Quick answers.
Why is a US LLC a problem for Canadians?
Canada and the US classify LLCs differently, which can tax the same income twice. There are structures that avoid it — ideally set up before the LLC exists.
Do I need to collect US sales tax?
It depends on state economic nexus — commonly US$100,000 in sales or 200 transactions per state. We review your numbers state by state.
We already have a US entity. Too late?
No — repair engagements are common. The earlier the review, the cheaper the fix.
