Payroll and expats

We assist companies in every aspect of their payroll process, from handling the initial set-up and annual reporting requirements, to supporting the payment of salaries and social security contributions. We also have professionals who advise on expatriate tax issues.

KPMG International Business Support works with many different kinds of organizations to get these things right – because getting them wrong is the fastest way to attract unwanted attention from the tax authorities, to incur penalties, and to demotivate your people. Our professionals know the rules and opportunities inside out, and they use the latest technology to make sure your company’s payroll and expatriate tax issues are handled smoothly.
