Amerikaanse LLC (Wyoming) voor eigenaren buiten de VS
Een Wyoming LLC voor mensen die buiten de VS wonen en werken. Heeft de LLC geen kantoor, personeel of vertegenwoordiger in de VS, dan heft de VS er in de regel geen federale inkomstenbelasting over en kent Wyoming geen inkomstenbelasting op staatsniveau. Wij richten de LLC op, regelen het EIN (Amerikaans belastingnummer) en de Amerikaanse bankrekening en zorgen dat de jaarlijkse aangiften op tijd klaar zijn.
A Wyoming LLC (limited liability company) is the simplest way for someone who lives outside the US to own a US company. You can invoice clients in dollars, take card payments through Stripe or PayPal, and hold a US business bank account. Wyoming has no state income tax, no franchise tax, and doesn't list members on its public register.
Here's why it can be 0% on income earned outside the US (foreign-source income). A one-member LLC is 'disregarded' for US federal tax: the US looks straight through it to you. If you're not a US person and the work is done outside the US, with no US office, no US staff and nobody in the US acting for you, there's generally no US business income for the US to tax. Wyoming adds no state income tax. So the LLC pays no US income tax.
That's the US side only. The country you live in still decides what you pay overall. If it doesn't tax this kind of income, or taxes it lightly, the total can stay very low. A UK resident is taxed in the UK, and HMRC usually treats a US LLC as a company rather than see-through, which changes how the profits are taxed there. That's the grey area we check with you before anything is filed.
Every year the LLC still files Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 with the IRS, even when there's no tax to pay. Miss it and the penalty is USD 25,000 per form. Wyoming also needs an annual report (from USD 60) and a registered agent. The yearly renewal covers all of it, so nothing slips.

Eén team, stap voor stap, van het eerste gesprek tot en met de overdracht.
A short call on where you live, where the work is done and who your clients are, so the US position and your home country's tax are both clear before anything is filed.
We form the LLC in Wyoming, set up the registered agent and get the EIN (the US federal tax number), which for non-residents takes two to six weeks.
We prepare and send the US business bank account application, handle the back-and-forth, and build a simple business website as proof of business.
The state annual report, the registered agent and IRS Form 5472 with the pro forma 1120 are done for you, and the team is there for questions all year.

De landen die wij hiervoor het vaakst gebruiken.
Vragen die we in elk kennismakingsgesprek horen.
- Is a Wyoming LLC really 0% tax?
- In the US, generally yes for a non-US owner. A one-member LLC is disregarded for federal tax, and with no US office, staff or anyone in the US acting for you there's usually no US business income to tax. Wyoming has no state income tax. But the country you live in can still tax the profits, so your overall rate depends on where you live.
- What counts as US income?
- Broadly, income from a business carried on in the US: a US office, US employees, or someone in the US acting for you. Selling services to US clients from abroad doesn't create it by itself when the work is done outside the US. Some US investment income, such as US dividends, is taxed separately by withholding.
- Do I still have to file anything if there's no tax?
- Yes. Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 every year, due 15 April (an extension is available). The penalty for missing it is USD 25,000 per form. Wyoming also needs an annual report each year. Our renewal files all of it.
- I live in the UK. Does it still work?
- Be careful. You're taxed in the UK on the profits, and HMRC usually treats a US LLC as a company rather than see-through, so the US treatment may not carry over and the same profits can end up taxed twice. It can still make sense for US clients or banking, but check it against your own facts first.
- Do the owners have to be reported to the US government?
- Since FinCEN's final rule of August 2026, US-formed companies no longer file beneficial ownership (BOI) reports. Banks still check who owns and runs the company, and the IRS sees the owner on Form 5472.
- Which bank will open the account?
- Fintech banks such as Mercury, Relay, Wise and Payoneer reliably serve LLCs owned by non-residents once the EIN is issued. Traditional banks usually want you in person with a US address.
