*C2C is basically the sub-contractor format of hire where a comp routes the hire thru' a consulting
company and a retainer or a certain amount of money, often called the "contracted amt”, is given
by the company to the consulting company.
*The consulting company would be paying its employee who works for the company, an amount
after deducting taxes, its rate of profit for the contract and any other legal charges. Essentially, the
employee is an employee of the consulting comp and he or she will get a W2 from the consulting
company.
(If the Taxes through one corporation to another corporation or If the Taxes varies
from one corporation to another corporation, we can call it as a C2C. Generally,
Employer Company will pay the taxes that means, the company who is holding
the visa of consultant will pay the taxes.)
