MenuHow can I move money into my corporation?
Answers
It really depends under which legal jurisdiction you are. The tax laws are very different in each country.
Very generally speaking, every income needs to be accounted for, but what you could do is transfer the money to your corporate account and register it as a founder's loan to the company (which may or may not be paid back to you in the future). You just need to take into account that you still may need to report the source of the income (even if you didn't have a company then) and pay taxes for it (if applicable in your case - again, it depends where you located, how you're registered with the tax authorities, and what the amount is).
* Disclaimer: the above should not be seen as legal or tax advice as this is impossible to give without knowing all the details. You should always consult with an accountant or lawyer. I can try connect you with one if you let me know your location and budget.
Good luck

If you are the owner of the corporation you can transfer cash into the corporation in exchange for stock and its generally not a taxable event. The cash you contribute to the entity is recorded as either common stock or additional paid in capital which are all equity accounts. None of the cash should be recorded as income of the business. Alternatively you can fund the bank account and record the amounts as a shareholder loan on the company's balance sheet.
In the United States there are not restrictions for money to be transfrered into a your corporation. However it should be properly documented within the minutes of the shareholder meeting. The infusion of capital can be either the purchase of stock or an officer's loan. If it is the purhase of stock it should be documented in the stock purchase ledger and stock certificated should be signed and given to you the stock buyer.. A stock purchase ledger comes with a corporate kit which is usually provided by the company or person that set up your corporation. If the infusion of capital is an officers loan, a written promisory note should be created and signed by the lender and borrower and stamped and signed by a notary. The note should charge interest and payments should be made on a monthly basis and interest should be charged. You the lended should receive a 1099 from your company if it pays you more that $600 for the year. The Corporation would expense the interest on the corpororation tax return and the lender (you) would put the interest received on their personal tax return. ***Note this is not legal advise or tax advise this is a general discussion of the topic. You should speak to your attorney or accountant before acting on anything discusses in the forum.
It is possible to move money any time you want, but these are pandemic times and your worry is justified.
The global recession this year will not be as deep as expected because of countries' efforts to counter the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, the OECD said on Wednesday Sep 16 Sept 2020. But the recovery next year will also be more modest than anticipated, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said, projecting a contraction of 4.5 percent in global economic output this year and a return to growth of roughly 5.0 percent in 2021. In its previous set of forecasts in June, the Paris-based OECD had been expecting the global economy to shrink by 6.0 percent in 2020 and return to growth of 5.2 percent next year.
"After the initial bounce-back in many activities following the easing of confinement measures, there are some signs from high-frequency indicators and business surveys that the pace of the global recovery has lost momentum since June, particularly in many advanced economies," the OECD said. It pointed out, however, that "the economic outlook remains exceptionally uncertain, with the Covid-19 pandemic continuing to exert a substantial toll on economies and societies".
In the second quarter of 2020, global output more than 10 percent lower than at the end of 2019, "an unprecedented sudden shock in modern times", the OECD said.
The extent and timing of the pandemic shock differed across the major economies, but all experienced a sharp contraction in activity as necessary containment measures were implemented. Global trade collapsed, declining by over 15 percent in the first half of 2020, and labour markets were severely disrupted by reductions in working hours, job losses and the enforced shutdown of businesses.
Looking at individual economies, China was expected to be the only one to expand in 2020, with projected growth of 1.8 percent. India, on the other hand, would see its economy shrink by 10.2 percent. The United States, the world's biggest economy, would fare better than the global average, with a projected contraction of 3.8 percent this year. Germany would perform better than the eurozone, with its economy set to shrink by 5.4 percent, compared with a contraction of 7.9 percent for the single currency area. The French economy was set to shrink by 9.5 percent, Italy's by 10.5 percent and Britain's by 10.1 percent, the OECD predicted.
Overseas money transfers are possible through your bank as well, though you will often require a lot more information, including the name and address of the account holder, information about the financial institution the money is being sent to, and the SWIFT or IBAN of the recipient bank. International wire transfers sent in American dollars will cost you around $45. Funds sent in foreign currencies will cost about $35. Rates change and may vary depending upon your bank. There are several ways to transfer money:
1. Zelle: One of the newest players on the payment scene is Zelle, founded in 2017. The company is a United States-based digital payments network owned by the private financial services firm Early Warning Services. To access the service, users (with funds in a U.S. bank account) enroll their email and a U.S. mobile phone number with the Zelle app or through their bank's Zelle electronic portal. Next, the person sending the money enters the preferred mail address and U.S. mobile number of the recipient, who must also have a bank account in the United States. After payment is sent, the recipient receives a notification with instructions for completing the payment. Zelle does not charge fees to send or receive money, but sometimes the bank or other financial institution charges customers for providing access to the service.
