How to decline sending a W9 to client?

I'm Canadian, but not a tax lawyer. When I've done consulting work in the past for an American company, it has been done B2B; invoices were sent from my (personal) company to their company. They then paid the invoices. There wasn't anything more complicated than that; I wasn't hired as an American employee or anything like that, software development was a service that they paid my company to do and I invoiced them for it.

At the end of the year, it was simply recorded as a sale and was taxed appropriately.

Right, that's pretty much the same as my process. Did you deal with a W9? or 1099 though? Probably not because you're incorporated right.. So they listed your business. In my case a sole-proprietorship they need my personal info. Makes sense.

Sole proprietorship here too, but I've registered a company name and do all business through that. The invoices I send have the company name on them, not my personal name.
