GTN Mobility Tax Blog

The global mobility landscape is continuously evolving, often bringing significant changes that directly impact businesses, mobile employees, and the broader mobility industry. In our recent webinar, we explored key legislative, economic, and policy developments that could shape mobility programs in the months ahead. With new regulations taking effect and additional proposals on the horizon, staying informed is crucial for strategic planning. 

In today’s technological world, it is easier than ever for businesses to participate in the global economy through the use of business travelers, international assignments, remote workers, or one-way transfers. However, international tax compliance for cross-border employees can present unexpected challenges for both the employee and the company. Even a single day of work in a foreign location can trigger complex tax filings for the individual, as well as tax reporting and withholding obligations for the company in the Home and Host countries. Failing to comply with these obligations can have serious consequences, such as unexpected tax bills, increased audit costs, financial penalties, and legal and reputational risks for the company and the employee.

Global mobility programs play a vital role in supporting business growth and talent strategies. As companies navigate an interconnected world, the complexities of managing cross-border assignments, transfers, and business travel have grown significantly. Heightened regulatory scrutiny, evolving compliance requirements, and financial pressures continue to push organizations to refine their approaches to managing mobile assignments.
