If the client asks (answers in English to copy)
Do we need to withhold tax?
If you are a US company, I can fill in a W-8BEN form (not a W-9), as a foreign contractor. In the EU, for a business client, VAT on a service bought from outside the EU is generally declared by the client itself (reverse charge): your accountant can confirm.
Is it legal to pay someone in Algeria?
Yes. I am a registered auto-entrepreneur, I invoice in my own name, and my bank receives the payment into a business foreign currency account designed for service export earnings.
How long does the transfer take?
Usually a few working days. My bank may ask for the invoice when the payment arrives, so please include the invoice number in the reference.
Can you take Wise, Revolut or crypto?
No. Wise and Revolut are not open to residents of Algeria, and crypto is banned in Algeria. A SWIFT transfer to my bank account is the simplest option.
