The US tax system is complex and multi-layered, with taxes levied at the federal, state, and local levels. This means that businesses must consider not only IRS regulations but also the specifics of the specific state where the company is registered or where its actual operations are conducted. This is why the location of incorporation is often chosen strategically—for example, Delaware, Wyoming, or Nevada are attractive due to their low requirements and lenient regulations.
Furthermore, taxation of a US company also depends on the business structure, as C-Corporations and LLCs are taxed very differently.
1) A C-Corporation pays taxes in two stages—and this is the essence of this structure. First, the company itself pays a 21% federal corporate tax plus any state tax applicable (for example, 8.7% in Delaware, and 0% in Wyoming and Nevada). Then, when the company distributes profits to its owners in the form of dividends, these dividends are again taxed as personal income for the shareholders (from 10% to 37%, depending on income level).
2) An LLC (limited liability company) in the US has the ability to choose its taxation system.
- If pass-through taxation is chosen, the company's profits are not subject to corporate tax. Income passes through the owners and is reflected on their personal tax returns, where it is subject to federal income tax at a progressive rate (10-37%). For non-US residents, tax arises only on "effectively connected income" (ECI), that is, income received from domestic activities.
- If an LLC chooses to be taxed as a corporation (C-Corp), the company pays a 21% federal corporate tax and applicable state taxes, while the owners' dividends are taxed separately as personal income.
The US also has a franchise tax—a fee for the right to do business and be registered in a particular state. It must be paid annually, regardless of whether the company generates income. Amounts and rules vary by state and by type of company: in Delaware, C-Corps pay from $225 (depending on the number of shares), LLCs from $300; in Wyoming, LLCs pay a licensing fee starting at $60. In other states, rates may be fixed or calculated based on capital or share value. Some states levy no franchise fee at all, limiting the fee to an administrative one.
VAT does not exist in the US; its equivalent is a sales tax. This tax is paid by the end consumer, but is collected and remitted by the seller. There is no federal sales tax; all rates are set at the state level, and sometimes at the county and city level, so the tax burden varies greatly. Rates range from 0% (e.g., Delaware, Oregon, Alaska) to 7-8% (California, Tennessee), and with local taxes, the total rate can reach 10-11% in some cities.

For an international business, consider a corporation (C-Corp) or a limited liability company (LLC). For small businesses and startups, especially those with multiple owners or operations outside the US, an LLC is more suitable. A C-Corporation, on the other hand, is more suitable for larger companies and startups planning to attract investors, where the ability to reinvest profits internally and issue shares is important.

Annual financial statements are submitted by all companies that have become tax registered and have received a tax number. If the company does not conduct actual activities in the states, it may file zero accounts. For companies that do business in the US and generate local revenue, financial reporting is mandatory. The type of reports and forms required in the US is determined by the company's type and tax status.
Even if a company is inactive and has no income, most states require filing an annual report and, if applicable, paying minimum fees or a franchise tax. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in state penalties, loss of corporate status, and deregistration.
All firms must annually confirm the relevance of their registration data by submitting a static report (Annual Report). With this document, companies notify the Regulator of changes in the address, composition of shareholders, the amount of statutory capital, etc. If there are no changes, the company simply confirms the relevance of the current data.
