Domestic corporation. TABLE OF CONTENTS -----------------
Domestic corporation. One of the key advantages of ownership through a corporation, which distinguishes it from direct ownerships, is the liability shield it provides its nonresident owner while offering potential tax benefits. Additionally, the corporation acts as its taxpayer, eliminating the responsibility of the foreign owner to file federal and state tax returns. However, this structure only offers partial anonymity because of disclosures on tax returns filed by the corporation. U.S. corporations are subject to federal income tax on current income (net of deductions) at graduated rates exceeding those faced by individual owners, and a flat withholding tax when the profits are repatriated to the foreign shareholder. This structure also creates an extra tax burden for the foreign investor with increased capital gain rates and the second layer of taxation upon repatriation of profits. Another disadvantage of this structure is that the value of the stock in the domestic corporation is subject to U.S. estate tax upon the death of the foreign individual. However, the gift of stock in a domestic corporation is not subject to U.S. gift tax. While an option to the investor, the use of a U.S. corporation by foreign investors is very limited and often, not advisable.
