Tax benefits of a Delaware offshore company formation

The Delaware non-resident Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a unique non-taxable offshore company structure. It is not a partnership or a corporation but a distinct business entity offering an alternative by combining the corporate benefits of limited liability with the partnership benefit of pass-through taxation. A Delaware Limited Liability Company (LLC) is popular for conducting international businesses outside the US.

Providing the owners of the Delaware Limited Liability Company (LLC) are not US residents or green card holders, and the company’s office(s) is based outside the US and no business is done in the US, then unlike US corporations, the company does not pay US state or federal tax income or file an income tax return.

Delaware Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) are preferred to US “C” corporations because these corporations must file worldwide income tax returns even if they do no business in the US, owe no US taxes and are owned by non-US residents.

Tax benefits of Delaware offshore companies

Providing the owners of a Delaware Limited Liability Company (LLC) are not US citizens or green card holders, the offices are based outside the US and the company does no business in the US, there is no US state or federal income tax to pay.

Non-residents are additionally exempt from inheritance tax on stocks and shares. There is however a single annual franchise tax that must be paid to the state of Delaware.
