    I see most of the US jobs ask us to be either in the US or have the rights to work in.
    How to find companies that really are 100% remote and doesn't ask this??

      Because she is a person looking for a job she is a company that sells a service e.g. 40 hours of work a week and mostly companies pay an all in fee for that service, but not in this case but they normally do.

    Thats very rare imo. US companies do hire ppl from low wage contries to save money. You have to have some really rare skills to get paid like in the US or even get a remote job there.

      My thoughts exactly. Companies are outsourcing to save money. Even in the UD they have different payscale for high cost areas (SF, NY etc) and low cost (Idaho, Montana etc.)

    • @vaishx
      @vaishx 6 месяцев назад +1

      I agree with the remote part being tricky but they’ll only outsource if the company has a branch in the low wage countries. Otherwise they will pay you in USD but that can be tricky too since the company will also have to pay foreign taxes for you

    Thank you so much for the video!! Glad to hear that you live in Spain. I am dealing with a similar possibility of being hired as a contractor for a US company and I live in Spain. I have two questions that I hope you can help me with... 1) Are you an "autónoma" in Spain? Like, authorized as an independent worker by the Agencia Tributaria? And 2) When you say that you send the company an invoice, do you use the Spanish system to do it? Is it like a formal document from your autónoma system, or is it just like a self-made invoice?
    Thank you SO much!

    Hi Charlie! Great video. Regarding taxes - were there any forms you had to send the US company declaring you're not a US resident (like a W8BEN?). Also did your accountant/s verify you don't need to pay US Federal or State tax?
    I'm in a crazy situation of being from NZ too with a recent US contract to a tech company. But after engaging an international accountant for tax advice I'm being told I DO need to pay US taxes 😬😬😬

    • @charlimarieTV
      @charlimarieTV  Год назад +2

      Yep! Any time I do work for a US client I need to send a W8BEN form. I'm not a tax resident of the US nor is any of the work I do taking place in the US so I definitely do not need to pay taxes in the US. I'm not sure why your international accountant told you you did, but obviously I can't provide you financial advice personally as I don't know your situation and am not qualified. Best to trust the professionals! (but maybe get a second opinion... I've never heard of anyone not from/in the US having to pay US taxes cos they work remote)

      I saw an ad and they said there that wage can differ when you are not from US. I believe they need to offer competetive wage for US applicants, but not for international one. So I'd say it'd be little less than US person would be offered.

      Likely you would pay similarly as you would from the standpoint of an independent contractor such as filing a 1099. But you may have to file other forms (not entirely sure what those are at the moment) such as to declare those wages not being of US origin. You might be able to find something on IRS.gov by searching for "foreign earned income" or something else.
      But also as the lady said, it's always best to talk to a tax professional (even though no one wants to pay one 😅).

I am a desperate little public school teacher looking to pivot (through Google certifications and self education) into Data analysis and/or project management but I have no business/finance/cs-IT degree. I get such discouraging feedback and lately I'm really struggling emotionally because every idea that I get I seem to stumble upon obstacles that I can't surpass, like "who in their mind is going to sponsor a visa for me" or "who would be willing to hire internationally" and how am I going to handles laws and taxes...

      That is true for federal unemployment as well as some local state unemployment taxes. But those taxes are very small. Most of the taxes that are paid just come from the employees wages themselves. Employers in the US pay the majority of employees taxes but with the funds that are withheld from the employees wages.

      Audience: Foreign National Employees
      What is a 1042-S?
      A non-citizen is, in most cases, subject to U.S. tax on income from U.S. sources. Form 1042-S, Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding, is used to report amounts paid to foreign persons (including those presumed to be foreign) by a United States based institution or business. This applies to non-resident aliens, foreign partnerships, foreign corporations, foreign estates, and foreign trusts that are subject to income tax withholding.
      How do I get a copy of my 1042-S?
      Your 1042S is available through the Foreign National Information System (FNIS). If you received a 1042S, you will be notified in early March via email with login instructions.
      What do I need to do if I receive a 1042-S?
      Any Foreign National who received a W-2 and/or a 1042-S is required to file a Federal and State tax return (regardless of any Tax Treaties). International employees may receive a 1042S instead of/in addition to a W-2.
