Does Hudson McKenzie provide tax advice?

No. Hudson McKenzie does not provide tax, accounting or financial advice. Where tax advice is required, we introduce clients to experienced independent tax professionals within our trusted international network and coordinate closely to ensure immigration and tax considerations are aligned.

Can Hudson McKenzie coordinate immigration and tax advisers?

Yes. We regularly work alongside specialist tax advisers around the world, providing clients with a seamless, coordinated approach to global mobility matters.

Why should immigration and tax be considered together?

Cross-border employment often creates immigration, payroll, tax and social security obligations simultaneously. Coordinating these issues from the outset helps businesses reduce compliance risks, improve efficiency and avoid unnecessary delays.

Which countries do you support?

Hudson McKenzie supports clients across the globe through its international immigration practice and trusted network of independent tax professionals, enabling coordinated global mobility solutions in multiple jurisdictions.

Global Mobility Tax & Immigration Support

International employee mobility involves far more than obtaining visas and work permits. Every cross-border move has tax implications that can affect employers, employees and the overall success of an international assignment.

At Hudson McKenzie, we recognise that immigration and tax are intrinsically linked. While we are a leading global immigration firm, we do not provide tax advice or tax compliance services directly. Instead, we work with a trusted network of highly experienced tax professionals and specialist tax advisers across jurisdictions worldwide to deliver seamless, coordinated solutions for our clients.

Our integrated approach ensures that immigration, tax and employment considerations are addressed together rather than in isolation, helping businesses manage international assignments efficiently while reducing compliance risks.

A Joined-Up Global Mobility Approach

Many organisations treat immigration and tax as separate workstreams. In reality, immigration decisions frequently trigger tax, payroll and social security obligations. By coordinating closely with our international tax partners, we help clients identify potential issues early in the assignment lifecycle, enabling informed planning and reducing unexpected costs.

Our collaborative approach supports:

International assignments
Business travel compliance
Global workforce mobility programmes
Cross-border employment
Remote and hybrid international working
Permanent transfers
Short-term assignments
Long-term expatriate assignments
Senior executive relocations
Global talent mobility strategies

Working with Leading International Tax Specialists

Hudson McKenzie has established relationships with independent tax professionals and specialist tax advisory firms in key business locations around the world. Where tax advice is required, we coordinate directly with the appropriate advisers, providing clients with a seamless experience while ensuring that immigration and tax advice remain aligned throughout the assignment.

‍

Depending on the jurisdiction and assignment, our tax partners can advise on matters including:

Expatriate tax planning
Individual income tax obligations
Employer tax responsibilities
Shadow payroll
Tax equalisation and tax protection policies
Social security and totalisation agreements
Double taxation considerations
Cross-border payroll coordination
Employer reporting obligations
International assignment tax planning

Tax advice is provided independently by qualified tax professionals in the relevant jurisdiction. Hudson McKenzie does not provide tax, accounting or financial advice.

Why Immigration and Tax must be considered together

Improve employee experience
Support HR and Global Mobility teams
