When planning a program that requires MIT to send employees abroad, the program administrator should first consider the potential personal income tax impact to the MIT individual employee(s) and the incremental cost to the program.
MIT’s International People Placement (IPP) team provides guidance to departments, laboratories, and centers (DLCs) on matters related to employment abroad. Visit the Global Support Resources (GSR) site to learn more about the services provided.
The IPP team will need details about your employment plans in order to provide individualized assistance. If you plan to have MIT staff traveling abroad for more than 30 days in the same country, please complete the Intake Form for Hiring Internationally and Working Abroad, on the IPP section of the Global Support Resources (GSR) website as early as possible in your project planning.
Contact IPP for guidelines and an accompanying checklist covering compensation, benefits, and support for faculty, principal investigators, staff, and students on a long-term assignment outside the U.S. Depending on the assignment, it may be necessary to seek professional tax advice or financial services. While MIT cannot provide personal tax advice, see Tips for Choosing a Tax Preparer Abroad for help with this process.
