Hello,
I work in India for a manpower/recruitment service provider.
It is a partnership firm.
We have been working with a US company(Corporation).
I am guessing we fall into the foreign vendor category.
We basically provide manpower to them. We handle the Asia pacific region for them.
We send them candidates who they interview and hire for their US office on H1B visas.
While the client is US based, we are an India based firm.
We have not stepped into the US till date on any sort of VISA.
My question is whether our service falls into "outside the US" or "inside the US" category.
I believe if the services are performed outside the US, there would be no 30% tax withholding.
It would be great if any of you could enlighten me on this.
Thanks,
Jaishree
PS. We have no US presence in terms of an office/establishment. We do not have any employees working in the US at client locations either. We are completely Indian.
