MC fellowhip: mobility allowance and other financial matters

by Bernadette Montanari

Dear members,

I was wondering if anyone has had experience relating to financial matters in the MC Outgoing Fellowship.  I would like to know if the mobility allowance is subject to tax, or if it should be paid completely as a separate non-taxable allowance.

Also, how does one ensure that the beneficiary pays the right amount of salary without unexplained deduction and on time? What can the researcher do to address financial matters? 

I look forward to reading your comments, thank you.

Dear Bernadette,

This topic has already been discussed in the "Salary, Taxes, Pension, Benefits and Reimbursements" group, for example here:

and here:

To resume, according to European Commision the Mobility Allowance shall not be taxed:

but than it really depends, not only on the tax law of every single Country, but sometimes it's different for Universities within the same Country.

 

Best wishes,

Stefano
