Alright, I plan on asking my accountant in a bit- But I figured you guys might know as well. I'm planning on hiring a few employees (website work/graphic design)- And I've found a perfect candidate...only problem is, she resides in the UK. I'm not sure on the tax laws in the UK- She says she doesn't know what the W4/10-99 is, etc. I know there are "VATS" overseas there, but forgive me- I'm very new to this...so I'm not exactly sure! Rather than doing the individual contractor thing- I want to bring her aboard onto payroll for part-time employment. I'm not exactly sure what she and I would need. If you have any info, please let me know. Thanks so much in advance.
Contractor is definitely the best way to go. In terms of taxation, it means you pay nothing to the UK - she pays tax as she would otherwise at home. Honestly, this is by far the best way to go.
