Tax & Regulatory Advisory
Equity-based compensation has become an increasingly important component of employee reward strategies, particularly for multinational organisations seeking to attract, retain, and incentivise talent. Share-based incentives such as stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), employee stock purchase plans, and other equity awards allow organisations to align employee interests with long-term business performance.
However, when employees receiving equity compensation move across borders, the tax, reporting, and regulatory implications can become significantly more complex. Different jurisdictions may apply varying rules regarding the taxation of equity awards, the timing of tax events, and employer reporting obligations. In addition, cross-border mobility can create challenges in determining the sourcing of income, calculating tax liabilities, and managing employer compliance responsibilities.
Our solutions are pivotal for both individuals and organisations to navigate the complexities of global equity compensation effectively. We offer strategies for tax optimisation, timely reporting, and assistance with compliance to safeguard expatriates' financial interests.
BDO’s Global Equity Mobility Solution (GEMS) caters to expatriates by managing the intricate tax and financial aspects of equity-based compensation during international assignments.
