Hi,

I have a S Corp and I am the only employee. I am planning to
expand my business in India. Thinking of hiring a conultant
in India who will do a business study. My questions are:

1. Can I pay the consultant in USD? Any limits on how much
can be paid?

2. What will be the US tax liability for paying this
overseas consultant?

Thank You

Yes. How much can you afford?

None for paying him; the payment to him might be deductible,
or amortizable, or not.
