Non-US Citizens Forming LLCs in Delaware
Hi
I live in Sweden, Europe and I'm currently offering webhosting services to (mostly) Americans. I'm interested in forming an LLC in Delaware but before I take any further action I'd like to have some stuff clarified. If anyone of you can answer any of these questions, I'd be very glad. 1. Do I have to pay the US federal tax? Or does my company has to have a non-US source income to qualify for this? 2. Do I have to pay any sales taxes? 3. Are there other taxes (I know of the franchise tax) that I will have to pay? I appreciate your help. Regards, David |

2> Sales tax is under review NOW in the US. The Gov wants sales taxes to be added " in perspective of fair competition".... At this time, I do not think you need to charge taxes except in the State where your corp is located ( ie: Delaware) 3 > Registree fee ( 125.00 a year). Yearly corp fee: $ 50.00 in Delaware. Need help with corp.

Be careful. It's a lot more complicated than it seems at first.

Just incorporated in delaware myself cost me a grip:
250.00 Lawyer Fee 450.00 State filing fees, and for company to act as my representive in delaware. 750.00 - I dont know how these people are doing it for 200.00 and stuff unless they have a delaware address.. your company has to have a delaware address. Plus I rather have a real lawyer do it than some joe smoe who does it by filling out some forms on an easy incorporate program for windows.... I want someone who knows how to protect my ass if I get sued and sets up everything right. One. Rpet |

I recommend your strongly considering NEVADA, to establish your US corporation. As a couple above mentioned, it is not as simple as it seems.
What is your primary objective? I will make the assumption, you are looking to either: A. Shield yourself from personal liability. B. Establish a legitimate and verifiable US business presence. C. Form a US business which would qualify you (Significant Investment) for a immigrant BUSINESS INVESTOR VISA . D. Ability to qualify for CC processing, as a US based company. Delaware is a good state to incorporate in, and yes, it has many positive perks. Nevada does seem to take corporate friendliness one step further, by allowing corporations to use "contract officers" and corporations are under no legal obligation to reveal the corporation shareholders (actual owners) to the state. As a foreign national, having "contract officers" who are US citizens can apply/sign off on your official registrations . Hit me up on ICQ and I will provide you with the law firm in Nevada who has done/does this type of work for me. |

But really, why don't you read ON THEIR SITE what they offer ... Bretter than coming from me. I research and compared and used them because I tought they were the best FOR ME. Maybe they are not for you. I am not looking anymore at this thread. GO on their site .... |
I don't know about LLC's, but S-corporations have citizenship requirements. You might want to check up on that for the LLC. I have a Delaware S-corporation myself.

All I know is Deleware and Nevada are the two best, easiest and least expensive ways to open companies...great tax breaks too!
Great thread...very usefull...good luck...keep on posting all! |

I'd say B and D are my primary objectives. But I'm still considering this as I've just spoken to the "swedish IRS" and according to them I'll be forced to pay "social fees/taxes" and income tax on top of the US federal tax. The swedish taxes are pretty steep, about 55% (!)... I'm still investigating. /David |
I can assist with incorporating in Delaware and Nevada. I have a number of shelf corporations as well so you could be ready to roll in minutes. Hit me up on ICQ.

Dont Use yambo
they are currently being investigated by the IRS and any accounts set up by them may get caught up in any federal action :2 cents: |

I wish you good luck. Nevada and Delaware are your best choices for a US presense. I have owned both DE and NV corporations. Nevada wins out. But, DE is better for foreign nationals. |

On the surface I would tend to are with you, if the only concern were the initial formation. however when you factor in "the big picture" and Dave's stated needs, Nevada becomes a winner for some of the reasons previously stated. |

:thumbsup :thumbsup I'd have to agree, that that 'nominee / contract officer' setup is rather nice for "anyone" concerned about their privacy... Although I have serious doubts about any privacy in the US anymore, regardless of state or statute... Thus I'm looking into IBC this year... However, if required to maintain a US presence then yes, my vote still goes for NV corps...with a contract officer setup... If you want another quote from someone that handles this you can reach me on ICQ at 5702550 and I'll give you my dude's phone #.... Very nice guy and easy to talk to, and most importantly knows his shit. |
Where can I get more info on this NV corporation set up with contract officers?
