Can't you start a company in the EU and get hired as a contractor to circumvent this? That's the way to go for BR developers. You even get some cool tax breaks

That's the way to go for BR developers. You even get some cool tax breaks for exporting services.
- cube2222 4y agoYes, that's the way you do it, at least in Poland. You start a sole proprietorship and then just invoice your US-based client monthly. It's very simple for both sides.
- fruit2020 4y agoDo you have to do anything special with regards to vat? You’re selling services to a US company. Just asking
- gingerlime 4y agoNo problem at all. US company pays zero VAT. Any accountant can help with billing and tax reporting specifics.
- fruit2020 4y agoI was asking because last year I billed a few times from NL a company registered in Florida. My accountant thought for some reason that I had to inform tax authorities over there. But he didn’t have experience with it.
- izacus 4y agoUS is not part of VAT system so nothing applies there.
- sarchertech 4y agoIt’s simple for now because no one is looking at it. But it will cause a world of problems for employers who are treating contractors as de facto employees when and if someone does start looking.
- cosmodisk 4y agoWithin a country - yes, if those kind of laws exist( e.g. IR35 in the UK). Between countries - very very unlikely.
