Small business paying a Canadian non-resident freelance consultant who lives abroad (in the UAE)
How would a small Canadian business pay a freelance consultant who lives abroad, more specially a freelance consultant who works in the United Arab Emirates?
Would there be any tax obligations on the small Canadian business? Any sort of withholdings? Could this small Canadian business simply wire payments to the freelance consultant through Interac E-transfers?
The freelance consultant is a current full-time employee of the small Canadian business, and is a Canadian citizen, but is moving to the UAE and declaring non-residency as the employee's spouse is moving as well.
Thoughts and comments are much appreciated!
Thanks.
