No. IAC Studio is an international service provider. As such, your company is not required to withhold or manage taxes. You simply pay the agreed fee, and we handle our tax obligations locally. For compliance, you may request a W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E form, which confirms that no U.S. tax withholding applies. The form is kept on file and not submitted to the IRS.
If your company has specific compliance needs, we’re happy to adapt.
