Is USA the ultimate stealth offshore jurisdiction for non-US citizens?

Register company in Delaware

Open account in Miami

Done deal.

They don't share info, they don't care. They want to become a tax haven.

What are issues with this?

I'm new and still tring to figure things out. Why Deleware and Miam?

I want to start a company somewhere with low taxes. I want it private. If I started a company in Deleware if the company actually grew, wouldn't the government audit me? Couldn't everything be taken away?

I know Deleware has good laws for corporations, but don't they tax a bit?

Also, why Miami?

Do not forget a LLC is pass-through, information is eventually shared with UK and EU, so it does not solve the tax residency. I currently have exactly this situation, but tax resident in a semi-offshore.
 
Shouldn’t be...but I won’t feel so safe if i were from UK or EU (which from I actually am).

EU here and I know what you mean, at this moment US banks are not reporting but who knows what will they do in the future.

IRS has details on every foreign LLC owner...and nobody knows if they share this with EU/UK or don't.

@ OP
Why Delaware?

DE the most expensive option, 300$ annual state fee + registered agent fee

WY = 100$ annual filing fee + RA

NM = no annual fees or filing requirements, you just need to pay the RA.

WY & NM are anonymous just like DE

Rumors say banks share details, anyway when you invoice a US company usually they require a W-8 form with UBO to avoid US nationals tax fraud, so IRS is aware of your incomes and have enough data to deliver to EU or any other tax office in the world; of course if you sell to consumers such form is not required.
 
Yeah WYOMING might even be a better choice.

So basically main fear is that if US is not sharing now, they WILL share in future?

What if you get second residency somewhere else and THEN open US company and get bank accounts and broker accounts in some third country?

Basically making the mess so convoluted and obstructive that tax man wouldn't bother even trying to find where to start...

The million dollar question!

It is NOT a second residency BUT your new residency.

Tbh, it depends how much you are earning - unless you are from US, IRS can go after you even if you owe them $1...

US not reporting?

They have been reporting for years as part of FATCA bilateral agreement.


 
This is only for services, not for goods.
The companies don't automatically share this with irs.

The data irs can easily share is the data you submit on form 5472.
 
It's more stealth than others, but the days of bank/corporate secrecy are over.
