As a Delaware LLC based out of NYC, should we collect sales taxes from NY clients?
Answers
Generally, the transfer of tangible personal property is the trigger for a sales tax event. In this case, it may be necessary to review the various aspects of a typical transaction to determine if any portion thereof would be subject to sales tax. However, generally speaking, receipts from the sale “Marketing”, "Media Placement Services" and "Web Site Networks" are not subject to State or local sales and compensating use taxes provided your organization does not sell or otherwise transfer any tangible personal property to its clients in conjunction with these activities or perform any services otherwise taxable under Section 1105(c) of the Tax Law in conjunction with these activities. (See, Advertising Agencies, Technical Services Bureau Memorandum, June 10, 1983, TSB-M-83(16)S.

Sale taxes are only collected when you have sellers permit in the state you are conducting business in. Another condition to collect sales taxes is to sell a product and you sell services.
Services provided such as the ones you listed do not collect sales taxes in any state.
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions make sure to give me a call :)
Yes you have to
Whether you are required to collect sales tax on online marketing and web development services that you offer to clients in New York depends on a few factors, such as whether you have a physical presence in the state and whether the services you offer are subject to sales tax.
Generally, if you have a physical presence, such as a retail location, warehouse, or office, in New York, you are considered to have nexus in the state and are required to collect and remit sales tax on taxable products and services that you sell to customers in the state.
However, even if you don't have a physical presence in New York, you may still be required to collect sales tax if you meet certain threshold, such as making a certain number of transactions or dollar amount of sales in the state. This can vary from state to state and you should check the specific laws of New York.
The services that you offer may or may not be subject to sales tax, as this can depend on how the services are classified. In general, services are not subject to sales tax, but it is also possible that the state of New York could treat services as taxable, again, you should check the specific laws of New York.
I would recommend consulting a tax professional or checking the website of the New York Department of Taxation and Finance to determine whether you are required to collect sales tax on the services you offer to clients in New York and what your obligations are.
It is important to be aware of tax laws and regulations to make sure you are compliant and avoid any penalties from tax authorities.

Can my S-Corporation receive a 1099 on my behalf?
The income should be reported by the individual or business that provided the service and earned the income. If the 1099 is in your name, you could ask the issuing Company to change to the S-Corp if that is who earned the income. In the future, have a written agreement between your S-Corp and the Company you are providing service. Also, provide them with a Form W9, so they know where to report the 1099 income at year end.Chad ShultzCS

How do we log the inital funding of a C-Corp with funds from the owner's personal account in Quickbooks?
When you open a bank account for your corporation, you'll need to make an initial deposit with your personal funds. A shareholder's initial contribution can be recorded as either debt or equity. If you want to record the initial contribution as equity, you would debit cash for the amount deposited into the bank account, and credit an equity account, such as “shareholder’s equity” or “capital stock”. Alternatively, you can record the deposit as a shareholder loan. Debit cash for the amount deposited, and credit a liability account, such as “Loans from Shareholder”. There are also methods to bifurcate the contribution by recording a contribution as a combination of debt or equity.Jason KnottJK

Tax question: My Kindle publishing revenue is being taxed 30% by the US gov. Do i still need to be taxed or even declare my earnings in my country?
First I'm lot a tax attorney or even know anything about Malaysian tax law. I'm however a person that has moved around a lot and have encounter this situation before. You will must likely have to declare your US income in your home country. However some local tax laws allow for a deduction of foreign tax paid at source. I have not found a US tax treaty between US and Malysia but you should contact a local tax attorney or the tax agency there and ask if they allow deductions or exemptions for foreign tax paid at source. If they do, you would declare your income and deduct the amount of tax already paid to the US. You may or may not still be liable for additional tax on that income. Again it depends on local tax rates and policies. It's never a good idea to hide income from your tax agency though.Daniel ArroyoDA

Are promissory note installments considered capital gains? I'm selling my website and would love insight on the financial details.
Yo are talking apples and oranges. Capital gains are related to your basis not the form of payment. If you are a cash basis taxpayer, you pay taxes when you receive cash beyond your basis. We can help you with structure.James HaftJH
