> 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.
I appreciate your feedback a lot. It's challenging comments like these that make us grow. Will study the topic more and find a better solution. :). Thank you very much.
