Your challenge

Do you experience difficulties with calculating the correct tax and social security base for expats? When dealing with expats an employer usually has to deal with compensation items like hotel costs, travel expenses, shipment costs, foreign social security and pension contributions, for which the tax and social security positions have to be determined. The compensation items can be in different currencies that have to be converted into euros. Also a workday allocation also has to be applied for each item and expat individually.

Why Deloitte

Deloitte has created a fiscal-knowledge database that analyses and determines whether compensation items are taxable or non-taxable, deductible or non-deductible. Other considerations, such as a 30%-ruling, a corresponding approval for pension, an A1, or certificate of coverage for social security purposes, are all included in the database to automatically determine the correct taxable compensation. This taxable compensation is combined with workday allocations and exchange rates leading to the correct amount of the tax and social security base.
