CompassTAX Chartered Accountants

At CompassTAX™, we develop cost-effective assignment tax programs for Canadian companies sending employees around the world and bringing international consultant expertise to their Canadian projects. These Assignment Tax Programs provide detailed advanced tax planning, including policies, procedures and employment contracts, which serve to minimize costs and mitigate any risk of litigation. Companies typically include in their assignment tax program provision for individual tax counseling for their international assignees, as well as preparation of the applicable tax returns. Our CompassTAX tax professionals are adept at dealing with assignees, to answer their tax questions, provide thorough individual tax reviews and prepare optimal tax returns which are blended with their host country tax obligations.

Cross-border corporate tax planning should be one of the first steps in the planning of any international business venture, as effective planning at this level sets expectations for business profitability and establishes parameters that will be used in all other planning to follow. Our CompassTAX Corporate Tax Services Group provides such services.

At CompassGUIDES™ we assist multi-national employers with their high-level planning of international assignments. We review the status of planning to date, in order to identify the steps which need to be taken, and to formulate a plan. We strive to meet those needs by bringing in the appropriate talent to complete the steps in the action plan, including CompassTAX Chartered Accountants for the assignment tax components, our in-house expertise and a number of preferred service providers, as necessary. At CompassGUIDES we also specialize in the preparation and provision of assignment documentation, including the possibility of offering these guides online to employees anywhere in the world with internet access.
