Spot-on. Also, don't get me started on mobile internet and broadband. Every time I go to America it's like going to a 3rd world country.

* You could have saved yourself a load of headache and incorporate in Delaware.

* If you don't have a physical office in each state you don't have a presence there. You shouldn't have needed to pay sales tax. Amazon only pays taxes in states they have a physical presence (warehouse, office, callcenter).

Is this a test of whether anyone actually reads these articles? Every 3rd paragraph has a viagra spam-link inserted in the middle of a sentence.

Not for me it doesn't. Try running a virus scan on your machine?

I think you need to run some anti-spy ware software on your computer. I don't see any ads of that sort on the blog page.

Yes, American cities are literally akin to 3rd world countries.

Yup, I'm skeptical of the OP's tax advice. With the right direction this should have been a very easy transition, especially with what looks like a SaaS business.

Eh.. What? Are you commenting on the wrong article by chance? I don't see any of that. If you're even remotely serious I'd take a good look at your machine/system.
