Tax and Immigration Considerations for Global Mobility Employees - 8 August 2018 One World Hotel, Petaling Jaya
Workshop Objective
Tax and immigration are critical areas which demand attention for
global companies which move talent around the world, whether on
short-term or long term assignments. Non-compliance with tax and
immigration laws can be costly to employers in view of severe fines,
penalties and administration costs, in addition to potential reputational
damage to companies and undue stress to international assignees. A
more proactive approach to advance planning for international
assignees helps a company effectively to reduce related risks and
costs.

Our two experienced speakers will share with you the tax/immigration
issues associated with international assignees who are on short term
or long term assignment to Malaysia.

                                                 The following topics will be covered during
                                                 the workshop:
