Employee benefits from tax and mandatory insurance perspectives

However, providing employee benefits has considerable tax implications. That is why we would like to invite you to a training course where you will learn more about employee benefits from the perspective of personal income tax (including mandatory social security and health insurance), as well as from the perspective of corporate income tax and VAT. VAT implications may sometimes be even more treacherous than those relating to direct taxes. Our speakers will outline the possibilities of providing employee benefits in a manner that is optimal for the employees and for the employer as regards tax and mandatory insurance.
