If I move my site to a hosting company in the U.S. will it be considered a U.S. activity and thus having to pay taxes ? If anyone is in such a situation, please share with us how much do you pay, in percentages of course.
I'm pretty sure you just have to pay tax on income you receive in the country of residence under the laws of that country - but I'd also like someone to confirm that.
It is taxable in the country in which the 'entity' that owns it is based. Take me for example. I live in the UK, I have a server in the US (amongst others). I operate my business from the UK therefore I pay taxes here in the UK. If I choose to setup a US LLC then I would pay taxes in the US also, but only for the buiness conducted by the US LLC. HTH
But what if you open Delaware or Nevada LLC ? They are offshore accounts, and therefore they have lots of tax benefits? What does that mean for foreight webmasters exactly? Corporate laws for Delaware or Nevada are very low, therefor you are obligated to pay only that! There is no income taxes if you own a company in Delaware. I would like if someone with experience can confirm this and possible explain further Thanks. D.
Hi all. I have a quesion regarding this matter. Im about to receive my 1 payment and there is a tab under my account regarding taxes but i dont know what to choose. I do not live in USA and my only relation to the US is my shared hosting/domain. When i choose the option "not resident" i have other option to choose if i have any activity in US - so do i choose yes or no? Thank you
you dont pay taxes to Google..Google pays pays the taxes on your behave to the US goverment if you are from USA. but if you are not a US resident then YOU DONT have to pay any taxes.
Tax is so confusing! I'm English, moving to US to work for 3 years. Although I have working Visa and will live there, I have the choice of becoming a resident or not. If I don't then I think that additional earnings to my salary can be taxed in my home country. Therefore I was advised by my British bank to change my account with them to an offshore account. The complex thing is that I think google will want me to declare I live in America (I have no issues with this, got to pay the tax somewhere), but my visa stipulates where my money comes from, and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to earn additional sources of income! I think that my best option maybe to declare that I'm in US, hold the payment for 3 years, then claim it when I return home; I'm sure that there must be better options though.
