Remote cross-border work: transfer pricing, corporate and payroll tax

Opportunities and risks for employers in cross-border "New Work" activities

This training is held in German.
Workation as a combination of work and vacation, mobile "work from anywhere" and home office activities from vacation homes or (second) residences abroad have become a daily challenge for larger companies. Added to this is the tightening of international tax regulations as a result of the BEPS project and its implementation in Germany and globally. For internationally active companies, this results in high tax risks in the area of transfer pricing/corporate tax/payroll tax from remote work. Incorrect processing of these cases can cost companies dearly. Find out in this training how you can resolve these cases with legal certainty.
