Ernst & Young (EY) is a global consortium of firms offering advisory, taxation, and audit services across all industries and countries. The People Advisory Services (PAS) team within EY specialized in advising their clients on all people-related systems and processes, including global mobility compensation and taxation. Amarpal Singh Chadha’s challenge, as the partner at EY PAS, lay in suggesting the most economical, compliant, and appropriate global compensation structure that adhered to the client’s specified budget requirements. Part (A) of the case challenges the students to present the best possible options that address the employees’ needs and meet the host countries’ processes and compliances. Part (B) of the case introduces taxation complexities that individuals may experience during expatriate and mobility assignments.
