I was told by a reputable US tax advisor that I do not have US sourced income. My set up is such that I don't have a permanent establishment, nor staff nor any of the things that make that type of income connectable to the US.

Thanks. That'd be a US LLC and UK resident, not domiciled. Really appreciate the inputs!

I see, that would be my case. Thanks for the heads up. I will keep this in mind, but I haven't been asked about it in the process so far. do I have to pay tax or those royalties myself/through the LLC? Or does Google keep the money and passes it over to the IRS?

Correct, but the income I'd have from my app wouldn't be royalties? I know it isn't for Apple, it's sales/commission https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/660025

Wait, which parts of it are true for one but not the other?

No tax apart from the fee that Apple and Google impose for their services (the one that some years ago got reduced from 30% to 15% if your yearly revenue is below 1M I think). If your legal entity is a disregarded entity just like a single member LLC owned by a non-resident alien is, the income...

Ok, for anyone who might be interested. As per the current functionality when you apply for a Paid App, App Store Connect assumes you are a US person if you have a US legal entity and asks you to fill in a form that is tantamount to a W9. If so, write to the Finance/Tax department (from Sign In...

Do the right honourable people at @startfleetio any experience with this ^

I always thought the one criteria for "prestige" was this... 8 Countries that Produce The Most Models in The World

Slightly related to this, so I hope somebody has some insight. Non-resident alien with single-member US LLC which is the legal entity used for a developing organization on the App Store. Among the admin things to be done before publishing, Apple is asking to fill in a screen on App Store Connect...

Incorrect, Wise allows you to create a company-only bank account without EIN. You input a dummy one that they themselves provide in their help pages. The only thing, you can't have a bank card tied to that account until you get an EIN. But you can receive and make payments.

I can only speak wonders of Law 4 Small Business. A proper outfit with lawyers. I'd recommand people read their article about the often overlooked requirement that a registered agent has the address registered in a certain way with USPS. "To be clear, even if your Registered Agent says they can...

Yes, registered agent with their office, they get your mail and all that. And they are mostly lawyers and paralegals. Can't remember about accounting and tax filing because that venture of mine kinda aborted. But at the most they will have a few selected CPAs available. Really good people.

For anyone fawning over how MUCH cheaper a NM LLC is compared to a WY LLC (which in turn is cheaper than a Delaware LLC)... is the business venture you are planning such a smalltime thing that a few hundred dollars a year are a matter of life and death (or almost)? If so, you might want to...

@LolRoller You have to be more specific about your app income. Is it in-app purchase that are forcibly paid to Apple/Google first? Is it in-app purchases that can be paid to an external provider such as Stripe? Is it ads income?

Hi, I appreciate the heads up.

Whilst I'd agree that the choice of schooling is fundamental, there's more to education than universities, which your children will likely attend at an age where they are already adults and can go abroad with basically no problem. The nature and background of the average children in the school...

Hello! I have engaged with a few providers for a Wyoming LLC. None seem to offer a bank opening service with a "real" bank. At the same time I keep on reading some horror stories about Wise and, presumably, other neobanks... Would getting a real bank account with a normal bank easier (or...

The service I used for my New Mexico LLC are really good. Competent, on-the-ball registered agents with in-house lawyers. Wherever I phoned them, they picked up the phone. I'd like to use them for my Wyoming LLC but they cannot offer the actual address in Wyoming, which kinda defeats the purpose.
