As a non-US entity, what would be the best way to bill customers within the US by ACH/direct debit and still avoid coming under purview of US tax laws?
We have just formed an S corp in Delaware and are in the processing of setting up a bank account.
We do not wish to accept credit cards but prefer money be taken out of customers' accounts every month, automatically. As of now we plan to just wire the money out of the US. I don't intend to pay any taxes in the US. What should I be aware of before consulting with a lawyer? I read about the W8B-EN provisions that exempt foreign owned companies from federal taxes in the US.
