Ask HN: US company paying contractor in Georgia (.ge)
We are a US LLC looking to pay a contractor in the country of Georgia and are trying to to determine whether we are supposed to withhold taxes on their earnings.<p>From what we have read, we should be able to get a W8-BEN filled out by the contractor to verify that they are not a US person and will not be doing any of the work in the US and that should be sufficient.<p>We have spoken to an accountant, but this seems to be a niche question. His advice was the above, but there were plenty of disclaimers around it. Has anyone had experience with this specifically? What have you done?
