Call for Working Group on Taxation of Mobility Allowances
Hello All,
After many discussions which we had about taxation of mobility allowances, I am happy to inform you on two positive developments:
-
The policy paper on Support to Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSC) Fellows in Matters Related to the Taxation of Mobility Allowances was presented to the Policy on Successful Researchers Working Group three weeks ago.
I presented this policy in order to open the door for solutions. It identifies several steps on how to approach this complex matter in the initial phase, which ultimately should lead to the improvement of the situation. It includes identification and promotion of good practice and legal solutions, but also cooperation with relevant stakeholders in organised way, establishing of dedicated working group and cooperation with chapters.
-
The Working Group on Taxation of Mobility Allowances is to be established soon to work on relevant matters and make progress for the benefit of our members. This means that some funding will be also available to support the efforts. You can find below the link to the call: https://www.mariecuriealumni.eu/working-groups-call
As I remember that we had live discussion on this matter, I do hope that there will be many members interested to work on the establishment of this group. Do not be shy to express your interest and join the efforts! We provided initial support and now is your turn to cooperate and work toward success!
Best wishes,
Snezana

Dear Snezana,
I read all the comments in this particular group, and as I am just starting my MC OF, with a taxed mobility allowance, I am wondering what can be done about it and how to address other financial matters.
I would really appreciate to be updated on the latest news and any other support.
I look forward to hearing...
Thanks, Bernadette
Dear Bernadette,
First of all, welcome to the MCAA! I was delighted to see that new members are interested in active participation in the MCAA work.
Indeed, the topic related to the taxation of mobility allowances has aroused great attention of our members and it has been many times discussed in this group. In order to better support our members to clarify situation about taxation in different countries we also provided opportunity to create a working group. Unfortunately, despite considerable interest we did not receive any application. As I could understand, nobody could commit to chair the working group due to professional obligations.
Anyway, if you have any specific question, comment or useful info you can always post it in this forum and I hope that somebody of our members will be able to help. You can also read previous communication, I beleive that you will find useful insights. As far as I remember, we have also had comments related to the U.S. taxation.
All the best,
Snezana
Dear Snezana,
Thank you very much for your mail.
Yes, some of the comments are very interesting and indeed relevant.
Ok, I will post comments when I have information that may be useful to other members as well.
Have a good summer holiday.
Catch up in the fall sometime.
Kind regards,
Bernadette
Dear Snezana,

I will be happy to help. :-)
