Ask HN: How to get invoices from un-registered freelancers?
Most freelancers I know are not registered in their country for various reasons (example they come from countries where the figure of &quot;freelancer&quot; isn&#x27;t even a legal thing yet). But our company needs legal invoices, which they cannot provide.<p>We&#x27;re currently using a freelancing platform simply for this problem, which means he&#x27;s losing 10% and I am paying an extra 5% just for this.<p>Any better solution?<p>Note: Paypal invoices don&#x27;t count. They can send a paypal invoice but that has zero legal value if he&#x27;s not a registered business entity (according to my accountant).
