which means you're a contractor, rather than an employee. I do think this is a better way tbh, as you can potentially own all of your healthcare costs, and optimize your taxes properly. And you can probably charge a lot more as a contractor, to make up for the lack of job security etc.
- CalRobert 4y agoI don't get a lot of tax optimisation (my home country makes it really hard to do anything useful) but I DO have a much easier time getting better-paid work from the US. Otherwise I'd need to go through something like oysterhr.com, boundlesshq, etc.
- jjeaff 4y agoIt might be a better idea for high income people. But it is often used to take advantage of regular employees. It is a poor reflection of our tax system that running your own entity that you then pay yourself out of can have lower taxes than simply earning money as an employee.
