- US companies can hire international workers legally.
- In general, you are required to have established a Legal Entity in the workers' country of residence in order to DIRECTLY HIRE EMPLOYEES.
- You still have the option to hire INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
- A U.S. business payor making a compensation payment to a non-U.S. independent contractor must withhold an amount sufficient to ensure that at least 30% of the amount subsequently determined to be U.S.-source income is withheld.
- Self-employed U.S. citizens or residents are still subject to SE Tax Rules regardless of where they work !!!
- You may apply for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion as long as all the criteria for such are met.
- From ALL the above, we can see that it is VERY IPORTANT to first determine if a foreign person is considered or regarded as a US Citizen for tax purposes.
