US contractor - US based - EU Client

[Spoiler]

Asking for a friend Totally UK unrelated but I’m sure the learned community has the knowledge.

Got a friend, US citizen, lives in the US, but has an opportunity to contract for an EU-based client (fully remote) - any ideas on options for engaging?
Do US contractors have similar Ltd companies, or go through a US-based payroll firm, or an EU-based payroll firm dealing with US personnel?
Any recommendations?

Ta !

Point of order - we are not in the EU. Also the EU is not one place as far as engagement is concerned (and taxation and, although I suspect the US rules will apply), they all have their own ideas.

That said, there are people on here who are and may have a better idea

Have you asked on ContractorUSA.com?
Has the made up friend asked their accountant?

Don't even think Sue B can help with this one even if she does turn up

Going well so far I see

The questions to consider:
1. How does the EU client want to pay him
2. What sort of invoices can he raise? (currency, taxes, etc)
3. Does the EU client have any US presence that could be used to put the contract through?
4. Which country in the EU is the client in?

I would expect his side of things will be taxed in the US. For everything else, he'd need to engage with someone who has all the details and understands how to work it.

1. Pay in euro (so into a Wise account and then exchange as and when i would think)
2. Probably the agency will do self billing (have found an agency on the client’s PSL that works with US resources)
3. Yep, they have a US based entity but the contract will likely go through the EU entity
4. Belgium

Oh, and it’s a her, not him.
I would expect taxes to remain US based. Thanks
