Internationally Mobile Employees & the FIG Regime - One Year On

Introduction

The Finance Act 2025 introduced significant changes to the taxation of internationally mobile employees working in the UK from 6 April 2025.

As we approach the end of 2025/26, this new virtual classroom seminar considers how these new provisions are impacting both employers and employees.

It is aimed at anyone who deals with, or has clients who deal with, international assignees or who wants a more detailed knowledge of the post 6 April 2025 rules on Overseas Workday Relief (OWR).
