Amazon kdp royalties
I spoke to a member of your team @James Baker and they advised that if it is a multi member LLC there is no 30% withholding tax. However, someone from Doola told me: forming an LLC, whether single-member or multi-member, generally doesn’t remove the 30% withholding on your KDP royalties. - Single-member LLC: for US tax purposes, it’s treated as the same taxpayer as its owner. So the royalties are still considered income of a foreign individual, and the 30% withholding still applies. - Multi-member LLC: KDP may stop withholding at the source, since the LLC is a US entity. However, the US tax obligation on royalties allocated to non-US owners usually shifts to the LLC itself, which then has its own withholding and reporting requirements. So the overall tax result is generally the same, and if the LLC doesn’t withhold, it can face penalties. Can you clarify which answer is correct and why?
