International Payroll and Employment Solutions
As the globe contracts as a market place and companies expand to new territories, each company is faced with many challenges. One of the primary concerns for all internationally expanding companies is whether to set up local entities in each of the countries where they operate. This raises a number of further questions around how to payroll and employ international and local staff in each of these countries. Compliance, cost effectiveness and reliable service providers are the holy grail of global mobility professionals everywhere.

Corporation, payroll and employment law is idiosyncratic to each country. Unless your operational expertise covers the region, setting up companies, running payrolls and employing staff in each new territory will not only be a highly expensive undertaking, 
involving an overwhelming administration burden but also a significant drain on your human resources department. Not to mention the risk of failing to correctly implement foreign employment, occupational health and safety and taxation regulations.
The current trend for many burgeoning international organisations is to outsource this function to a 3rd Party. They can employ and payroll your local and international employees and businesses can concentrate on securing and servicing their clients. Leave the issues of local compliance to the local experts. Should your business grow to the level where you decide to establish and run your own local payroll - it's easy to transition your staff over.

Case Study
A UK based software development company landed several clients in Brazil. In order to provide the onsite support and consultancy that their clients require they needed to employ and payroll several of their UK based employees and a number of local candidates. They were initially tempted to set up a Brazilian entity to invoice their local client and employ and payroll their staff, however after some investigation they found that not only was it very costly but that the local regulations and administration proved too time consuming and difficult for them to manage. 
Having tried to search for local suppliers they were directed to Contractor Taxation International Payroll Solutions and contacted us to obtain a number of quotes from our range of International Payroll Companies - all of whom are pre-qualified by our supplier assessment criteria. Our partner company in Brazil was able to remove the administration burden and save the client valuable time and money.

Offshore Trusts
Offshore trusts are the same as onshore trusts, but due to their being formed in an offshore jurisdiction become highly effective devices for tax minimization and wealth protection. Most commonly this is an arrangement where assets (money / property / investments / intellectual property) are transferred to a trustee. The administration of the trust is strictly governed by rules and regulations to ensure that the assets are managed for the advantage of nominated beneficiaries.
Trusts are popular because of their many benefits:
- privacy
- wealth protection
- can be tailored to specific requirements
- recognised in most international tax law
- tax minimisation for capital gains, income tax, estate tax and inheritance tax
- consolidation of assets
Why establish a trust offshore? Because offshore jurisdictions have laws favourable to the establishment and running of a trust including privacy laws, low tax levels and trust-friendly legislation.
