Managing Expatriates and Cross-Border Workforce Compliance in India

India’s growing role as a global business and talent hub has significantly increased the movement of expatriates, cross-border employees, and remote workers into the country. At the same time, evolving Indian regulations around tax residency, payroll withholding, social security applicability, immigration compliance, and Permanent Establishment (PE) exposure have created heightened compliance obligations and operational risks for foreign employers managing workforce deployment into India. 

On June 24, join Lalitha Rao-Manager, Corporate Accounting Services and Jaya Khurana-Assistant Manager, Corporate Accounting Services for an insightful discussion on managing expatriate and cross-border workforce compliance in India. This webinar will provide practical insights into the tax, payroll, immigration, and regulatory considerations associated with deploying employees into India, including workforce structuring, cross-border payroll coordination, expatriate taxation, and remote work compliance 

The session will also examine common risk areas for foreign companies operating with employees or representatives in India and outline practical strategies for maintaining compliant mobility frameworks. 

Key topics covered in the webinar include: 

• India entry and expatriate assignment planning 
• Tax residency, payroll, and cross-border tax compliance 
• Shadow payroll, TDS, and foreign tax credit considerations 
• EPF/social security and immigration compliance for expatriates 
• Remote work-from-India and Permanent Establishment (PE) risks
