International taxation for expatriates

Taxing Employees correctly for cross-border activities

This training is held in German.
When deploying Employees abroad, in addition to national tax law, foreign law and double taxation agreements must also be taken into account for the taxation of companies and Employees . This complexity increases the risk of liability - especially for employers. This training provides you with in-depth knowledge on the foreign assignment of your Employees - from transfer pricing and corporate taxes to the establishment of permanent establishments and their respective effects on employee taxation. In addition to the current legal situation, the currently popular "new work" cases ("remote cross-border work" including home office, "workation" and "mobile work from anywhere") will also be discussed.
