Expatriate Advice – Advice for companies on international employee assignments

International markets are increasingly converging and cross-border corporate activities are becoming increasingly complex. This is associated with a constantly expanding use of employees abroad or the temporary or permanent employment of foreign employees in Germany.

International employee assignments often have far-reaching tax consequences for you as a company and also for the employee. Questions regarding the treatment of employees’ social security obligations and the correct employment law of foreign assignments must be clarified.
