Hybrid Work Raises Tax Risk and Complexity
A SAP Concur blog notes that under hybrid work, employee purchases such as desks, monitors, and internet service are legitimate business expenses but may also be taxable employee benefits. 30% of business leaders told IDC that managing hybrid work is an organizational challenge, and 61% of business and IT decision-makers think VAT will significantly affect their tax management within two years. Remote and hybrid work and VAT span multiple locations and tax authorities, with rules changing regularly, creating compliance risks and lost funds. SAP Concur's Concur Tax Assurance and Concur Benefits Assurance services help identify eligible transactions and taxable benefits.
