I have a question about paying a company based in Brazil and would appreciate the input from all.
Thank you
The question that I have is:
X is a Brazilian company that has developed an equipment to be used in shipyards. (this company does not have a presence in the United States), they would export this equipment from Brazil into the US.
Y is an American company that will be the representative for x in the United States.
Z would be clients in the United States that would use this equipment,
the monthly lease is 100,000 (one hundred thousand dollar).
The price of this equipment is 28,000
Y company would import the equipment into the United States and place at various businesses thru out the US.
The agreement between the American based company (y) and the Brazilian company (x) would be:
Y would collect the 100,000 from Z and remit to X in Brazil their portion of 85,000
Y would keep 15,000 commission.
The question that the Brazilian company would like answered is: would that 85,000 be taxed by the United States government? If yes, what rate would it be?
Thank you
