Why would the company paying be in tax hell? The recipient is the one who needs to pay income tax

I actually don't know the exact details, I don't work with finance but that's one of the problems we identified when looking into it.

I think it has do do with how bug bounties generally work. Since bug hunters aren't sending an invoice from a registered company you have to pay employer tax or similar. But as I mentioned, I'm not entirely sure since I don't work with that part. It might also differ depending on where the company is registered.
