With increasing expansion of international businesses and a more mobile global workforce, a growing number of Australian employers are either employing workers from abroad or are offering overseas postions to Australian workers.  In either case, a number of foreign tax complications can arise for both the employer and employee.

 

Unfortuantely, when an individual is considering the move to a foreign country, tax consequences are often low on their list of prioirties.  The complexities of dealing with dual tax systems and in particular the impact of numerous double tax treaties can be a minefield. 

 

For employers, it is very important to identify the tax issues involved before making an offer of employment in order to keep the costs of expatriating employees to a mimnium and to effectively and efficiently design attractive remuneration packages.
