Claiming deductions for business expenses working as an independent contractor for a foreign company

  Written by Marc   Posted 19 November 2014

I work as an independent contractor for a company based in San Francisco, USA from my home office in Cape Town. Each month I invoice them for the number of hours worked and they pay in USD and I handle the forex to convert that to Rands.
