    Our Services: Expatriate Employee Tax Advice and Planning

    As part of our business setup and compliance services, we can assist you with tax advice and planning for your organisation and employees.

    Navigating local tax laws and regulations can be one of the most challenging aspects of setting up a business abroad, especially due to the highly complex nature of some local laws.

    It can be especially tricky if you don’t have a dedicated corporate finance or tax specialist on hand, or if you’re unfamiliar with the local language of the location you’ll be moving to.

    IAS’ advisers can help you navigate the intricacies of local tax laws where you are, ensuring full peace of mind that your business will be operating with full compliance to local regulations. We can help with tax structuring for internationally assigned staff, management accounts, payroll support, tax filings and social security contributions, as well as managing processes to ensure minimal disruption to operations during the setup phase.

    We can even assist by performing mock tax audits or assessments if necessary, further helping to relieve you of your regulatory burden.

    Our Services: Labour Management and Recruitment

    Knowing how to manage and recruit new employees in an unfamiliar business environment can also be one of the most challenging aspects of operating a business abroad.

    There are normally stringent laws regarding these aspects of business operations, including restrictions on who you can hire, how much you should pay them, how to manage their hours worked and how to keep records of important aspects of your businesses’ operations.

    With IAS’ help, you can start operating and expanding your business immediately, taking full advantage of your access to a new talent pool and fresh perspectives to enhance your team.

    From employee recruitment processes, including job adverts, interviews and candidate vetting, to ensuring that your new employees will be working in accordance with all necessary labour laws, we will take care of any aspect of employee rights and recruitment you wish, leaving you to get on with other important core business activities.

    We can also provide you with guidance on cultural differences, local business customs and business foreign language lessons to help you further understand and integrate into your new host country.

    Our Services: Ongoing Compliance Management

    Business and corporate compliance is an ever-changing landscape, and keeping up with the latest developments and alterations to local regulations is crucial for businesses.

    Failing to do so could result in harsh penalties, or even criminal prosecution in some extreme circumstances.

    With IAS, we can help provide your business with ongoing compliance management services even beyond the initial setup stage. As businesses need to continually adapt to new compliance regulations throughout their operation, our advisers will work with you as your business grows to ensure that the legal, financial and administrative procedures you undertake continue to meet local requirements.

    This includes audit support and preparation, risk assessments, compliance health checks, company secretarial record management and personal updates on changing laws and regulatory frameworks for your industry delivered directly to you.

    Let IAS be your trusted partner in business compliance as your business continues to expand and grow into new markets. Call us today on +44 (0)333 414 9244 or reach out to us online to start your journey.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The specific penalties and consequences of failing to meet business compliance regulations will vary between country to country. They will also be heavily dependent on the nature of the infraction and its seriousness.

    However, generally speaking, you may have to pay fines when failing to keep your business compliant, or else face criminal prosecution. Key stakeholders may even face imprisonment  for more serious infractions.

    All of these may lead to harm and disruption for the business itself, including a loss of customers, negative publicity and damage to a business’ reputation.

    It’s important to ensure that you’re aware of the penalties in your chosen host country for non-compliance, and that you take all necessary steps to ensure you operate your business within local laws and regulations.

    Business compliance can be a highly complex and demanding area to consider, especially if you are a solo entrepreneur or a small business looking to move to an unfamiliar country.

    However, the main aspects of business administration within the compliance space you will generally have to consider, regardless of where you are in the world, may include the following:

    • Employment law
    • Workers’ rights 
    • Minimum wages
    • Financial regulations
    • Ethical conduct guidelines
    • Data protection
    • Health and safety
    • Third-party agreements
    • Voluntary compliance areas

    There are a few ways you can ensure that your business continues to be compliant with local laws and regulations, including the following:

    • Carefully reading and researching all relevant local laws regarding business compliance
    • Keeping up to date with changes and updates to local laws
    • Conducting regular compliance audits and risk assessments, whether carried out internally or through an external service
    • Hiring a dedicated compliance manager or delegating compliance duties to an existing employee
    • Ensuring that all staff are carefully trained in compliance matters and that they carry out their responsibilities in accordance with compliance regulations
    • Seeking legal advice from local compliance experts and consultants who can give you tailored support and guidance
