GLOBAL MOBILITY

A multinational company needed a comprehensive solution for a new business assignment. Glanbia, a nutrition company, was sending a group of employees from Ireland and the UK to the US for 6-9 months.

Needs

• Employer and Employee Tax and Social Security issues arising from the relocation.
• Maintain employees in their home country employment for the duration of the project.
• Protect employees from any additional taxes and charges which would arise as a result of the assignment.
• Remain compliant in both jurisdictions.

Solutions Implemented

• Net to Gross and Gross to Net calculations – for cost projection purposes.
• Tax briefings – these were information sessions regarding advice on Income Tax, Payroll and Social Security implications of the assignment.
• US Tax Registration advice
• Tax Returns – preparation and reconciliation
• Certificates of Coverage – from Irish and UK authorities. These allow the employee to remain in their home country’s social security system meaning their contributions are unaffected.
• Reconciliation calculations these were part of the Tax Equalisation policy at the end of the year.
• Tax Refunds – arrange the relevant transfers
