Issues and trends
Cost management is a key requirement for any business and the costs associated with an international assignment can prove difficult for an employer to estimate.
Our technology solutions allow organisations to prepare up-front calculations relating to employee assignments thus avoiding any unforeseen costs.
A key area of concern for many employers is monitoring the tax withholding and reporting requirements in Ireland and overseas in respect of business travellers.
Compliance with these requirements has come under increased focus in recent years and the costs of non-compliance can be substantial from a financial and a reputational perspective.
Our suite of Business Traveller technology solutions tools allows you to monitor and control the days spent in Ireland by overseas employees, as well as the days spent overseas by Irish employees, thus ensuring the risks regarding Irish and international payrolls are managed.
Recent changes in Irish tax legislation has seen the implementation of payroll withholding taxes on equity income in Ireland – with particular implications for cross-border workers.
Deloitte’s technology solutions can ensure your company remains compliant and meets its withholding obligations on cross-border equity income.
