Expatriate Issues

Long-term expatriates and shorter-term business travelers are sometimes the best means to resource international operations. However, these arrangements present a host of tax- and compliance-related issues that can be both costly and frustrating—both for the individuals as well as the parent companies involved. As the consequences of managing them improperly can include penalties and conflicts with foreign tax authorities, it’s important to get it right.  

High Street Partners can help your human resources personnel by clarifying the rules and outlining best practice.  We work to limit your overall employee and employer tax obligations, minimize costs, and structure arrangements to every party’s advantage. 

With significant experience in advising on all aspects of these issues, High Street Partners can assist with work permit, immigration and visa matters; payroll and host country tax requirements; tax reimbursement methodologies including tax equalization, dual employment agreements, split payroll arrangements, employment legislation in both the home and host countries, as well as appropriate expatriate compensation structuring.
