Testimonials
“
We had employees moving between India, Singapore, and the UK. IMC helped us review their tax obligations before each assignment. It made our payroll and reporting much easier to manage.

Daniel Wong Global HR Director, Singapore
“
Our biggest concern was unexpected tax exposure for employees working remotely abroad. Their team reviewed each arrangement and highlighted the required tax filings. We now have a much clearer process for cross-border hires.

We needed help with tax planning for employees relocating to India. The consultants explained the residency rules and potential tax obligations clearly. Their guidance helped us avoid last-minute compliance issues.

“
Several executives were moving across countries during the same financial year. IMC reviewed their individual tax positions and social security obligations. The process was much more organised than handling each case separately.

FAQs
Global mobility tax services help employers and internationally mobile employees manage the tax implications of working, relocating or being assigned across countries. These services can cover international assignment tax planning, expatriate tax compliance, tax residency, tax equalisation, cross-border payroll, social security and tax reporting.
A global mobility tax consultant advises employers and employees on the tax consequences of international assignments and cross-border work. This can include assessing tax residency, reviewing home and host country tax obligations, planning assignments, advising on tax equalisation, reviewing payroll tax requirements and supporting individual tax compliance.
A company may need a global mobility tax consultant when employees relocate, work temporarily overseas, travel frequently for business, work remotely from another country or move between home and host countries. Specialist advice can also be useful when establishing international assignment policies, assessing payroll obligations or determining the tax cost of an employee transfer.
Yes. Global mobility tax consultants can support expatriate employees with tax residency assessments, arrival and departure tax planning, individual tax returns, tax briefings, foreign income reporting and other home and host country tax matters. They can also coordinate with the employer’s mobility, HR and payroll teams where required.
Yes. Tax residency is an important part of international employee tax planning. IMC can assess the employee’s circumstances and the relevant country rules to help determine the likely tax residency position and understand the resulting tax filing and reporting obligations. For employees moving to or from India, residency should be reviewed for the relevant financial year and assignment period.
Yes. International assignment tax planning can be carried out before an employee moves and during the assignment. This may include reviewing the assignment structure, compensation, tax residency, home and host country tax exposure, tax credits, payroll requirements and expected tax costs. Early planning can help employers understand the tax implications before an assignment begins.
Yes. IMC can advise employers on tax equalisation and tax protection arrangements for international assignments. Tax equalisation is generally designed to prevent an employee’s assignment from changing their tax burden compared with remaining in their home country, while tax protection can protect the employee from a higher tax cost arising from the assignment.
Yes. Cross-border assignments can create payroll withholding, reporting and employment tax obligations in the home and host countries. IMC can help employers review these requirements and assess matters such as payroll tax, shadow payroll, income tax withholding and social security obligations for internationally mobile employees.
Yes. Working remotely from another country can create tax, payroll and social security considerations for both the employee and employer. IMC can assess the employee’s working location, tax residency, employment income and applicable compliance requirements to help determine the relevant cross-border tax considerations.
Yes. IMC can support companies and international employees moving to India with matters such as Indian tax residency, expatriate tax, assignment planning, tax compliance, employment income taxation and social security considerations. The tax position should be assessed based on the employee’s circumstances, assignment structure and the countries involved.
Yes. Social security can be an important part of an international assignment because an employee may have obligations in the home country, host country or both. IMC can review the relevant assignment and employment circumstances and advise on applicable social security considerations, including India-related requirements where relevant.
The cost depends on the scope of work, countries involved, number of employees, assignment duration and type of tax support required. A single expatriate tax consultation will generally require a different level of work than ongoing tax compliance for a large international workforce. IMC can assess your requirement and provide a fee based on the services and jurisdictions involved.
