Optimization of workflow and receipt of payments for an IT company from the CIS with legal entities. person in Wyoming USA or elsewhere?

Question

Freelance

We are a company that provides consulting and software development services. We worked, we worked and faced such a problem that some of our clients do not want to bother with paying to our region. Well, plus, we would like to try to launch our own mobile application in order to get the experience of promotion and generally look at the situation from the customers' point of view. And our laws do not yet allow this to be done in a human way. Therefore, we thought, and decided - why don't we open a company in the states that will receive payment, and then order services from us.
But there is such a situation that we do not like to pay American income tax at all. Our taxes are much lower. In connection with this question.
If I opened a company in the USA and money was transferred to my account, and then I conclude an agreement with my company here and the same money goes to my homeland under the agreement. At the end of the year, it turns out that the company's revenue can be very significant, and the profit is minimal, or it can not exist at all. Is such a scheme of activity legal and generally applicable?

UPD1: Legal/Accounting assistance is very welcome, but at the moment there is no access to trustworthy specialists.
There was mention of double taxation. So the goal is to pay almost no taxes in there (read the USA), because. We do not plan to carry out any actual activities in this way, but here we already work in our legal field. We just need this company for the convenience of customer relations and the ability to legally and easily receive payment for our mobile applications / services (and not puzzle over where to get the certificate of completion and how to resolve the situation when a client paid you $ 3 for a month using the service). And I would like the costs for this convenience not to exceed a few additional percent.
It seemed to me that it was possible to do this, and therefore here I want to confirm or refute this conjecture.
PS If suddenly USA/Wyoming is not the optimal solution for my problem I would appreciate any advice.
PPS The initial title of the topic was chosen incorrectly, I apologize.

Answer 1

This is not laundering from one of your firms to another,
contact your accountant.

Answer 2

It all depends on the contract between the companies and their connections.
For example, if an American office is a daughter of a Russian one, then there may be a suspicion of transfer pricing, which is not good. Approximately the same - if the founders or managers of both counterparties are the same persons.
A variant of an agency agreement is possible, when one of the companies receives some clear percentage - this is already easier. Even easier - if the offices are not legally connected with each other.
In general, the situation when the American "gasket" has no profit for years is completely normal - this is not Russia, fortunately.
You can and even need to turn to a lawyer, but I doubt that hundreds of bucks will be enough for this even in such a hole as Wyoming 8-)

Answer 3

Pay taxes twice - first your company in states, then your company in the Russian Federation. There will be a double burden in terms of reporting. If here you are apparently somehow oriented, then in shataths - no, and this is an additional overhead for a consultant.
You are registered as an LLC or as an individual entrepreneur, what is the taxation scheme? USN, OSNO, UTII?
In which region - the Russian Federation? Why don't they want to - what confuses them ? Open an account somewhere else - in the Baltic States, for example. Let them pay there. Use the US Payment Service or similar - it will certainly be easier than opening a company in the states to work with a single stubborn client.

Answer 4

You checkers or go? Economic residence in a decent place, or tax haven?

Answer 5

and what prevents you from simply opening a bank account of a Russian legal entity in the states and accepting payments there?

Answer 6

Wyoming is a state with low maintenance costs in the form of state taxes. There is also the state of Texas, where there will be no local tax at all until the revenue of $1.1 million per year. In this regard, the state is chosen correctly. And it is not necessary to go there to open an account. You can also open an account from another state to which it is convenient for you to fly. To do this, you need to stock up on a letter stating that you do not plan to do business in the state of opening an account, but do it because of convenience.
As for zero profitability, it is "ugly" and spoils the "statistics", but is not illegal. I would recommend keeping a small profit and paying 15% corporate tax on it. Who knows, maybe you will later use this company for immigration purposes. For more information see www.iac-a.ru
