KPMG helps organizations manage work from anywhere tax risk, global mobility compliance, and remote workforce policies across jurisdictions—while supporting flexibility and growth.
Work from anywhere is here to stay. It's a fundamental restructuring of the talent market. While offering flexibility helps attract and retain top performers, it also introduces significant tax, regulatory, and operational complexities. Managing a distributed workforce requires a robust strategy to handle cross-border tax issues, multi-state payroll compliance, and permanent establishment (PE) risk.
It sounds simple—yet it can be complex.
When work crosses borders, even virtually, it can change withholding, reporting, social security, and corporate tax outcomes. You need clarity on where people work, how long, what activities they perform, and which approvals apply to manage exposure and support your talent strategy.
To succeed, organizations need a clear, repeatable framework for managing their distributed workforce. KPMG helps you move from reactive decisions to a proactive governance model, enabling you to manage risk and unlock value. Our approach is built on five core pillars:

Effective governance is impossible without the right technology. Automation is essential for managing a complex, distributed workforce and complying with a myriad of location-specific requirements.
