What is subcontractor?

A third-party company or individual hired by a primary contractor to perform specific tasks or services as part of a larger project. They provide specialized work that the main contractor cannot handle in-house or chooses to outsource. Since subcontractors aren’t employees, they are responsible for their own taxes and expenses.
