Tell him to grow up and take responsibility for his actions. Surely he knew about the tax situation before the move (if not, he should have). Don't see why an employer should make up the difference. Every big life decision comes with pros and cons.
I now work in Sweden but kept a lot of UK clients. The day rate here is much higher due to taxes being higher, but that doesn't justify me raising my rates in the UK.

We had a guy who moved (to buy a home) quite a long way away from the area during the pandemic too. Given the nature of cross border working and the tax regulations around it, he has walked himself into all kinds of problems. We'd allow him to transfer to our local subsidiary but it'd mean higher taxes which he wants us to boost his salary to compensate for which seems unfair on the other staff.
