For many businesses, the short term business traveler is an essential resource. However, encouraging employees to travel across international borders fulfilling immediate business staffing needs or meeting with overseas colleagues or clients inevitably presents tax compliance risks. Employees working in multiple locations are often senior executives whose cross-border travel is rarely covered by an international assignment policy. They typically do not cease home location tax residence yet can still trigger tax obligations and liabilities in other jurisdictions, both for themselves as employees, and for their employer.
