What we do

Contractor Taxation was setup in 2008 by Duncan Macintosh and Tim Burgess. Contractor Taxation assists individuals, recruiters and employers with international assignments by providing work permits, business visas and payment solutions in almost every country in the world. Some background to us:

Duncan has over 10 years of experience in contractor management in Australia and the UK as an account manager and business owner. He has also worked as a contractor in London, Korea, Switzerland, Portugal and Australia.

Tim has been involved with contractors - predominantly IT contractors - for his entire career. This includes stints as an IT recruiter, sales for an IT consultancy and teaming with Duncan in running a UK based contractor umbrella company for most of the 2000's.

What we stand for:

1. We believe that working internationally is a rewarding and overwhelmingly positive experience for both the employee and the employer.
2. We believe that contractors are an essential and valuable component to a mature employment market.
3. We believe that employers who need specialist skills for time-critical projects should be able to use expert contractors from overseas.
4. We believe that governments should be actively encouraging skilled expatriate workers into their labour markets.

www.contractortaxation.com provides information and services to international contract staff through our website and network of worldwide partners. We have existing relationships with companies all over the world who provide fully compliant employment, taxation and immigration solutions. We assist individual contractors, recruiters, HR professionals, global mobility providers and employers in choosing the right supplier for their circumstances.
