If this is your first time living abroad and you’re getting excited about the opportunity of relocating to London, you’ll want to make sure that your employer provides the best possible expat relocation package. Here are some important questions you should ask your employer.
Will the salary you’re offering as part of my relocation package cover the cost of living in London?
Will you be able to help me with the cost of relocating to London? Do I get a house-hunting trip to the UK ahead of time with my partner/family to look for a home prior to starting the job? Are you expecting me to stay in a hotel or corporate housing until we choose a home?
Will you pay for my visas and handle the submission and paperwork, or will I be expected to do this myself? Are you going to submit the paperwork on behalf of my spouse/partner?
If I have to keep items in storage, will you cover those costs? Do you have a limit on the amount you’re prepared to pay to ship my furniture and personal belongings to the UK? Will you pay all moving costs or just the Transatlantic cost of moving? Am I eligible for a repatriation bonus to help me get settled?
Do you have a transport allowance/scheme? (You’re going to want to ask this question! This could have a big impact on where you are able to live and how long it takes to get to work each day.)
Do you have a good package to handle taxes of Americans moving to London? Can you recommend a good international tax attorney to handle the issue of double taxation?
