The Day-Count Trap
Every day you spend in a high-tax country is tracked by its tax authority. Exceeding the legal limit accidentally triggers local tax residency, a catastrophic event that can expose your entire global income & wealth to their tax system.
PBL Law Group designs a meticulous day-count management strategy. We proactively track your global footprint to ensure you never breach the threshold, providing a legal shield that protects your wealth from accidental tax residency.
The Accidental Corporation
Your activities in a foreign country can unintentionally create a “Permanent Establishment” (PE). This makes your company legally liable for local corporate taxes & compliance, even if it has no official office there, creating a significant financial & administrative burden.
Our PE risk advisory is designed to prevent this. We analyse your global work patterns & structure your activities to ensure your company is only ever taxed where it is legally domiciled.

The Double Contribution Trap
Without a clear strategy, a globally mobile executive can be legally required to pay social security contributions on the same income in two countries simultaneously. This is not a choice; it is a compulsory & significant drain on your personal & corporate finances.
We navigate complex bilateral social security treaties on your behalf. Our expert structuring eliminates the risk of double contributions, protecting your income, preserving your wealth & securing your long-term pension entitlements.
The Compliance Chaos
Managing a borderless life creates a chaotic web of global compliance risks. A single missed filing, a day-count miscalculation, or a PE risk oversight can trigger audits, penalties & intense scrutiny from multiple tax authorities at once.
We transform this chaos into a clear, manageable framework. PBL Law Group designs & implements a single, unified compliance strategy that centralises your global reporting & risk management, delivering total peace of mind.

FAQs for Mobility Tax & Compliance
What is tax residency?
Tax residency is the status that gives a country the right to tax your worldwide income. It is determined not by citizenship, but by factors like your physical presence (day-count) & personal connections.
What is a "day-count rule"?
This is the rule used by most countries to determine tax residency based on the number of days you are physically present in their territory. Exceeding this limit, typically 183 days, can automatically make you a tax resident.
Can I be a tax resident in multiple countries?
Yes. It is possible to be considered a tax resident in two or more countries simultaneously under their domestic laws. This creates a high risk of double taxation on your entire global income.
What is Permanent Establishment (PE) risk?
PE risk is the risk that your activities in a foreign country (e.g., working from a home office) could make your company liable for local corporate taxes. It is a major, often unforeseen, risk for global entrepreneurs & their businesses.
How does a tax treaty help avoid double taxation?
A tax treaty is an agreement between two countries that provides “tie-breaker” rules to determine a single country of tax residence. It also sets rules to prevent the same income being taxed twice.
What are the consequences of accidental tax residency?
The primary consequence is that your entire worldwide income & assets can become subject to the tax system of that country. This can lead to catastrophic, unforeseen tax liabilities & penalties.
What is a social security agreement?
This is a treaty between countries that coordinates social security coverage & contributions for individuals who have lived or worked in both nations. It is designed to prevent double contributions on the same income.
Can I be forced to pay social security twice?
Yes. If you work in a country that does not have a social security agreement with your home country, you may be legally required to contribute to both systems simultaneously.
How do you manage PE risk for a global business?
PE risk is managed by carefully structuring an executive’s activities & contractual authority when they are working abroad. This requires a formal policy & clear protocols to avoid creating a taxable presence.
Does my physical location matter if my company is overseas?
Absolutely. Tax authorities are increasingly focused on where an individual physically performs their work. Your physical location can trigger personal tax residency for you & PE risk for your company.
What is a global mobility compliance framework?
It is a bespoke set of rules, protocols & tracking systems for a family or business. It is designed to proactively manage tax residency, PE risk & other compliance issues that arise from a borderless life.
How do I track my travel days accurately?
Accurate tracking requires meticulous record-keeping of all travel days, including arrival & departure days, which often count as full days. Professional firms like PBL Law Group use specialised software to manage this for clients.
What's the difference between domicile & tax residency?
Tax residency determines where you pay income tax each year & can change frequently. Domicile is your legal “homeland” & primarily affects inheritance & estate taxes; it is much harder to change.
What is a "tie-breaker" rule?
When you are a tax resident of two countries, the “tie-breaker” rules in the relevant tax treaty are a series of tests (e.g., permanent home, centre of vital interests) used to assign residency to a single country.
When should I seek advice on mobility tax?
You should seek advice before you begin a globally mobile life or make a significant international move. A proactive strategy is the only way to prevent costly, unforeseen tax problems.
