International Assignments

PwC in SA can plan, implement, manage and support the entire international assignment process for both long-term and short-term inbound (and outbound) international assignments. We can assist you with, inter alia, assignment coordination, and compliance procedures for expatriate employees, assignment planning and structuring, and payroll calculations. We use PwC developed assignee tracking and management software to provide 24/7 password controlled access to assignment information for the assignee, client and the PwC client service team around the globe.

PwC international assignment specialists are very aware of the impact that moving employees across borders can have on the South African direct and indirect taxation of the employer.  Our team therefore work very closely with the international corporate tax team to ensure that all taxes are considered when advising on the company’s international assignment deployment strategy.
