外國人持有美國公司一定要注意5472表格申報!
如果您的美國公司屬於以下情形之一,別忽略 5472 表格申報:
✔公司在稅務年度內任一時點, 被單一外國人或外國實體股東直接或間接擁有 25% 以上股份;或
✔公司在稅務年度內任一時點,與相關聯的關係人發生可申報交易或往來
- 相關聯的關係人可以是外國或美國的相關人及公司,包括直接或間接的 25%外國股東、親屬或關聯公司等
- 可申報交易或往來包括銷售、貸款、租金或資本往來等
若未按規定提交、或提交但內容「嚴重不完整」視同未提交,將面臨每個未提交表格$25,000起的罰款。
美國註冊會計師 羅霞 提醒您,5472 只是資訊申報,不等於需要繳稅,
若公司為被忽略實體 (Disregarded Entity) 且是外國人擁有,
往往即便無收入、無營運,也要提交 Form 5472,這是許多人忽略的風險點!

Important Form 5472 Filing Requirements for U.S. Companies!
If your U.S. company falls under any of the following situations, do not overlook Form 5472 filing requirements.
✔ At any point during the tax year, the company is directly or indirectly owned 25% or more by a single foreign individual or foreign entity; or
✔ At any point during the tax year, the company engages in reportable transactions with a related party.
- Related parties can be foreign or U.S. persons or entities, including direct or indirect 25% foreign shareholders, relatives, or affiliated companies.
- Reportable transactions include sales, loan, rent, or capital contributions and distributions among others.
Failure to file as required, or filing with materially incomplete information, is treated as a failure to file and may result in penalties starting at $25,000 per missing form.
USCPA Luo Xia reminds you that Form 5472 is an information reporting requirement only and does not necessarily trigger a tax liability. If the company is a foreign-owned disregarded entity (DE), it often must file Form 5472 even if it has no income or business operations.
This is a commonly overlooked risk for many.
