laws in America, with minimal government and maximum corporate flexibility.
TAX ADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES OF A WYOMING LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) The Wyoming Limited Liability Company is a relatively new type of entity. Member(s), the principal(s) of the entity, and the manager(s), the person(s) responsible for operations, can be indemnified from personal liability as is the case with corporations. The LLC is also taxed like a partnership whereby taxes are passed through to members, avoiding what is commonly referred to as "double taxation." Small businesses are candidates for considering this type of entity. Lower your taxes and gain maximum privacy with the one-of-a-kind Wyoming LLC. Ideal for foreign trade, investing in the U.S. and immigration purposes. NON-U.S. CITIZENS ARE ATTRACTED TO WYOMING AS AN OFFSHORE HAVEN IN THE U.S.In particular, Wyoming has attracted non-U.S. citizens who favor the state for its favorable corporate laws, flexible management and no federal income tax under certain circumstances when owned by non-U.S. citizens. There are four (4) requirements which must be satisfied:
Note: A Wyoming LLC may have a U.S. mail receiving and forwarding service and still qualify. Foreigners will appreciate the benefits of a Wyoming LLC which will provide credibility in international business by its U.S. presence. OWNERSHIP/MANAGEMENT The best method for owning and managing the LLC is to use an offshore corporation(s) chartered in a leading offshore financial center with no taxes such as the Bahamas. CRA of America, Inc. incorporates Bahamian International Business Companies (IBC) for U.S. $1,495.00. This cost includes government filing fees; certified copies of Articles of Organization and Articles of Memorandum; first year annual registered office and registered agent service; seal, share certificates and initial minutes. Management services are optional and additional nominee directors cost an additional $500.00 per year. They do afford the beneficial owner maximum privacy, flexibility and presence in the venue. Corporations, including offshore corporations, may act as members and/or managers of a Wyoming LLC providing maximum privacy for the beneficial owners and further protection. The LLC may be incorporated in approximately one week. Faster service is available by the state. The expedite fee is an additional $100.00. The minimum filing fee is $100.00 which includes up to a $50,000.00 contribution to the corporation. Higher contributions require increased filing fees. But there is no minimum contribution amount. Contact CRA of America, Inc. for the current fee schedule. The annual fees are modest. The state requires $100.00 annual and the Wyoming registered agent fee is $110.00. The documents of the LLC include the Articles of Organization (like Articles of Incorporation in a corporation) and the Operating Agreement (like Bylaws in a corporation) which governs its operations and relationship between members. Once you have incorporated, you will receive a certified copy of the Articles of Organization, and if you purchase the Limited Liability Company outfit, it contains an Operating Agreement and other important information, including 20 certificates of units of membership interest, seal, and more. Refer to Section 19. Whether a U.S. citizen or a non-U.S. citizen, Wyoming is a superior state for establishing your LLC and gaining the unique benefits of the liberal Wyoming corporation law. |
