You can forget about it. I have not found any recent case where the IRS sued anybody for "FBA" type of setups. This is in line with the fact that the IRS does not even do advance rulings. They simply accept any taxes that is given to them and never sue as they are likely to lose and do not want any hard facts on the table as long as their scared lawyers successfully︀ keep telling people to pay taxes.
Best alternative for UK ltd, no VAT, lower tax

I concur! There may be exceptions, but I can't remember any.
Now, they have gone after people, but these are︀ "targeted" people.
If Danny Dumb starts an X account badmouthing the US government and saying︁ things contrary to the narrative and runs an FBA store, then it is highly likely︂ he will be targeted. This isn't hard to imagine.

Even then. Such a case would not go unnoticed. It would bring clarity into the matter, which IRS does not want. There are chances that the court would rule it to be not subject to profit tax.
I mean how can︀ a company managed from Germany with only German staff be subject to profit tax in︁ the US because of their FBA warehouse? If it was like that all US companies︂ would start using Saudi warehouses and pay no tax.
Hence the present state is much︃ more attractive. All companies ask a lawyer and what can he advise? He cannot tell︄ you not to pay taxes. He tells you to pay taxes and helps the IRS.︅
That's why they do not do any advance ruling and don't sure. They just take︆ the money that comes for free.

(1) Ahhh... I see.... how you are looking at it.
The target doesn't have to be charged with anything︀ tax-related. Most people haven't dealt with the DOJ's full force. It's kind of like Al︁ Capone.
There are THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS of cases like this every day and TWICE on︂ Sundays. Never think you are dealing with sane people.
Only read the Appellate's Court's decision︃ if you can handle your worst nightmare! This is so bad. I advise people NOT︄ to read it as it sends you down a really dark path, and chances are,︅ like me, you will need anti-depressants.
Now, I will link the Appellate Court's decision:

(2) Unpublished opinion! Most people have NEVER heard of these. It's a killer and sets NO︌ precedence. Nothing for anyone to worry about.

PS. In one of︎ my own cases, four co-defendants fought back and went to jury trial. Four out of️ 18 co-defendants pleaded guilty and turned state witnesses. I testified on behalf of my four friends. The government already knew I wasn't going to flip since I don't have subjective morals and ethice. They NEVER came to ask me ANYTHING! I didn't know the other 14 co-defendants. While testifying, as a matter of law, I brought up that what they charged the 4 with is NOT a prohibitive act. Long story short: The jury found them guilty anyway! The judge, as a matter of law, overturned the jury's decision. The government appealed. The appellate court sided with the district court judge.
The 14 state witnesses︀ who testified for the government being left out to dry, tried to withdraw their guilty︁ pleas as they realized they pleaded guilty to a non-existent crime. The district court denied︂ it, the appellate court affirmed the district court's decision (unpublished opinion), and SCOTUS totally ignored︃ it. No mention.
That, my friends, is how 14 dumb and lying snitches got sentenced︄ for a NON-EXISTENT crime because they wanted to be the House SLAVE! They sided with︅ the WRONG side to save their OWN skin!
PSS. I'll try to get permission of︆ the four co-defendants to see if I can post the court's decision and the appellate︇ decisions here. The court's decision of the 14 others has been sealed. I have a︈ printed copy somehwere, but my digital copy I have NO idea where it is. I've︉ changed computers so many times. It's a 2002 case. I fought those bastards for 17︊ years because a few attorneys believed in rule of law, rule-based orders, and all kinds︋ of different Disney fantasies. Of course, NONE of them would defend any of us for︌ free. BTW, it was a quasi-partner mine that blabbed about our business to his drinking︍ buddies, mostly lawyers, on Shooters Waterfront in 2000. Vultures seeing a huge potential for them︎ to make money without seeing the implications started trouble with different 3-letter agencies demanding an️ opinion letter to take the company public.
Ask ANY of those lawyers today and they'll claim: He won the case. He got justice. They don't seem to have ANY morals or ethics to understand the 17 years wasted and millions of dollars in opportunity cost wasted defending yourself from a tribe with NO morals or ethics! Yeah, so f*ck all of them!

You can't understand any tax authority or office at any time, it's monkeys hired to do AI jobs in the office without using any brain, hence the IQ of such monkeys is similar to the ones of chimps not stupid but not wise enough to think at their own.
100%! They only FEAR lethal force! As in the lethal force, the judge tells them they are wrong and issues an order under the threat of violence! That's when they go seek an easier target! Worst f*cking people one will ever deal with.
Notice how almost NO tax agents reveal they︀ are tax agents on their social media profile or in their neighborhood? Same as thieves!︁ Very few (if any) reveal that they are thieves on their social media profiles or︂ in their neighborhood! ca#"!

I once met a guy supposedly from Italy speaking Italian and asking me for money. He complained that he thinks the people there are all racist or something. I was then︀ willing and I then asked for his passport, he pulled it out (no, it was︁ not from Italy) and mentioned "EU passport". Long story short, based on his nationality, he︂ already knew beforehand that he is a thief. (I will not mention the nationality here︃ as previous posts got deleted. I leave it up to your imagination where the beggars︄ in Germany etc. are from.)
The guy that was complaining about his incompetent government was not the issue. I think some others misunderstood my post which was mainly complaining about the government which then in turn makes thieves. You can still read about it here

In any case I met many very cool Romanians that were super nice. It is just the incompetent government forcing the weakest ones to get the money elsewhere due to the lack of social welfare.
We all don't believe in taxes. But︀ guys, if it costs 10k people 10k per year for fencing the house and power︁ generation, that is 100M which could be invested in solving the problems.

Let's start from scratch with facts.
- IRS does not do any advance rulings on ETBUS.
- The last court cases date back to times when Western Union was a telegraph company and not yet in the money laundering business.
- Half of the lawyers and accountants tell you ETBUS while the other half tells you the opposite.
