Doing business with USA member states in Business, Accounting & Taxes ·
Come on, give me a bit more detail here—who is actually listed on the Invoice, and what’s the deal with this other company paying for your goods? We really need to clear up how these relationships work if you want a straight answer.

feralorca92 said:But—could the ownership actually be transferred via an invoice from Italy to the US? And if so, how would they even handle the sales tax collection?? 🤔 🤔

Of course—you just include the change of ownership with the invoice. The US won't charge sales tax if the yacht stays anchored in Italy, so Italy handles the tax because that's where the boat is actually sitting...

feralorca92 said:Hi everyone! I’m looking for some help if anyone has dealt with something similar before...
So—an American company is looking to buy a used yacht in Italy. The boat is currently flying a British flag (though I'm not entirely sure if that actually matters)—but we would need to execute an intra-community acquisition without physical delivery. Essentially, ownership would be transferred here in the US, while the yacht stays put in Italy. Is that even possible? And if it is—I guess—what specific steps would we be required to take??

There’s no such thing as an acquisition without delivery—if the yacht belongs to an Italian firm, they’re going to charge their local sales tax since the boat isn't actually leaving Italy. As for the flag, that's probably just a registration issue...

Sophia Thompson4 said:Could really use a little help here.
I’ve got someone I need to register with Medicare, but there's a bit of a catch—they live in a different city than where our office is located and where they actually work.
I'm just stuck on what to put in this specific section of the form:
4. Municipality of workplace/residence? Do I list their home address or the city where they're working?
thanks

The city where they work.

urbangull65 said:I’m looking at a capital expenditure—specifically, purchasing a truck for my small business. How exactly should I be recording this? I mean, it isn't an immediate expense I need to log in the P&L—since the actual cost hits via depreciation—but I still have to account for it on the balance sheet, right? Or am I overthinking this?
Reese, or someone else? Help me out here...

Per Article 22 in the KPI, you can definitely claim the sales tax on trucks if they're being used for business operations.

Just make sure to use the IBM code in your inventory.

Olivia Cruz86 said:Look, we're a service-based business and we finally just uninstalled that tax software we had sitting on our office computer. Since those companies are constantly pushing updates—and obviously charging an arm and a leg for them—we decided it’s just not worth the headache. We're strictly doing everything through bank transfers now, so why pay for a subscription for software we haven't even touched in over a year? I was digging through the settings in the fiscalization program and I saw this little checkbox that says "Close Business Location." Is that the magic button right here? I don't want to accidentally wipe out everything since we're still officially registered for reporting, but I need to make sure I don't mess anything up.

Thanks!

Yep, that’s exactly it.

If you're just doing direct bank transfers, you're still subject to sales tax rules regarding how receipts look and your internal records—but nothing else really applies to you anymore...

You’ve gotta notify the IRS if you're moving away from handling cash—just like when you first set everything up, you'll need to update your status to closed and send over that XML file.

That way, they’ll officially know you aren't doing business with cash anymore...😉

Peter Young5 said:Hi there,
I’m an independent contractor looking to bump up my contribution base... but I keep hitting an error message in the Joppd system. Is there actually a way to pay contributions based on a higher base than what’s officially prescribed?
Thanks,

You'll want to look into codes 5802 through 5807 for a higher base—it really just depends on your specific situation...

Aaron Peterson17 said:But then they're automatically pulled into the sales tax system, aren't they? What if someone actually wants to stay outside of that system?

It isn't that they don't have to ask for a tax ID if they aren't in the system, similar to how things work under IRS guidelines $0.00, but the crucial part is ensuring that the service doesn't have any foreign sales tax bundled into it
.

The $77,000 threshold applies to goods—if it's a service, you definitely need that Tax ID...

You can actually hold a Tax ID without being fully registered in the sales tax system.

Man, Customs is seriously getting on my nerves... I had to download this new version because of some intrastate stuff, and now my signature won't even work on the e-NOAA site—it keeps throwing some weird error about keystore initiation or whatever. Wtf, why can't all our government services just play nice with the same settings? It’s like one works and the other doesn't.

I finally managed to fix it using a different laptop... but honestly, it drives me insane every single time since you have to run one specific update just for things to break everywhere else.

Anyone else dealt with this headache lately???

Laura Castillo6 said:So, does this mean I actually have to deal with paying sales tax under the current tax law?

If I’m reading the situation right, there’s a certain group of employers here in the States who just don't bother paying it during acquisitions, yet the IRS doesn't seem to go after them at all.


