Canadian consultant (corp) remote work for USA

Post Thu Dec 08, 2011 4:09 pm

Hi,

I am self employed and own a Canadian corporation and live in Ontario Canada. I am IT consultant and been offered a job by a recuriter for his client in USA. I will be doing all the work from my home here in canada but will have to vist the client in Connecticut USA.

Three questions:

1) When i Inovice the recuriter, and they pay US corp to cdn corp, are there taxes need to be deducted before i get payed.

2) Is it possible for US corporation to pay my corporation US account in canada via wire transfer or I need to open a US account in USA?

3) Do i need a TN visa to vist the client in USA for 1 week?
if NO then what do i say at the US Border.

Thanks for your help.

1. you will be taxed in canada only.
2. They can pay you in canada
3. Depends what activities you will do in US. Meetings don't require TN, nor does work in furtheance of existing IT/engineering deliverables/products that YOU sold.
