Employment tax is a major expense for any business involved with international employee assignments. Although it’s a rule of thumb that one-third of total assignment costs is paid in tax, very few organisations actually know exactly what that figure is on their shadow payroll.
Do you know how much tax you’re paying – and whether it’s the right amount? What are you doing to minimise your tax liability?
There are no magic formulas or shortcuts here…unless you calculate your tax in advance of paying it, you’re unlikely to know how much you’re paying, whether it’s an appropriate amount, or how it compares with similar organisations and their shadow payroll.
