We are a nonprofit looking to hire someone (who will be autonomous, but will give work to other employees who are based in the US and in some ways will essentially act as our Executive Director) who is going to do all their work outside of the US. My question:
If we hire them as a independent contractor, do we/they need to pay any US taxes (and which ones)?
If it's an employee, but an employee who is exclusively working overseas, do we/they need to pay any US taxes (and which ones)?
I am also wondering whether there is any distinction b/w hiring as a contractor vs employee in the overseas setting that concerns the US from an employment law perspective.. but that might be outside the ambit of this conversation.
All help greatly appreciated!
