Managing the Impacts of Brexit: Immigration and Tax compliance

With the UK’s exit from the EU, new immigration and social security rules have come into effect that impacts how UK citizens travel and work in Europe. Prior to Brexit, UK Citizens enjoyed the freedom to travel, live, holiday, and work anywhere in the EU, but this is no longer the case.

Immigration rules will allow UK-passport holders visa-free travel for a combined total of 90-days in a rolling 180-day period, which includes both business travel and personal days.

Although these rules are not new to everyone, it is anticipated the EU will place unwavering enforcement to ensure compliance. For companies with employees travelling in and around Europe, having accurate visibility and reporting into where employees are working, and even vacationing will be critical to help manage and protect those employees against immigration and social security risk.
