We offer a standard handling of contractor agreements, in which our database knows exactly what the regulation for each country is, and what the corresponding gross up has to be in order for the contractor to net the desired income. We assist contractors in their tax residence, to optimize their payouts to government, while keeping everything 100% compliant so the company is not as risk. Whenever regulations get too complex for independent contractos in a country, we offer plug and play, which is an outsourcing of the contractor, and Ontop hires them.

Would just be careful, if the client is still the economic employer that's still a PE trigger, under countries that follow OECD model anyways. Idk I just have some concerns with these models like Remote, Deel, Skuad, Papaya Global, Oyster, etc., in that technically they're likely exposing many of their clients to PE risk w/o the client knowing... if you're sourcing value from country X, incl employment (direct or indirect), country X is going to want you to pay the equiv corp tax, generally speaking.

You are 100% right. We have agreements with local governments and help them out to ensure contractor taxes are up do date always and everything is done legally.

Sorry, I won't belabour the point further, but I guess the point is the client's corporate tax exposure in the country would have to be assessed client-by-client how using employee/contractor. At any rate thanks for responding and best of luck here.
