You should consult a tax professional in NZ for the specifics.  I would assume that if you pay all the taxes due in the US, you shouldn't have to pay anything over there.  INCOME tax should be paid where you make the income, which is a business in the states.  NZ shouldn't be able to tough it.

Yes you would be able to clain it as a business. As for all the other questions here they come at ya.!\nyou will pay taxes on the money that you brought in to the company, you will also need to have a name for your company. Your deductions can include the computers, wires, internet bills, telephone bills, business cell phone bill that relates to the business, pen, pencils, printing of the brochures, and business cards, etc.keep a ledger of items that you pay for (ex. office supplies, computer hardware, utilities, bank charges (other than the personal account has to be a seprate acct.) Postage ( for bills, and late payments) software, advertising. You can also deprecitate your hardware for a period of time, (ex. computer, printer, etc.)\nThe forms would be located on the www.irs.gov web site. Take the journal, payments that were given to you (checks, recipt for cash etc) Bank statements, all info pertaining to the business your cards the brochures. If you were paid cash then you need a recipt showing that you were paid in cash. I hope this helps. Good luck

The safest (and maybe smartest) way to approach this is to look into filing a 1040ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals.  It helps you estimate what your income not subject to withholding (such as your business) will be, and to calculate the estimated tax payment so you can make quarterly payments to the IRS.\n\nThis is advisable because if you under-withhold based on your income, you can be penalized by the IRS for it.  Here is a link to the form and its instructions.  You'll need Adobe Acrobat and/or its web plug-in to view it:

I can't comment on Canadian tax law.  The American (I'll interpret that to mean US citizen) is subject to US tax law regardless of residence or source of income.  The link below is an IRS FAQ for US Citizens living Abroad.  I saw at least 3 questions that specifically mention Canada.  I don't know any of the rules, but this should be a good place to start researching.

Hi here Pasil, I Live in New Zealand and it is awesome. You can try a website called netcheck. It has alot of jobs for you and your background. We are very short of workers here so as long as you have a trade it is very easy to immigrate here at the moment. Another place to look is seek.co.nz. I make my money online and will give you my web address as well. Hope this helps you. To your new life Here.

There's no hard and fast rule on this. Certainly small amounts of selling your used stuff is totally fine and you won't get any income tax liability. Basically, they already taxed you for the money you used to buy it, and you won't get as much for it as you paid in the first place. However, if you sell enough stuff that it moves from hobby to business, and you sell things online in order to make a profit, particularly if you buy wholesale things and sell them, you are running a business and need to declare the profits.

It depends on where you live. Look it up at IRS.GOV

It depends on your salary, the more you earn, the higher your salary taxes.\nit also depends on where do u live. It seems there is a tax to  the US government, another tax to the state, and a tax to your city or town. The total tax depends on where do you work.\nFor example, if you earn about 50,000 USD/year in New York city, you will pay a total tax of 29%. \nThis 29% may be less if u go to another city or state, or if your salary is less.\n\nSearch the internet for taxes calculations and tables for different states.

Yes. Though you can choose on whom do you want to pay, USA (who will share the income with Australia) or Australia.

you don't have to charge taxes for online purchases, however you might want to register yourself as a business in your city/state/county.  it's not too expensive, but it gives you a tax id number for filing purposes.  but if all you're going to do is online--exclusively--i wouldn't be in a big rush to register, honestly.  but remember, that if you don't, you also can't get reimbursed for any expenses that you have, and if it's the only job you're going to have, you might want to be able to prove that at some point.

If you are an employee, salary sacrifice your pay. Take some of your salary as a laptop, extra superannuation etc.\n\nIf you run a business, incorporate it, and make sure you have a Personal Services Business, in accordance with the Alienation of Personal Services Income legislation.\n\nCompanies only pay a tax rate of 30%, but if you provide personal services, you'll end up having that company income attributed to your personal tax.\n\nYou can also minimise personal tax by hiring a really expensive accountant. They come up with the most creative ideas.

I live in NY State (highest taxes in the USA). I'm single but I do have a bf. I own my home and a few acres of land. I'm very comfortable and make $85,000 a year. My bf makes $70,000 a year.

It does not matter where you work.  Whatever entity you set up, you will wish to take profits out of the business to live on, right?  In that case, you will have to pay NY taxes becaus that is where you live.  Remember, not all free advice is worth the money!  (Think about it.)\n\nYou should consult with a NY CPA, who will be able to advise you best.  Do not rush to a low-tax jurisdiction without considering the effect on your own personal return.  Ultimately, that is the bottom line.

It depends on how cooperative the bank in Bermuda is.  If they value your business and won't disclose the details, then the money is not taxed.  This is technically illegal and people might get to wondering how you got that 100k and you might get an investigation later on, but lots of Americans illegally make offshore accounts.  Are you (or whoever it is) feeling lucky? :)

It all depends on what city you're in. \n\nFederal tax is going to take 20-30% of your check and many states and cities levy additional local taxes so your net salary will be around $2000-3000/month. Let's just say $2500.\n\nIf you are in the NYC, DC or LA areas, your rent will be $1000 or more. \n\nSo that leaves $1500 or so for electric bill, phone, food, car if you have one, etc...\n\nBut if you live in a different city the cost of your rent will be lower.  And depending on what kind of job you will be doing, you may be able to negotiate for a greater salary because $50,000/year is not too high for the IT industry unless you are doing entry-level stuff.\n\n\nCheck these links for salary calculator and cost of living calculator.

I believe the government is allowed to access information from the landlord, and the person's bank account in this instance. There are no legal ways to evade tax. If you invest the money, you may be able to minimise your tax, but as I am from Australia and our tax laws are different to yours, I can't say for certain. \n\nThe American tax laws take up 1.2 million pages, so I'm sure they have covered everything.

Hi there.  The taxation system here seems complicated - I'm in the process of looking for work in France.  The rates depend on your family situation and whether you are self employed or employed.  It is bureaucratic to register here as a business and there is a crackdown on people who are working for 'cash in hand'.  National Insurance contributions are high - up to 40% and then there is income tax on top (maybe 20%) + you will need to top up on health insurance.  If you are getting an income from UK - say from a property rental or investments then that would need to be declared in France.  If you aren't fully resident here then you can continue to pay your taxes in England under the common agreement (can't remember its name). I don't have all the answers yet by any means, but like you, have taken the plunge!  Most ex-pats I know have used the David Hampshire books as their starting point but you might need specialist advice.  Living France and other such magazines have listings and there are Anglo-info websites for the regions with contacts too.  All the very best with your move.
