This is general information from official sources, not tax or legal advice. It summarises published rules as at November 2026, simplified to the main tests and thresholds; points that could not be confirmed on an official source are flagged. Rules change and apply differently to individual circumstances: confirm your position with the tax authority and your own adviser before you rely on it.

The salary is agreed directly between the family and the clinician; each clinician should take advice from their own tax adviser on whether the income is taxable in their circumstances.

Medical Staff Talent introduces and verifies clinicians. The engagement is contracted directly between the family and the clinician, and all local arrangements (visa, licensed entity, coordination with local clinics) remain with the family’s own office and advisers. Medical Staff Talent is not the employer, does not run payroll and does not give tax advice.
