Many advisers in the
international freelance sector claim to be specialists. However, many are
simply not set-up to advise contractors going overseas. They are simply
jumping on a “bandwagon”, and their “specialism” consists entirely of 12-18
months experience of placing contractors following a successful career as a
BMW salesman!
It is a fact that anyone
giving tax compliance advice in the international sector has to be more than
just a specialist. They must be an expert also and have at their disposal
the necessary resources, technology and track record.
Global K, through its network of international tax lawyers and accountants,
will be constantly aware of changes in overseas tax laws, always keeping in
mind matters relevant to the non-resident taxpayer.
And our track record,
coupled with the fact that our key staff are all professionally qualified
accountants, will give the contractor comfort that his money is in safe
hands, and will reach him as soon as is practically possible following
payment by the agency.
Global K will concentrate in particular on the several key areas to ensure
the contractor’s tax exposure is minimised and his net income is maximised,
while ensuring that, through the use of the member’s areas on this website,
paperwork is kept to the very minimum.
Ø
In the key
areas of tax planning relevant to the international contractor, Global K is
aware of, and expert in, all aspects of tax planning which are applicable to
the international contractor. Do our competitors have access to the same
knowledge?
Ø
When you
select the structure through which you will operate, Global K will consider
all of the
options
compared elsewhere on this web-site and choose the best one for you. Don’t
our competitors generally offer the one rigid structure which suits them
best?
Ø
Sometimes it
may be possible to reduce the contractor's tax burden by (subject to
negotiations with agency / employer) deferring / accelerating his date of
arrival in or departure from the relevant country. We are always available
to give such advice which may seem to be outwith our direct remit. Are our
competitors so considerate?
Ø
We provide a
personal and personalised service. An international contractor's tax status
in a particular country will often be influenced by his immediate past
working pattern. The tax treatment of a contractor moving for the first time
from his home country to an overseas contract will almost always be
different from that of the contractor moving from one foreign location to
another. Of equal significance in many cases will be the contractor's
marital status, children, and home ownership. We will consider all these
factors in offering the best solution. Will our competitors?
Ø
Certain
expenses incurred by the contractor are tax-deductible and some are not ,
and different countries have a different approach to what is and is not tax
deductible. Our competitors blanket approach to expenses, pension planning
etc. can cost the contractor money!!
SO CHOOSE GLOBAL K FOR YOUR GLOBAL TAX
COMPLIANCE AND ADMINISTRATION, AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF THAT IT’S EASIER
TO SLEEP WITH A CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT!!
