Got questions about taxation for a US LLC, or how to set it up as a foreigner? Ask them here!

[@shreddeRTV]

I have US LLC as foreigner in Deware and need to pay annual franchise tax and registered agent tax, I'm doing dropshipping business and wondering if I need to pay for income or federal taxes too... I don't have employee or office in the US. I'm doing my job from my country. Kinda worried because I don't wanna face with the penalties, because they are quite heavy for my pocket lol. Thank you in advance and looking forward to hear from you

[@cavallopazzo340]

That's also what I figured out talking to a US tax lawyer. The only point he wouldn't agree with are the sales taxes. According to him and also the other information I collected there is now economic nexus in the US for sales tax. What this means is that if you go above a certain threshold of sales (either number of sales or amount, depending on the state) in a specific state you need to pay sales tax to that state. No matter where your business is located or how your business is set up.

[@aziq3959]

@@aziq3959 You definitely need to pay sales taxes if you want to be compliant now once you hit the individual states' threshold. No matter where your company is located :-(

I would be really thankful if you find the time to answer these questions...

[@GlobalizationGuide]

1. No need for an offshore account (it won't work anyway to use that account for the LLC). If you do not have income that is considered US source, then yes, no tax obligations on the US side. Your country of residence may levy taxes on your worldwide income, in which case you'd have to pay your taxes there. 2. Delaware has Nexus laws as well, like all states do, However Delaware has no state tax. Doesn't make a difference though for most non-residents. 3. No, if you already have a SSN, you do not need an ITIN.

Hi Chris, Do you see any value in forming an LLC solely to trade securities with a US broker? I live in Peru where worldwide income is to be declared. There are no current tax treaties between the us and peru, nor tax information exchange agreements.

[@GlobalizationGuide]

Hi Gonzalo. First I want to state, that I am not a 100% expert on the particular question you asked me. But I will answer to my best knowledge. And while I can not make a final statement for you, on whether or not it makes sense, I can tell you some challenges: (1) Your LLC is subject to withholding tax on the dividends you earn from your stock investment under Section 871(a)(1) at a 30% withholding rate. The brokerage firm will withhold this amount. If you live in a home country having a Bilateral Tax Treaty with the US you can reduce the withholding rate to a lower rate under Article 10. If your home country has no treaty with the US, you cannot reduce the withholding rate. As you already stated yourself, Peru currently has no tax treaty with the United States, so you can not lower withholding tax. taxsummaries.pwc.com/ID/United-States-Corporate-Withholding-taxes This is the big issue, 30% is significant. (2) Beyond that, you would also get taxed again on your earnings at a personal income tax level in Peru. And (3) there is also a question of how Peru treats the disregarded-entity structure of the LLC. (this would become really complicated really quickly to go into, and I'm also not sure on many things, that would require someone who really knows Peruvian tax law) Sorry bud! PS: Feel free to join my facebook group!

[@gonzo1483]

@@GlobalizationGuide Thanks for taking the time Chris! Dividends aren't a factor as I trade options. I'll have to get my hands on a peruvian tax expert. I was hoping that the LLC would assume all IRS obligations (of which there would be none) and that Gonzalo the resident of Peru would have none. I'll check out your group, cheers. :)
