Hi,

I plan to run my budding online business from another country, while working there on a work visa. I need to know whether I can do this by registering the business in a U.S. state before I leave, and paying all taxes in the U.S. I will also have a U.S. address to use for the business.

Thank you

If the business is registered in the US, you will have to pay taxes there.

Thank you, pcwork, for replying. Do you mean I can operate the business legally while residing in another country on a work visa, as long as I have my business registered in a U.S. state? Also, when you say I have to pay taxes "there," do you mean in the U.S.?

If so, I understand that. I just want to make sure I can do so without getting in trouble in the other country.

Thanks.

i'm curious about this too. I want to run an online affiliate marketing business, and I think I have to have the checks sent to a US address.... but if I decided to live outside of the US for part of the year, what would that mean, tax-wise?
