BCD Travel has partnered with human resources technology
specialist Topia to automate immigration, tax and payroll compliance processes
for shared clients, the companies announced Tuesday. Through the partnership,
the service is available on BCD's SolutionSource marketplace platform.
Under the integration, Topia's Topia Compass offering
gathers and analyses pre-trip travel booking or other location data from BCD
and personnel records from multiple client enterprise systems, such as
accounting and payroll systems, to identify potential visa and immigration
considerations and where tax or other compliance liabilities could occur.
During the trip, Topia monitors traveller movement in real time to identify tax
exposure before it is created and to map the client's global travel footprint
for both health and safety reasons, as well as ongoing visa, immigration and
tax compliance, the company said.
After the trip, Topia calculates tax exposures,
multi-jurisdiction payroll withholdings and immigration or other compliance
requirements, then feeds them to relevant enterprise systems, such as payroll.
