FIRPTA withholding on a domestic LLC with foreign members/manager
8 May 2024 | 5 replies
Code § 7701 - Definitions, my understanding is that the answer is NO, but maybe I am wrong.As the actual rate of withholding is 15% of the sales price, and as the refund (if any) would be "within 90 days", it can be a major setback for my company´s flipping cash-flow because 15% is way higher than the taxable income (and of course than the tax itself), so we would be in the necessity of capital injections to flip the next properties.If any of you have comments on this, it would be very helpful.Thanks in advance
