Frequently asked questions
Why is independent contractor status important?
Misclassifying employees as contractors can result in significant tax penalties. This agreement helps establish proper classification.
Who pays taxes for a contractor?
The contractor pays their own self-employment taxes. The hiring company issues a 1099 (US) and does not withhold payroll taxes.
