Hi Diane,
I read your question with interest. If it were me I would be looking at the financial implications of your proposed relocation for each country. This includes how your husband's company intends to remunerate him whilst you are away on assignment. The questions I would be asking include - will he still be paid his net salary as if he had not gone on assignment? - who is paying the tax on any benefits he might receive such as housing, schooling, and so on?

If you are going to be in any of those countries past 183 days (6 months) it is likely that a tax liability in that country will arise, if it hasn't already arisen. I note that the intended duration of the assignment will be up to six months. I would be watching very closely whether the days lapsed will go beyond six months because that complicates the situation dramatically in terms of tax liabilities in both your home country and the country of assignment.

Tax rates vary from country to country and this would be worth your while checking, in the event that your husband's company does not pick up the cost of any taxes that could arise in the country you choose.
