Global Mobility Services

KPMG in India’s GMS practice provides tax and regulatory services to help organisations manage their statutory compliances in respect of their globally mobile workforce.

For many organisations, the pressure to compete effectively has led to an increase in the size and complexity of their global workforce, placing greater demands on their international human resource teams.
