Sound familiar?

Cross-border work is booming. Clear guidance isn't.

😰

"Am I going to get double-taxed?"

You're earning in USD but living abroad. Nobody can give you a straight answer on what you owe β€” and to whom.

πŸ’Έ

"Consultants want $500/hr"

International tax advisors are expensive. You just need the basics β€” not a $3,000 engagement.

🀯

"Every country is different"

Tax treaties, permanent establishment rules, VAT requirements β€” the rules change depending on where you are.

⏰

"I just want to work legally"

You're not trying to evade anything. You just need a clear checklist of what to do to stay compliant.

β€œWhy can't I just…”

We get asked this a lot. Here's the honest answer.

πŸ€–

β€œWhy not just ask ChatGPT?”

ChatGPT is a general-purpose chatbot. It doesn't have a structured framework for cross-border tax analysis. Ask it about the Nigeria–US tax treaty and you'll get a vague summary that may be outdated or wrong.

βœ— No structured country-pair analysis
βœ— No double taxation prevention strategy
βœ— Can't compare tax burden across structures
βœ— No compliance checklists or tax calendars
βœ— No confidence ratings β€” often confidently wrong
βœ— No invoice requirements or filing deadlines
WorkGlobal is purpose-built for exactly one thing: analyzing cross-border work arrangements. Every question, every output, every checklist is designed around the specific complexities of earning across borders.

β€œWhy not hire a local tax advisor?”

You probably should β€” eventually. But most local accountants only know their country's tax code. Cross-border work requires understanding both countries, the treaty between them, and how they interact.

βœ— $300–$500/hr for international tax specialists
βœ— Most local accountants don't know foreign tax codes
βœ— 1–4 week wait for an initial consultation
βœ— Hard to find advisors for less common corridors
βœ— You don't know what questions to ask going in
βœ— Language barriers with foreign tax authorities
Use WorkGlobal first, then hire a pro. Walk into your consultation already understanding your obligations, the relevant treaty, and the right questions to ask. Your advisor will thank you β€” and you'll save hundreds in billable hours.
