Global Mobility Services

KPMG in India’s GMS practice provides tax and regulatory services to help organisations manage their statutory compliances in respect of their globally mobile workforce.

For many organisations, the pressure to compete effectively has led to an increase in the size and complexity of their global workforce, placing greater demands on their international human resource teams. Managing compensation, tax compliance and global mobility is increasingly becoming costlier, more complex and time consuming.

We have a dedicated team of experienced professionals across India with extensive knowledge of various issues related to global mobility assignments.

Our key differentiators

Expatriate/personal taxation is a critical area which requires adequate planning. We aim to provide services that meet the expectations of our clients across the globe and emerge as the tax advisors of choice.

By its very nature of being personal, expatriate taxation tends to draw significant attention amongst senior executives and high net worth individuals. We recognise this fact and have worked towards meeting their expectations through:

An experienced team of professionals, with extensive experience in providing services related to global mobility management and developing tailored approaches to help improve client delivery
Placing senior team members at each location, providing guidance and support on engagements
Leveraging our global network and assisting clients across the globe
Maintaining client information as confidential
Developing in-house expertise in assisting with high end tax litigation matters.
