Get tax and filing support

Deel's Tax Advice Marketplace is a valuable resource designed exclusively for independent contractors seeking professional tax guidance. You can access support whether you’re dealing with international or local clients.

Contractors can easily access the Tax Advice tab on their home page within the Deel platform to connect with a qualified tax advisor in their country of residence. It's a straightforward process that provides personalized assistance tailored to your specific needs.

Without this expertise, navigating diverse tax laws can consume a lot of your working hours. You end up handling withholding tax, leveraging tax treaties, maintaining meticulous records, and managing currency exchange instead of focusing on your clients. This makes you more likely to make a mistake, leading to compliance issues or client disputes.

How to use Deel’s Tax Advice Marketplace

Residents of the following countries can find the Tax Advice Marketplace on their dashboard:

Argentina
Canada
Colombia
Germany
Italy
Mexico
Philippines
United Kingdom

Each tax advisor in the marketplace is thoroughly vetted. To be considered qualified, advisors must meet specific criteria:

Signed Platform Services Agreement with Deel
Certificate of Incorporation, Ownership Information, and proof of company registration (for legal entities)
Completion of the Know Your Customer (KYC) process on the Deel platform
Certificate of Good Standing from the supervisory authority
Relevant qualifications enabling them to provide tax advice in their country of residence
Insurance Certificate

Deel also offers a Tax Feature for those with US-based contracts. This feature allows contractors and client companies to easily generate and manage tax forms (and in some cases, help with tax filing).

When creating a contract, Deel collects the required information to generate the necessary IRS forms, such as Form W9 for US citizens, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E for non-US contractors working under a US entity, and 1099s for tracking non-employee compensation.
