Workation

A ‘workation’, derived from the term “work” and “vacation”, refers to the post-covid phenomenon of remote working from any location. However, there are many tax-related implications which apply to this newfound working model. Some countries have embraced the opportunity, with Spain introducing a ‘digital nomads’ regime with a potential 15% tax rate.

Some of the key issues to consider are-:

• Income tax Liability in home country
• Income tax Liability in new country of residence
• Social security arrangements
• Double tax treaty
• Permanent establishment in new home country for employer and its implications

These are just some of the issue’s that arise, there are other issues for employers which would need reviewing.
