Our progressive thinkers offer services to help create, protect and transform value today, so you have opportunity to thrive tomorrow. Our services can strengthen your business and stakeholders' confidence. You'll receive professionally verified results and insights that help you grow. Our outsourcing services remove the burden and worry of back office processes and reporting requirements across multiple jurisdictions. Our discreet professionals combine experience, subject matter knowledge and deep industry expertise to help clients manage increasing external pressures on their business. They are experienced in both civil and criminal matters. We will help you in fraud and/or corruption investigations, fraud and anti-corruption training, risk management, money laundering investigations and compliance, asset tracing, criminal defence and opensource business intelligence investigations. We can also support you with the resolution of insurance claims, including business interruption, subrogated claims, product recall, personal injury and fraudulent claims. We offer in-depth computer forensic analysis, data acquisition and analysis, eDiscovery and data analytics. We provide global mobility solutions to global or expatriate firms, inbound or outbound. Sending employees on assignment can be a very costly exercise. Without planning, it can cost multiples of the amount needed to employ in the home country. It can also trigger unintended tax consequences that can negatively impact a Company’s ability to effectively carry on and expand its business operations across different jurisdictions. Assistance with budgeting and cost management for both long and short term assignments. Co-ordination of both home and host country assignee tax return compliance, ensuring tax returns and payments are made on a timely basis from both a corporate and personal perspective. Effective assignment structuring, covering suitable employment arrangements and remuneration delivery. Advising on tax efficient delivery of cash and non-cash based remuneration. Review of incentive and pension arrangements to ensure efficiencies are optimised and potential additional tax liabilities are avoided where possible. Design and review of customised international mobility policies based on best practice and specific needs of the business. For example, policies that cover both short and long term assignments; business commuters and employees who permanently relocate to another jurisdiction. The South African firm is an important link in the Grant Thornton global network as many multinationals invest in this country as a doorway to Africa. We can advise them on local tax implications, hand-in-hand with looking after their employees’ income tax obligations. We also offer outsourced payroll services for offshore companies without a permanent presence in this country. Likewise, if you are a South African travelling abroad, we can assist with advice on expat tax requirements in your destination country, via Grant Thornton’s extensive international network. We pride ourselves on being an entrepreneurial company, growing with our clients. We are determined not to lose that personal touch for which we’re so well known.
