When cross-border workers move to another country, both countries may claim the right to tax their income, risking double taxation. Agreements like the one between France and Spain aim to avoid this, but different tax and social protection laws complicate matters. This affects workers' benefits and increases their tax burden, especially if they live farther than the 20 km limit from the border. 

The Euroregion Pyrenees Mediterranean faced these challenges, impacting its ability to attract and employ cross-border workers effectively.

To address this issue, the Euroregion took part in the b-solutions project, receiving guidance from an expert that analysed the obstacle and suggested potential solutions.