2. PayPal: PayPal can be an economical method for transferring money. It allows individuals and businesses to transfer funds electronically from one PayPal account to another. It is free to send money through PayPal, though the recipient is charged a fee to cash the payment. For transfers up to $3,000, the charge is 2.9%, plus $0.30 per transaction. Fees decrease slightly for larger transactions, and there are no fees for sending to friends or family members, if money is coming from a bank account. International transaction fees tend to be about 1% higher and keep in mind that you will be charged an exchange rate on transfers made in international funds.
3. Western Union or MoneyGram: Western Union and MoneyGram provide similar services that allow you to transfer money to a different city, state, or country. They charge a flat rate for the transfer that is based on the speed of the transfer, the location you're sending money to, and the amount of money being sent. If you are doing an overseas or international transfer, you'll also be charged an exchange rate. These money transfer services don't generally offer a very competitive exchange rate, which results in a hidden charge if you transfer money internationally. However, one of the major benefits of these services is that they tend to be both highly dependable and convenient. As an example of fees, a $200 transfer through Western Union to a location within the United States or Canada will cost you around $12 for a rapid transfer and $8 for a next-day transfer. A transfer to the United Kingdom will cost around $22 if done through an agent of Western Union, and $15 if done online. Fees can change at any time.
4. Cash: Though this may be considered the "old-fashioned way" when it comes to transferring money, using cash can be extremely practical in some circumstances. For occasions where time is not the most important consideration, simply withdrawing cash and physically bringing it to another bank to deposit into an account is completely free! In most cases, the many cases the deposited money is available for withdrawal immediately. Keep in mind that sending cash through the mail is discouraged. If the mail gets lost, there is no way to retrieve the money.
5. Personal Checks: Writing a check and depositing it into another account, handing it to another individual, or sending it by mail to a recipient in a different city or state is another affordable choice—especially if your bank offers free checking. Things get a bit trickier when sending checks internationally. Sending a check overseas that's written in American dollars will often result in delays in cashing the check so that the bank can verify the deposit, and some banks may not even accept foreign checks. The recipient of the check may also have to pay a fee for cashing it and cover the exchange rate to have the funds exchanged into the local currency. This method is safer than cash for sending by mail because you can cancel a check if it does not arrive at its destination.
6. Bank Drafts, Money Orders, and Cashier's Checks: When it comes to physical transfers that are being sent in foreign currencies, you can purchase bank drafts and money orders in the currency of the location you're sending money to. Inexpensive money orders can be purchased through many post offices branches. These money orders will often be less expensive than those purchased through a financial institution, running anywhere between $3 and $9. Money orders purchased through a bank often cost about $10.
Money orders are typically used for smaller amounts than bank drafts. Because of this, the cost of purchasing a bank draft is often higher than for purchasing a money order. Though these forms of money transfer may take more time, they tend to be a more economical choice than services like wire transfers—and they are traceable in case they do not arrive at their destination.
7. Email Money Transfers: Some financial institutions, especially some of the larger Canadian banks, offer an email money transfer service. This form of money transfer functions like an electronic check. The funds are not physically transferred by email, though the transaction is initiated by email, and the recipient is notified by email that the funds are available. You do not need the recipient's bank account number, though a security question is generally required to identify the recipient before they can retrieve the funds. Transferring funds through email money transfer generally comes with a nominal cost of a couple of dollars, which makes it a cheap option if it is available to you. Receiving funds by this method is typically free. This service is also quite reliable and fast, generally only taking a few days to arrive in the recipient's account.

How are SaaS companies taxed?
Same as any other entity (or person). Entity pays taxes in it's domicile jurisdiction. Best you talk with a tax preparer in your home country to ensure you have all the details. And... If you're a US citizen + your SAAS company is generating massive cash, likely best to organize your entity in a low tax jurisdiction, like Bermuda which is home to Google, Intel, Verizon, etc. And... best wait till Trump's new tax bill passes. If he has his way, corporate taxes may drop to a point low enough to keep your business in the US.DF

Should I collect NY sales taxes for online marketing and web development services offered to NY clients?
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. For additional guidance, you may also want to refer to Publication 750, A Guide to Sales Tax in New York State http://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/publications/sales/pub750.pdf.

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.DA

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.JH

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.CS
