Hello,
a. I hold an Indian Passport.
b. I have a residence + work permit for St. Maarten (netherlands Antilles)
c. A company in the US has hired me and I will be offering them Consultancy services & working as an agent outside the United States (in Netherlands Antilles)
d. I would be paying taxes on St. Maarten on the income I get.

The U.S. company says they will have to pay 15% tax as this is an off-shore transaction ??
Is this correct ?
I feel this company is misleading me. As I'm offering them my services and will be sending them a regular invoice - why should they or I pay taxes in the USA.
Can someone guide me.
Thanks and regards,
Tinku

Tinku:

If you are living and working in St. Maarten, NOT the U.S., you will owe ZERO U.S. taxes.

The company MAY have to pay a 15% tax, but how does that affect you??
