incorporate a US company (Australian citizen)

hey guys,


I am currently selling in the MAS and IOS, and was thinking of incorporating a US company, and transferring ownership of all my apps to the new company apple id. (i assume i will need to create a new company iTunes account?)


What I am most interested in is tax laws/requirements. I have no idea how this will work - if it will work?

does anyone have experience with this setup?


How do i go about transferring income from the company in the US to myself in Australia?

Do I pay myself a wage? if so how does this work, as I don't have a social security number.

Or do I distribute profits from the company to me? (Im not sure i like this idea, as I think i would be liable to double taxation - first in the US on profits, then again in Australia for the foreign income)


I figured id ask here first, as there is sure to be someone else in my unique situation.


thanks in advance for any pointers.

This is exactly what I am considering. Did you go through with it, how did it go? Did you find any useful information about it?

I am not sure if I can get Apple to display my actual business name instead of my personal name. It looks like we might need to do all of this paperwork to avoid that, so I am wondering how hard it is
