Tax questions for a freelance writer living in a non-US country?
January 312010
My website is hosted in the US, and it basically tells about my freelance writing services. My clients come from various countries across the world. However, I do not live in the US. What are the tax implications? I am aware that I need to consult with my local tax bodies at home, but what taxes are due to the US if any?
If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident and work from a foreign country and do not get payment in bank account in the U.S., then your income is not taxable in the U.S.
Only hosting service does not make your income taxable in the U.S. However, if you your own servers in the U.S., then it may be taxable.

I don’t think you have a USA tax liability – but I’m just guessing.
