“Dad…when are we going to start paying taxes on this?”
My son is super intense.
He’s been running businesses since he was 11.
Some made money, some didn’t.
But the one he has stuck with the longest did about $300k in sales this past year (he just turned 18).
A couple years ago he wrote up a contract between him and his customers.
He makes them sign it.
And he has always wanted to pay taxes!
Weird…I know.
What he didn’t know was that I was running all his revenue through a business of mine so I was paying the taxes. This year, it’s going to be on him. Then we’ll see how anxious he is to pay taxes.
So what about with your online Filipino specialists?
Do you need to pay taxes?
What about using a contract?
Are they considered an “employee”?
The short answers are
No.
I don’t.
No.
