What are the tax reporting requirements for a US company hiring a consultant in Brazil?

Lisa L asked:


I have a very small US-based company. I need to hire a consultant in Brazil (similar to a 1099 US consultant), but have no idea how to find out if any tax withholding is required or if any official forms are to be completed. I asked my Accountant and she didn’t know. Can anyone share information that would help get me on the right track? Thanks!
