Invoicing a company in the USA

BrokenArrows · 2013-01-03 16:10:49

Ive been doing a bit of contracting in the UK/Ireland and alls fine. I did a once off job for someone in the USA and invoiced them. They paid me the amount invoiced less 30% I assume this is due to 30% withholding tax. Can i claim this back? If so how? Its not a massive amount so is it worth the hassle?

Most times a form W8 BEN, which you can find on the IRS website, will enable you to ask for any withholding tax back.
