Mobility, Payroll, and Immigration services

Immigration

Many businesses need access to a global workforce with cross-border mobility. For those with operations in multiple geographies, employee mobility can be key to strategic plans and operational expansion. To get the right resources in the right places, they must be agile and coordinate quick, efficient international employee transfers. That requires compliant, cost-effective immigration programs that support both business objectives and employee needs.

We work with organizations across all industries and at any scale—from those with a handful of foreign national local hires to organizations with thousands of international assignees. Deloitte’s immigration specialists together with select alliances work to help clients develop successful strategies to address immigration challenges worldwide. Our immigration compliance services help businesses and private clients complete work permits, business visas, employer sponsorships, and immigration applications. Our immigration advisory services professionals have built relationship with regulatory authorities and can provide government advocacy, audit, and right to work support. We design immigration programs that are human-centered, built on diversity and inclusion, and based in proactive compliance.

Mobility tax

A flexible, mobile workforce gives businesses additional flexibility to assign the right resources to the right locations supporting project requirements, facilitating business growth, and adding inherent value. A wide range of temporary, permanent, mobile, and remote employee arrangements are common in today’s businesses, each requiring different levels of support. Such flexibility can also increase compliance risk and make tax obligations more complex, with businesses and mobile employees often required to file returns in multiple jurisdictions.
