Talking taxes and legal compliance in remote work is hard, but CRITICAL. That’s why Nadia Harris joins Andrew this week to share red-hot, easy tax tips that you can use right now! 10/10 must watch.
Hey, Welcome Back!
Ever been hit with a tax penalty so big it makes you rethink your life choices?
That’s pretty much every remote worker’s worst nightmare.
You trust some sketchy legal advice, or worse – try to DIY your way through the legal maze and BAM, disaster strikes. Employment classification, cross-border taxes, and legal compliance? Total mess.
Don’t panic! I’ve got remote legal pro Nadia Harris with me today.
Founder of Remote Work Advocate and a part-time digital nomad, Nadia’s on a mission to simplify legal chaos for global remote workers and companies. She’s been fighting the tax-and-law monster since before the pandemic and was just named one of Jobgether’s top 100 Future of Work Leaders.
Wow.
So why are we still battling tax rules that feel like they belong in a retirement home?
Nadia’s here to spill the tea on how to escape these pre-historic legal traps, and - lean in closer - she’s got a secret fix that might finally bring us into the 21st century.
Nadia’s lived all over the world and grew up surrounded by different cultures. In 2015, she got her big break in the U.S. with remote work, and it totally changed the game for her.
Now, she’s on a mission to help others score their own remote work success!
So…why is global law such a nightmare?
🏛️ Every country has its own set of rules (and none of them agree)
😱 Legal compliance is full of hidden traps
🤔 And let’s not forget authorities who give out the wrong info
It’s insanely complicated, and honestly, it takes a special kind of person to navigate it without losing their mind. Most people (and companies) don’t want to risk the tangled mess that follows.
The result? Everyone gets it wrong - companies, freelancers, independent contractors - you name it.
Don't even get me started on the personal tax drama for global remote workers!
If [you] are an independent contractor, in many countries, you take over the employer's costs and also the employee's costs. So [you] have to know the breakdown of all these costs.
Find a tax advisor, find an accountant up front who's going to tell you how much you will have to pay and how much stays in your pocket.”
