- pianoben 6y agoWord. California always gets its cut. If you're in California, or have customers there, going to other states only increases your potential obligations.
- feross 6y agoExactly. Which is why I just recommend forming a California LLC directly if you live in California (like I do).
- CalChris 6y agoYeah. I understand the advantages of a Delaware C corporation if you need a C corporation. But I don't see the advantages of a Delaware LLC if you will be operating in California.
- CameronNemo 6y agoIf you own the LLC but don't take a salary, do you still have to pay the fee?
- danielrpa 6y agoYes.
- ISL 6y agoNYS was the same way. It was irrelevant whether the company made money or not.
- LordAtlas 6y agoAs a non-US citizen, California taxes and fees seem ridiculous.
- manigandham 6y agoThey are. There's little-to-no benefit derived from these arbitrary fees, especially amongst all the other high taxes in the state.
