The tax implications of recruiting, rewarding, retaining and incentivising employees can have a significant impact on a business, especially as work location becomes less of an issue. This has led to employers facing unique challenges concerning employment tax both from a domestic and international point of view.
We work with businesses to develop every aspect of their global employment tax strategy, understand and comply with their taxation obligations, and prepare for tax authority reviews. Our expert team helps to validate internal processes to control risks and costs and, if compliance failures occur, we work with you on remediation and can negotiate directly with tax authorities.
Our services also include helping organisations to understand their total employment tax costs and identify the controllable elements, as well as supporting them to understand and mitigate current and emerging employment risks caused by legislation and regulation, such as minimum wage, pay ratios, and other pay fairness issues.
This can involve supporting businesses to restructure their pay and benefits arrangements, such as salary sacrifice schemes, flexible working arrangements, and cost-effective benefit schemes to reduce employer costs.
As employers are constantly navigating multiple jurisdictions with numerous tax and regulatory authorities, our team can help clients to manoeuvre through these complexities whilst maximising the benefits for both people and business.
PwC Belgium’s local team of experienced employment tax experts are part of a global network of over 2,100 specialists based in 97 countries – all ready to work together to help you navigate the risks, costs and operational challenges of managing a workforce anywhere in the world.
