About This Course

New Zealand employers, are your employees asking to work while travelling? Are you needing to look overseas to hire employees but finding they want to stay working remotely?

We are finding these very questions are being asked frequently. However, getting this wrong can expose both employer and employee to unexpected tax risks. In this webinar, we will bring in practical tips to enable you to establish or refine your flexible working policies, determine whether to grant or decline requests from employees, and overall protect both your business and your employees from unexpected surprises.

Topics to be covered include:

  • Employees ordinarily New Zealand tax resident working offshore in both DTA and non-DTA countries
  • Employees ordinarily elsewhere working in New Zealand
  • Employee versus contractor considerations, and implications
  • Allowances and extra pay differences
  • Remote payroll options
  • Taxable presence (permanent establishment) considerations when employees are in a country
  • Withholding tax implications
  • Contingency planning – managing tax consequences

This course will not cover non-tax considerations in detail.

 

Suitable for:

  • HR specialists, particularly in-house HR specialists, as these professionals are often the decision-makers around these decisions 
  • Payroll professionals
  • In-house finance teams
  • Accountants, tax advisors, and external HR advisors who may be approached to advise on these matters
