Legal Question in Tax Law in District of Columbia

Selling online in the US

Hi,

My company is based on Singapore and we are intending to sell/market products to the US market using various online means. Shipping will be handled by a fulfillment firm in the US whereby we will ship our inventory to beforehand. We will have no physical presence in the country besides using the fulfillment company to facilitate quick shipping.

What are the tax implications (in the US) of this model of doing business besides the import taxes which will be paid when importing the inventory?

Thank you for your question. Are you orders taken solely via the internet? Is the fulfillment firm taking title to the goods? You likely can structure these transactions in such a manner as to avoid incurring US tax liability. Feel free to contact me directly for more insight: [email protected]

This is a complicated issue and is fact-based. You will have to deal with both Federal and State tax issues. Before you do anything, you should contact a Tax and Business attorney.

I hope this helps!
