Question International Client Issues
A potential client was referred to me and wants to talk about retaining my services. The only problem is, I am located in the US and this client is located in Canada. Can anyone explain to me how payment, taxes, etc. would be impacted by contracting with someone outside of the country? Are there any other issues? Thanks!

Darlene,

My clients from Canada use PayPal to make their invoice payment. Paypal takes care of the conversion rate and as for takes I account for them the same as I would any other client.

Thanks, Lee! I was wondering if Paypal would work that way. That definitely makes things much easier.