The real kicker here is that you were the one who applied for a VAT ID in the first place. If you hadn't gone through with it, you could've picked up goods up to about $115,000 without any issues—but since you weren't in the system, Spaniards would've slapped their own sales tax on you, which you'd end up paying directly to them.

But hey, since you officially registered for those USA transactions, you're now on the hook for reporting and paying sales tax here in the States.

Look at the bright side, though... if you hadn't grabbed that ID, you would've been stuck paying an extra 21% to the Spaniards for their local tax. That means you actually came out ahead by about 4%!🙂

Brian Campbell36 said:An American trucking company provides transport services into Austria. We issue an invoice that includes a transfer of tax liability. Once in Austria, the local Austrian driver covers the fuel costs and tolls; the difference based on the issued invoice is then paid directly into our business checking account. In my cash receipts and disbursements journal, I record amounts like $10,000.00 for both receipts and expenditures.
Do I need to record $5,000.00 through the journal as
in-kind receipts and disbursements, while recording the other $5,000.00 as a direct deposit into the bank account? I would appreciate some guidance.

First thing—are those fuel and toll receipts from Austria actually billed to the American carrier?

Look, if you're in a rush—just call an agent to get it verified, because if you sit around waiting, it could easily drag on until September...

Carl Collins3 said:Hello everyone,
I also have accumulated sales tax credits, and I’m about to have a corporate income tax bill coming up. I’d love to apply those credits toward the income tax, so could someone please help me figure out how to properly draft the request for an offset and let me know if there are any specific supporting documents I need to attach? Thanks in advance.

Attn: Ana Anić

Subject: Request for Credit Transfer

Based on the current balance regarding Hezbollah on account 1201 — Value Added Tax, please
transfer the credit amount of $5000 to account 1651 — Corporate Income Tax.

Explanation:
The taxpayer provides services exclusively to European Union suppliers; therefore, per Section 17(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, the tax liability is transferred, resulting in no VAT obligation. Meanwhile, the taxpayer utilizes services from domestic partners and claims input tax based on that.

There you go—just tweak it to fit your specific situation... some agents will ask for bank statements, others won't, so just check directly with them...

Jack Young said:Hey everyone, did you catch what happened over on the IRS portal regarding that U.S. Chamber of Commerce membership prepayment 01?
The posting date says April 7, 2016, but the actual payment currency date was back on February 1, 2016...
I honestly had no clue that starting this year, healthcare facilities paying corporate income tax would also be on the hook for those U.S. Chamber of Commerce dues...

Yeah, I caught onto that today too—my clients are absolutely thrilled 👎, if you consider "reducing the burden on small businesses" a joke...

Oh, and by the way—the identification number for LLCs is now the same as for standard corporations... it’s using the middle code 002 instead of the old 005 from last year...

Kate Adams7 said:Man, they’re really staying on top of things.
I remember hearing people say that LLCs would start paying $14 starting this year.

I can't even check my status right now because the IRS site is telling me my certificate has been revoked!!!
Is anyone else having issues?
The EPA site seems to be working fine for me though.

Edit: turns out it works if I use Internet Explorer.
Yeah, they hit me with charges for all my LLCs and those non-profit schools too.

Same here—my certificate isn't working on Google Chrome, only Explorer... getting the exact same error message as you... it's not an issue with FINRA like they claim, it's just more nonsense from the IRS people...

When I fill out my sales tax forms, I only include the credit from the most recent filing—not the whole accumulated amount.

Earlier this year, I tried to roll over some accumulated sales tax credits into my corporate income tax.

I went down to the IRS office with my paperwork from back in 2015—including the request for the rollover and the adjustment voucher—and they told me to just resubmit the last sales tax return. They said to mark it as a refund request instead of a credit, and to only report the amount from that final filing regardless of the total credit, and then they’d handle the rest.

Fast forward thirty days, and they notify me that the refund was approved, but they haven't done the rollover at all... so I head back there, and the clerk tells me the check is being mailed tomorrow. I'm like, "Wait, what? We asked for a rollover, not a check!" She just shrugs and asks why I marked it as a refund in the first place. 🤣

Well, I told her, "That's exactly what you guys told me to do!" So she calls someone into the room where I originally filed (it was a total mess there after the new administration took over), and suddenly she realizes, "Oh, okay, everything is fine, we'll do the rollover." 😁

Honestly, it feels like half these agents don't have a clue what they're doing...

🤣 Look, I already told you guys back at 1:00 PM that they were going to extend the deadline... They were slow to announce it, but it was obvious—that whole mess with Java made it pretty clear. Plus, their servers crashed four times today, so it was physically impossible for everyone to get their filings in anyway...
