IGTU // Interessenverband der grenzüberschreitend tätigen Unternehmen und deren Auftraggeber in Deutschland eV

The purpose of the association is to gratuitously represent the interests of cross-border entrepreneurs and companies, as well as of their employer in germany. International businesses are subject to special legal, tax and economic conditions and their knowledge base holds an unprecedented importance to prerequisites for economic success in the host country. The same goes for the customers, authorities and the courts of law from participating countries, of whom may face the challenge to complex international issues, especially in relation to employment and social security in the event of sending employees abroad on a work contract or temporary employment contract. For that reason, IGTU has set a goal to raise awareness for national and international businesses, that offer international recruitment services, specifically those that offer working contracts and temporary employment contracts in Germany. Whilst we are doing so, we consult the clients in administering the appropriate legal practices in Germany. These goals are translated into action by holding events in a form of a seminar or lecture, conferences, business conventions or specialist publications. This is implemented by producing methods of working in relation to legal matters and international business enterprises.

The IGTU acts as a first and unified point of contact for legal, tax, organizational and insurance issues and connects those seeking advice to authorities and experts for cross-border matters. Members are regularly infor- med by Newsletters, seminars, and publications about the latest legal, tax and economic developments as well as providing the opportunity to protect business from operational risks in the context of cross-border activities. The IGTU also has special ex- pertise in all issues concerning cross-border activities from businesses in countries, which are about to associate or are in the association phase with the European Union. The individual departments of the IGTU are led by ex- perts that have years of experiencing in consulting inter- national businesses in sectors such as, legal matters, Tax, recruitment services, management consulting, financial advice and the entire insurance industry for several years.

In practical terms, the IGTU offers a forum for domestic and foreign businesses with the opportunity to establish new contacts. Furthermore, the IGTU offers traditional associa- tion work. As a recognized professional association, IGTU directly pursues charitable purposes. In addi- tion to that, we are self-effacing and free from politi- cal, party-political and religious affiliations.
