Employment Tax

Employment tax is relevant to both employers and employees who must comply with legislation concerning employment and benefits. These regulations are often complex, especially in cross-border situations, and are amended frequently. We offer you solutions based on in-depth knowledge.

With the ever-increasing burden of legal and tax compliance, the services and advice of employment tax and benefit specialists may become necessary, especially in the case of remuneration structures for managers of multinational enterprises and expats. Packages need to be carefully structured in order to be tax-efficient and in line with applicable labour law.

Special attention for fund managers
