I am trying to find jobs in Europe (preferably remote) that are open to hiring Americans. I know many companies seek residents and citizens of Europe first, but I know there has to be some companies that are open to seek Americans as well. With horror show going on in the US, I hope there are some European companies that are open to hiring Americans trying to escape it. For context, I am looking for jobs that deal with any of these sectors: customer support, privacy, IT&tech, and arts&humanities. If anyone knows of any companies or job portals that can help Americans find jobs in Europe, that would be greatly appreciated!
Very unlikely. The administrative tasks around tax and social insurance are extremely difficult to do for American companies in America (just imagine learning the neccessary “legalese” in a foreign language), and they take a good share of the salary, which comes as a surprise to most. But if you try to “simply” ignore it all, you become several kinds of criminal.
Americans have to file taxes with the IRS regardless of who is paying them and where the company is based. There are tax breaks available (on taxes owed to the US) if you are living and paying taxes in europe to avoid double taxation for the most part. It makes the paperwork a little more tricky but it’s still done frequently and isn’t “very unlikely.” The most difficult part isn’t your american taxes it’s making sure you’re paying taxes correctly in your new country. It will make it easier if you work for a multinational company (like Schneider Electric USA, for example) where they already know the ins and outs of taxation in both countries, but I’ve known people to do this out of smaller companies as well.
Not the taxes. It is the mandatory health insurance, old age insurance, unemployment insurance etc. and I was saying that in case the employer is in America and has no clue about such duties.
Yes, for sure.
