Preparing the Package

Expatriate Benefits Package Preparation

It is important to get the expatriate package right. There are a number of different aspects that need to be taken into account when preparing the expatriate package.

What does it cover?

Assignment Costings
We will produce a forecast financial summary to ensure you are aware of the full cost of the assignment, year by year.

Tax and Social Security Planning
We offer bespoke tax solutions using tax software that we develop and update in-house. This enables us to complete the tax planning effectively. It also means we can respond quickly to you, as home and host country tax calculations are made simultaneously.

Hypothetical Tax Calculations
Many of our clients have adopted the tax equalisation approach to pay and benefits. We prepare the balance sheet calculations for you; we take into account all components of tax and social security planning.

Assignment Contracts
It is important that the assignment letter not only incorporates the terms and conditions of the assignment but also reflects the tax planning assumptions that have been made. We will draft the contract for you.

Payroll Instructions
Home and host country payroll often find it difficult to handle split payrolls. We will liaise with the payroll department in both the home and host countries to ensure that the correct payments are being made and that the tax and social security is being correctly accounted for.

How are your needs met?

You will be fully briefed on the cost implications of an assignment. You will be able to use this information to ensure you achieve a good return on investment. You will be reassured that your tax and social security liabilities have been minimised. You will be know you are compliant on tax and social security matters.
