Global Mobility services manage the movement of employees between countries — whether for short-term business travel, long-term assignments, or permanent relocations. Services include tax equalization calculations, assignment compensation structuring, relocation logistics, housing and schooling support, dual-filing tax returns, and expat program administration.
Engage global mobility specialists when: (1) Employees are on multi-year international assignments; (2) Dual-country tax filing obligations create complexity; (3) Assignment compensation structuring (COLA, housing allowance, hardship premium) needs professional design; (4) Expat program scale justifies dedicated administration.
Global mobility program costs range from $20,000–$100,000+ per long-term assignment (including relocation, tax compliance, housing allowance, COLA). Global mobility management platform fees range from $200–$800/assignee/month for administration.
Tax treaty networks vary — the US has 68 tax treaties, while some countries have very limited treaty coverage. Singapore has favorable expat tax regimes. Germany taxes worldwide income for tax residents. The UAE has no personal income tax, making it a low-tax destination for assignees.
