Forming a Limited Liability Company in New York State
New York recognizes many business forms including the limited liability company (LLC), corporation, limited partnership, sole proprietorship, general partnership and other less familiar forms. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. For any particular venture, personal and business circumstances will dictate the business form of choice.
Structure LLC
A limited liability company - is a combination of partnerships and corporations, combining the advantages of these structures. The reason for the growing popularity of the LLC among businessmen is that the company combines the type of corporation and the universality of the partnership. This means that the company itself does not pay tax on profits. Founders of companies pay only income tax on that income, which he lists the LLC with the amounts received, in accordance with a prior agreement.
Unlike a corporation, an LLC is exempt from double taxation of income (corporate tax and tax on dividends). This allows foreign owners and corporations to avoid paying taxes by registering an LLC in one of the states of the USA. LLC is not obliged to provide a federal declaration or a declaration of state of the Income Tax Act. With proper tax qualification company may be exempted from paying taxes.
Reporting and the requirements of the law
Law of the LLC does not provide for reporting. In the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company you must provide information about the company. Minimum reporting makes LLC a confidential organization. Investors or businessmen, who prefer to maintain the confidentiality of its business, can easily do so.
Tax Regime
In the U.S. there are two types of income tax. The first type of income tax - federal. All companies are required to pay this tax. The second type of income tax - state. The state determines the size of the tax. The amount of tax for the LLC in Delaware, Washington (DC) and New York State is equal to zero, which gives a great advantage of such companies.
LLC, owned by non-residents and not carrying on activities in the United States, do not pay taxes in the United States.
