Hosting your employees and assuming the legal and employment obligations thereof

We offer host (EoR) services for foreign and local entities by employing staff on clients’ behalf, so they don’t have to immediately set up a branch or subsidiary in-country.

Our experienced local team of tax advisers, payroll and labour-law consultants will guide you through the complex process of cross-border mobility of employees and expats. These require deep knowledge of local and international legislation, and best practices in the areas of individual taxation, social security, payroll and labour law to comply with local statutory obligations.

Below is a health check for foreign companies operating in Ghana, to ascertain if they need our help:

• Is your company fully compliant with statutory requirements (tax filing) relative to your expat and local employees?
• Is your set-up free from potential violations?
• Is your set up free from a Permanent Establishment (PE) - local presence - risk?

If you answer “no” to any of the above questions then as an employer you bear liability for incorrect evaluation of the tax residency, place of work, time and conditions of work of expatriate employees.
