Global Mobility Tax (International Assignment Services)

An important risk that global employers face is ensuring they and their employees are aware of, and comply with, local tax filing requirements.

A successful global mobility population requires careful management, not only of the different jurisdictions’ tax, immigration, and payroll regulatory rules, but also of each assignee’s mobility experience. It also requires organisations to strike a balance between competitive compensation and cost control, always taking care to have effective policies and procedures for regulatory compliance.

Our Deloitte professionals help organisations to address worldwide compliance with employees' individual and payroll reporting and filing requirements. We have also invested heavily in the assignee experience and we put the user at the heart of the experience both in terms of the technology and communication. 

HR and Payroll Process Outsourcing

Global employers are required to pay employees, remit taxes and complete tax reporting timely and correctly both locally and internationally. Failing to do so can trigger multimillion rand fines and penalties from taxing authorities. In this environment, Deloitte can help global employers to ensure that their payroll service delivery model is nimble enough to ensure accuracy of payroll processing, tax compliance and contains costs efficiently.

Workforce

Today there are many complex factors disrupting both the structure and ways of working. The workforce of the future will be very different to that of today.

Deloitte helps organisations to plan ahead and ensure that its global mobility programme is aligned to its talent and business strategies. Whether creating a company's first global mobility programme, re-examining the operational effectiveness or policy design of an existing programme, or transitioning the administration of a programme to address regulatory concerns, Deloitte's professionals can help.

Technology and Analytics

Technology provides the efficiencies, controls, and business intelligence that allow our clients to raise service levels to their assignees, vendors, and management. Tax analytics has also quickly emerged as a mindset change from "what I need to do" to "what I need to know," using more granular enterprise data as the foundation for tax decisions.

As a recognised leader in the design, development, and implementation of innovative global mobility technologies, Deloitte’s mobility technology services can significantly streamline global mobility program administration and leverage international employee data to provide insights to business.

Deloitte has helped many global organisations integrate technology into their global mobility programmes and to become e-enabled. Our web-based tools, such as our next generation GlobalAdvantage Portal, can enhance customer service, speed up transactions, and monitor quality and accountability.
