Global Workforce: U.S. Tax Impact on Digital Nomads, Remote Workers and Their (Often Overlooked) Employers

Decription 

Are your clients exploring foreign work opportunities—for themselves or their employees? Are you advising businesses with remote or globally mobile teams?** The U.S. tax consequences are complex and often misunderstood.

As remote work continues to expand beyond borders, U.S. tax professionals are being asked to advise on digital nomads, foreign entities, remote employees, and evolving residency rules. This webinar breaks down the key U.S. tax considerations—into clear, actionable guidance.

From foreign earned income exclusions to permanent establishment risks, we’ll explore how to help your clients navigate international work arrangements while staying compliant.

🌍 Why This Matters Now:

The shift to remote work—accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic—has made it easier than ever for Americans to work from anywhere with a laptop and an internet connection. Some are working from beach towns in Portugal or mountain villages in Colombia, while others continue running U.S. businesses from abroad. Countries like the UAE are even introducing special digital nomad visas to attract this talent.
