There are five steps you should employ when developing a global program for strategic tax reimbursement that balances the needs of both the company and employees with regard to managing tax costs:
- Strategically Align Company Objectives and Employee Values
- Consider Tax Impacts of Likely Host Locations
- Choose a Tax Reimbursement Method that Best Fits, for example:
- Tax Gross Up
- Tax Protection
- Tax Equalization
- A Hybrid Solution
- Tax Reimbursement Policy Design
- Tax Reimbursement Policy Launch & Implementation
