Features of Nevada Limited Liability Companies (LLC’s)

LLC’s may engage in any lawful business outside the USA and make use of any currency that they may choose.

Nevada has no state tax, no franchise tax, no inventory tax, no inheritance tax, no unitary tax, no gift tax and no chain store tax.

Low property tax, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance tax.
Nevada has no IRS information-sharing agreement (there is no exchange of information between the Sate of Nevada and any other state or Federal agency).

LLC’s Members that conduct no business in the US and have no US source income, deductions, or credits are not subject to US federal income tax, and are not required to file US federal income tax return.

LLC’s could be subject to taxation by the United States of America or its individual states. It may include, trading in, with or through any territory of the USA, opening bank accounts, applying for a federal identification number (EIN), hiring employees or agents, and owning business interests and/or property in the United States of America.

Minimizing disclosures and filings: the key distinction is keeping separate “U.S. persons” (the Nevada LLC) and the all “non- U.S. persons” (the foreign member). If the U.S. Person has foreign accounts, then it may have to file FBAR disclosures. The non-U.S. persons remain confidential and do not, simply by virtue of owning an interest in a U.S. entity, have to file or disclose. Only when the non- U.S. person receives U.S. income should that person file and disclose.
Obtaining an EIN number does not trigger tax liability on the company or its members. Filing a “zero return” is a very good idea, it puts a deadline on IRS actions and shows compliance with standard industry practice. A single-member LLC is a disregarded entity meaning that the IRS will lock directly to the member for payment of taxes due. Without US Income, there is no liability, but if there is US income, then the taxes for that income are payable by the member.

Layered Nevada LLCs: this arrangement will be successful for limited liability. However, the member-LLC will be a U.S Person and will be subject to all regulations. Any U.S. income will pass thru to the ultimate member. This solution does not have federal tax advantages.

No need to register a minimum or maximum capital contribution.
