>But majority of companies use deel, remote.com and so many mediators to hire remotely.
They do take a seizable cut though. After taxes on top you're not left with much than just working for a local company that doesn't have 200 applicants for one position and a crazy interview process.
>B2b in other eu countries has way less taxes than being employee.
Yeah, emphasis on "other countries", but I don't live in one of those "other countries" so it doesn't help me.
Remote work isn't a wild west level playing filed for everyone like HN thinks. You're still tied to the tax rules of your country of residence. If those are brutal in your country then you're at a disadvantage compared to the candidates in low CoL, low tax countries. If you live in a country with low tax, low CoL where you can play fast and loose with the tax authorities, then you're in the perfect place to be a remote candidate.
