Ask HN: How do international software engineering contracts work?

1 pointsby imheretolearnover 4 years ago
Hey HN, my previous employer(different country from where I currently reside) has offered me contract work for a few weeks. I was wondering if I will have to pay taxes in both countries? Am I required to disclose to my current full time employer about the additional work? Any other pitfalls I should be aware of?<p>Edit: In light of martell&#x27;s comment, this will be my previous company to me(individual) relationship. From the contract&#x27;s perspective, it will be from India to Canada. I was present in both countries in the same year. I am an Indian citizen and a Canadian Permanent Resident

Can&#x27;t say much without knowing the specifics such as, what are the 2 countries, and if this is company to company relationship or company to you individually relationship.<p>There are things to consider after knowing that such as the type of work, if there is a double taxation agreement between the countries, if it is to you individually were you resident in one or both countries during the year and which one.<p>Some countries also always expect you to pay tax regardless of presence - for example the US if you are a citizen or permanent resident which is a somewhat more complicated situation<p>For context I&#x27;ve dealt with some international situations between Ireland and the US in the past - but don&#x27;t take anything I say as legal advice because IANAL or tax expert
