I’m based out of a company in the US that was proactively working towards remote environment before the pandemic. One thing that struck me as odd was that even within the states I would be technically illegally evading taxes if I worked from Nevada for instance - for a month let’s say due to need in change of scenery. Even with a country I cannot technically and legally be remote.
The laws need to change here are the antiquated tax laws. I don’t understand how if I want to work from Florida for part of the year to avoid the winter is a tax / insurance liability for me or the company.
The last point really hit home for me. What if you have family abroad - either healthy or otherwise - and you want to spend more time with them. would these companies want be to take one month off or rather work?
I understand that people using this to move permanently is a an issue. But the people that have a permanent base but would like to occasionally work from elsewhere need a better framework and set of laws. The physical borders don’t make much sense in a digital world.
