No, the $9,000 will be deducted as a business expense. If this was a US subcontractor you would be required to file a 1099 Misc for them.
However, since you are paying a foreign Subcontractor be sure you are properly reporting and withholding any taxes if necessary as there are special reporting requirements for that situation. You may want to contact a local tax professional to be sure you are properly handling the reporting
