Do you know the Tax Gotchas for C Corps?
I was looking into C Corp structures and tax implications, trying to do some financial modelling of differences between US and our Australian system.
I would write this as a reply to https://www.indiehackers.com/forum/llc-or-c-corp-for-aliens-bcfa6cad93 but cannot comment on that old a thread.
I just read the 2015 series of three articles by Todd Ganos Venture Capital Tax Death For Start-Up Founders which clarified the gotchas and essential steps to avoid major tax problems if you sell shares in a C corp.
Do you know the meaning and implications of:
- unvested RSPA shares
- 83(b) election
- 409A valuation
It would be great also if anyone with deep knowledge can confirm his statement about a C corp Other than a few exceptions, a conscious decision to convert to a C corporation likely means that you are targeting publicly traded companies as buyers of your firm.
