I'm pretty sure you cannot directly employ someone who lives in Britain in an American company. For starters it's illegal for you to employ anyone without a valid working license in the US, not to mention you can't withhold taxes for Britain. The solution is either for you to open a UK branch and pay them locally in Britain which is possible but might expose you to different regulation and is a PITA to say the least, or the better solution is to have THEM open a UK company, pay that company for their services, and let them worry about paying themselves salary. >From a legal standpoint, you are just paying a vendor which is of course deductible, and it's 100% legal in both countries. As far as actually sending the money... depending on amount the cheapest will probably be international wire transfers. -- Nitzan Kon http://www.future-nine.com/ http://www.comparevoipproviderrates.com/ _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
