FAQ

Withholding tax on payments to non-resident contractors The default rate is currently 15%. Higher rates are used if the form is not complete. These are called 'no-notification' rates. You will need an IRD number unless you have full tax relief under a treaty between New Zealand and your country of tax residence.

Non-resident withholding tax is imposed on every person who derives non-resident withholding income such as interest and dividends. NRWT is generally a final tax on such income. Non-resident withholding tax is imposed on interest at 15 percent, and dividends at 30 percent or 0 percent if fully imputed.

Without this form, you must withhold 30% of your payments to foreign contractors for taxes. IRS Form W-8BEN-E is similar but is for foreign businesses rather than individuals. For example, if you work with a foreign contractor who has formed a business entity, they may need to file W-8BEN-E instead of W-8BEN.

Form 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC: If your business pays a foreign contractor with a temporary TIN (ITIN) $600 or more for services provided within the United States, then you can file Form 1099-NEC or Form 1099-MISC to report these payments to the IRS.

Under US domestic tax laws, a foreign person generally is subject to 30% US tax on the gross amount of certain US-source income.

Form 1099 is used to report payments made to an independent contractor. Expat business owners may need to file Form 1099 when working with contractors abroad. Failing to file Form 1099 as required could result in penalties.

In most cases, a foreign national is subject to federal withholding tax on U.S. source income at a standard flat rate of 30%. A reduced rate, including exemption, may apply if there is a tax treaty between the foreign national's country of residence and the United States.
