Summary/Abstract: With teleworking becoming increasingly prevalent, new opportunities and new obstacles are arising, and tax, social security, and labour laws based on physical presence might need an update. To get an overview of the challenges and solutions for cross-border telework, this policy paper will examine how the EU should adapt to leverage the free movement of labour in a digitalising Single Market. Firstly, this article will dive into why remote work is still difficult. Secondly, it will explore why regulating telework is not yet a priority. Finally, the article will explore how tax law, social security coordination rules and labour law could be adjusted to the era of digital work.
