View all GMS Flash Alerts on the topic of tax.

Tax on income (earned and unearned) is a paramount concern for companies with globally-mobile employees and for the employees themselves.  Which country has the right to tax? What tax burden will the employee face and are there ways to mitigate that burden? What administrative matters must be addressed (forms filed, information to be reported, etc.)? Is the creation of a permanent establishment a concern?  GMS Flash Alert helps make sense of it all.
