Under the integration, Topia's Topia Compass offering gathers and analyzes 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 traveler 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.
