As more and more opportunities arise for companies to expand their interests overseas, and as modern communications make overseas working far more easier, many companies are considering such options. However, from an employers perspective, you have a duty of care to ensure that your staff; wherever they are placed are adequately protected for both their health and safety. One way of achieving this is to provide them with suitable Health Insurance before they leave the UK. Local Laws Currently, a large number of countries are reviewing their state healthcare systems and introducing various reforms as a result. It is therefore quite difficult to get a definitive answer in some areas due to the constantly shifting regulation and reforms. One key area that some people can fall foul of is taxation laws, especially if you are working in one of the up and coming industries which are in demand at present. In many circumstances, the ‘individual’ is seen as responsible for their taxation situation. Not a problem in some parts of the world, but potential penalties in other parts, so ensure you have checked first… If your intention is to pay tax through a UK company, you could still find yourself at the peril of local by-laws. We recommend that you research your position before making the jump to be safe. Useful source of information: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/ Healthcare State healthcare in some countries is first class, better than enjoyed in the UK, however as you can appreciate, this can sometimes come at a price. Therefore, even if purchasing private health insurance, you need to know where you stand regarding whether the policy you have bought will be compliant ~ and not end you up in a world of problems. Even within Europe, many countries are closing long standing loop holes to help manage their economy, so even if you have been established in a country for some time, you may find things changing around you. |
