  We can help you get necessary visas, work and residency permits, determine applicable visa categories, and advise on immigration and compliance topics and processes.

• International Payroll Services

  When an employee is sent to work in another jurisdiction there is frequently a payroll tax withholding and reporting obligation in the host jurisdiction. If the employee remains on home country payroll, there may be a reporting and withholding obligation in both jurisdictions. Failure to properly report and withhold could result in penalties assessed to both the employer and employee.

   

  KPMG can help a company establish a "shadow payroll" to report compensation in the host country, even if paid from the home country payroll. In addition, KPMG can assist with obtaining certificates of coverage to help reduce social security taxes, and obtaining waivers to help reduce home country withholding. Properly complying with international payroll reporting and withholding requirements can help a company ensure good corporate standing, avoid unrecorded liabilities, and promote operational efficiencies.

• Global Equity and Deferred Compensation Services

  Equity and deferred compensation may be subject to different tax rules, depending upon the location of residence or services when granted, vested, or received. The challenge is to ensure you and your employees manage taxes while meeting payroll reporting and withholding requirements. KPMG can assist with technology tools to help ensure that such compensation is tracked and reported in the appropriate jurisdiction, and to avoid double withholding taxes. Proper tax planning can help reduce corporate deductibility, in order to further reduce costs.

• Global Wealth Services

  In order to build, manage, and preserve wealth on a multinational basis, it can be necessary to consider a person's global income and wealth taxes. Estate taxes can erode a significant portion of a family's wealth. When a wealthy person lives in a foreign jurisdiction or has beneficiaries outside his home country, income and wealth taxes can be quite complex.

   

  KPMG's Global Wealth Services team works with high net worth executives and individuals to help ensure that global income and estate taxation can be reduced. Frequently, a properly drafted will or implementation of a trust structure can help reduce taxation while providing comfort to executives that their estate planning has been designed to meet their financial goals.
