If you have ever been audited by our friends at the IRS, you understand the expense and hassle of doing business with them.The State of Nevada is the only state in the nation that does not share information with the IRS. It has been noted by tax professionals that many audits are derived because information shared by the states with the IRS does not match up.
You privacy is further valued by the State of Nevada because they do not require a registration of stockholders. Your stockholders stay anonymous and are protected because their names do not show up on every website and list about your corporation.
"Bearer Shares" used to be a very common tool for promoting and expanding your business. In today's wired world, bureaucrats and tax agencies want to know everything about everyone so that they can ensure thorough collection of tax revenues. The advantage to Bearer Shares is that they are owned by whoever physically owns the stock/share and this information is kept between the corporation and the owner of the shares.
Assets held within a Nevada corporation are not required to be disclosed. Most states not only require disclosure of assets, they also tax you on those assets.
Lastly, your attorney can become the corporation's Officer and Director with you being the sole shareholder, thus almost ensuring complete anonymity.
