I am a US Citizen, now currently in India and likely to be here for several years. I would like to open an LLC in my former home state of Maryland in the US (I will likely be the only employee as a consultant), and provide my consulting services in the telecommunications area to US companies. Following are my questions: 1) Can opening an LLC in US be done, without me having a permanent address in the US and myself working from India to US companies 2) If so, what are the general tax implications? I assume that I will have to pay US taxes, including SS matching for myself. What is the approximate tax %? I assume that I will not get any typical tax benefits of a US resident LLC 3) I will be charging customers typical US labor rate and getting paid in dollars Thanks!

What are the pros and cons of re-incorporating under a different/new name, tax ID etc?

A pro as making a fresh start/clean break/clean new books? A con as losing the good credit history built up? Other considerations? Overall bad or good idea?  From tax perspective maybe?

 

  1. If trying to avoid tax liabilities then it is a bad idea
  2. If you owe  p.roll or sales taxes to the departments then new licenses will not be issued until pay all prior dues.
  3. With a new start will lose all credibility
  4. Bottom line it all depends what you want to achieve by creating a new entity instead of using existing.
