Welcome

Welcome to the Mazars Global Mobility Services guide to expatriate taxation worldwide.

The tax and social security legislation and rates may differ significantly and is frequently changing. For expatriates working in different countries it is necessary to consider the relevant laws and regulations and being compliant with the different laws is not always simple, nor is it clear that different solutions could be given.

We have also given a comparison of the level of social security contributions and individual income tax in the mentioned countries. The guide includes the contact details for our offices and experts who would be pleased to assist you in respect of specific issues which arise in practice.
