complex tax, payroll, regulatory, and compliance considerations across jurisdictions.

Organisations managing cross-border assignments without specialist support risk permanent establishment exposure, tax equalisation errors, and compliance gaps that affect both the business and the assignee.

WEchartered provides end-to-end international assignment support covering planning, compensation structuring, PE risk, and assignment policy design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Global assignment planning involves designing the tax, payroll, and regulatory framework for an international assignment before the employee departs. It covers residency status, applicable tax treaties, host country obligations, and structuring to optimise the financial outcome for both employer and assignee.
Tax equalisation ensures an assignee pays no more or less tax than they would have in their home country, with the employer managing the difference. A well-structured tax equalisation policy prevents unexpected financial outcomes and maintains assignment attractiveness for the employee.
PE risk arises when an employee's activities in a host country create a taxable presence for the employer. Without a PE risk assessment, organisations may unknowingly expose themselves to corporate tax obligations, penalties, and compliance requirements in the host jurisdiction.
An assignment policy defines the terms, benefits, and entitlements applicable to international assignees. A well-structured policy ensures consistency, manages costs, sets clear expectations, and provides a defensible framework for compensation and tax treatment decisions.
We advise on the structure and split of assignee compensation packages across home and host country payrolls, covering allowances, benefits, tax-efficient elements, and reporting obligations to optimise the tax position while maintaining compliance in both jurisdictions.
Cross-border employment involves residency and treaty analysis, dual employment contracts, shadow payroll obligations, social security coordination, work permit requirements, and ongoing compliance in both home and host countries throughout the duration of the assignment.
