What taxes does a foreign-owned LLC in Nevada actually have to pay? I heard about a commerce tax.
I'm considering Nevada for my LLC because of the no income tax. I'm a French citizen running a SaaS business. But someone mentioned a "commerce tax" that kicks in at $4 million in revenue. Can someone explain how Nevada's tax structure works for an LLC?
Also, what about the Nevada business license and the annual list of members — how much do those cost?
