International assignment services

The operation of a well planned and executed international assignee program is essential for the operation of a global business. Whether you are looking to redesign your global mobility policy for a large number of assignees or you have concerns regarding issues for a specific category of employee, our global employer services team can assist. Our integrated approach to tax compliance and consulting can reduce the cost and administrative burden for your business and manage the risks associated with a mobile workforce.

A key requirement for any business today is to ensure the withholding and reporting requirements for employees are met both in Ireland and abroad and the risks in relation to this are managed. Failure to do so can lead to financial costs and often other implications, including a negative impact to brand reputation in the marketplace. Managing the compliance issues for inbound business travellers to Ireland has come under increased focus in recent years with the Revenue authorities. The recent changes for employers regarding the withholding obligations on income in the form of shares also have implications for cross border workers
