Sending expatriates to Germany

Article Abstract:

Expatriate transfers often led to serious tax consequences for both the expatriated worker and his German employer. Most expatriates working in Germany are subjected to double taxation, particularly when their home country has double taxation treaty with their host nation. This forces many German firms to provide such employees with additional benefits to compensate for the heavy taxes imposed upon them.
