Social Security optimisation

While working abroad as an independent consultant, it is as important to ensure that you have social security cover as it is to have tax compliance.

In fact in many cases Social Security is more important from a compliance perspective, as not paying attention to this aspect of your remuneration can increase the potential liabilities for the individual, agency and end client.

With the enlargement of the EU, and the signing of the EU social charter with reference to the free movement of personnel, it is possible to pay contributions in the country of your employer, rather than your working country.

At Capital Consulting we will carry out a review of your situation and put the best solution in place for you, ensuring the correct coverage at the best price. For example, we would, were it cost effective to do so, apply for an E101 as your employer and carry out all of the registrations needed.

We will also advise you of the need for extra private health cover to supplement your social coverage where appropriate. Your single point of contact within our client services team will work with you to ensure the correct coverage is in place for you and your family.

As part of our contract management services, and based on a thorough understanding of your individual circumstances, Capital Consulting ensures comprehensive social security optimisation.  We recommend that you contact our contract management and tax planning specialists for appropriate advice.
