Hi All,
I'm hoping to move with my wife to Israel for a year at the end of December, but I just hit a roadblock.
I currently work remotely within the states for a company based in the Boston area. While spending time researching the potential legal issues that I would face working my American job from Israel, my company found the following:
Though I would not have my status as an employee, and would be working as an individual contractor, it seems that there may be foreign tax implications, and they would like to avoid that complication.
They have proposed that either I go for under 90 days, leave the job and come back in a year, or I don't go at all. I was under the assumption that as a non-resident I would be exempt...
I would love to hear if any others have experience working remotely from Israel for a US based company, and how they dealt with these issues. Off the top of my head, the best workaround would be to work for less than 90 and come back to the states, and then go again, but I've read that if you spend over 183 days in Israel during a tax year, you are considered a resident for tax purposes...
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
