Yes, if you are a non-U.S. taxpayer, RecruitiFi requires you to complete a tax form. This form is necessary for confirming that you are not a U.S. taxpayer, which ensures that RecruitiFi is not required to withhold U.S. taxes from your earnings.
Here’s what you need to know:
Non-U.S. Agencies: Many of the agencies making placements through RecruitiFi are not U.S. entities and do not pay U.S. taxes. For this reason, RecruitiFi requires tax forms from all non-U.S. persons who are paid through the platform.
Tax Form Purpose: The primary purpose of the tax form is to certify that you are not subject to U.S. tax withholding. Once submitted, the form enables you to be paid through RecruitiFi.
What Happens After Submission of My Tax Form?:
No Withholding: RecruitiFi will not withhold any taxes from your earnings.
No Reporting: Your tax form is not used to report your income to any other parties.
No Paperwork: The tax form is submitted electronically, meaning no physical paperwork is required.
Tax Responsibility: RecruitiFi does not determine whether you owe taxes in your home country. The form is only for confirming non-U.S. tax status for the purpose of payment processing.
