Eures Cross Border Tax Breakfast

Our colleagues in Londonderry Chamber of Commerce in partnership with EURES Cross Border Partnership and Letterkenny Chamber will host a breakfast seminar on tax and social security implications for cross-border workers and employers.

This seminar serves as an introduction to the free services offered by EURES to help establish and strengthen networks between EURES advisers and employers.

This seminar will also provide cross border workers and employers with information on social security and tax issues such as redundancy payments, pension lump sums, tax relief on pension contributions, tax requirements for cross border workers, social insurance benefits and pensions in a cross-border situation.

EURES Objectives and Approach

To offer through EURES and partner organisations, client services to actual and potential frontier workers by providing information and advice on job vacancies and job applications as well as on living and working conditions and other relevant information related to the labour market in the cross-border region, such as security, taxation and labour law.

To provide information and advice to employers on recruiting workers from bordering member states, on how to tap on the potential skills pool in the cross-border region, on how to draft and advertise job vacancies and job applications for the cross-border labour market and on how to develop a welcoming culture and integration policy for workers from the cross-border region.

This free event is open to all cross border workers and employers.
