Corporate Tax Rate

The USA has two corporate income tax levels levied on LLCs and Corporations - Federal Corporate Tax and State Corporate Tax. The Federal corporate income tax rate has recently been reduced from 35% to 21% by The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).

​

State corporate income tax rate in the US differs from one state to another. The lowest being 3% in North Carolina to 12% in Iowa. Delaware corporate taxes are levied at 8.7% of net income. However, if a business is incorporated in Delaware but does not transact business in the State of Delaware, then state corporate tax would not be levied. Thus, a Delaware incorporation would be most advantageous for foreign nationals and entities seeking to do business in the USA through Delaware.

USA Entry strategies

Business in the US can be set up in sole proprietorship, general partnership, LLC, or a Corporation. However, the entries for Indian companies are limited to an LLC or a C corporation in the USA.

​

In the USA, the laws and the regulations relevant to the Incorporation and management of LLC or corporation differ from one state to another. We incorporate all LLC or Corporations for Indian Nationals in Delaware as Company registration in Delaware has various benefits like low taxes, minimal maintenance fees, and excellent corporate laws.

​

Well, incorporating in Delaware is not only a good option for Indian Nationals and companies, but even American Companies as more than half of the companies are publicly traded, and fortune 500 companies in the USA are incorporated in Delaware.

LLC (Limited Liability Company)

LLC is a type of entity that has features of both corporation and a partnership. LLC provides the owners limited liability protection in case of a lawsuit and even bankruptcy. LLCs are more flexible, and the compliance requirements for LLC are simple.

​

A corporation requires resolutions and shareholders meetings and the recording and filing of forms showing meetings that were held and votes. On the contrary, LLCs do not require annual shareholders' meetings.

C-Corporation

If the goal is to seek funding from the VCs and angel investors, it is better to seek a C corporation in the USA. The bankers, investors, customers, suppliers, and employees consider corporations ideal for most businesses.

​

C-Corporations independent legal entities that are separate from the people who own, control, and manage. Due to this, it is viewed as a regular person in tax laws and can thus be engaged in business, and contracts can initiate lawsuits and be sued.

Difference between LLC and C- Corporation

LLC

The owners are the members of the LLC.

LLCs are suitable for small-scale businesses that have limited shareholders.

The Directors choose their shareholders who manage the business.

Why is USA Company registration beneficial for Indian businesses?

We can trace the first benefit as the business laws and regulations are well-formed as well as the corporate income tax rates are meager, which is extremely favorable for the foreign business to dive in.

​

However, it is to be noted that every state in the USA is governed by its state and laws and regulations that differ from each other vastly. States like Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada provide the most complimenting business and taxation laws, which makes it better for companies to incorporate.

​

Specifically, Delaware has no state sales tax, and the state's franchise tax or small US businesses is also meager. In addition to this, there is no need for non-residents to pay separate corporate income tax in Delaware.

​

Besides this here are the other advantages.

• The laws and regulations are business-friendly.

• As there is limited liability, personal assets such as houses and savings are safe from liabilities.

• The corporate income tax rates are low.

• The laws do not require the disclosure of the names of the company shareholders and directors.
