Basically, owners and shareholders of corporation business structures are not considered self-employed. Regardless of how you are self-employed, the primary characteristic is that your business cannot expand beyond your individual capacity.
Paying yourself as a corporation You'll receive regular paychecks like any other employee, and taxes will be withheld from your salary. Alternatively, you can receive dividends if the corporation generates profits. Dividends are payments made to shareholders based on their ownership percentage.
If you are an LLC member and you do some type of work for the company, generally you are not considered an employee of your own LLC. As an LLC member or an owner, the amount you withdraw from the LLC is not necessarily wage reported in Form W-2 (a form that shows annual wages).
A corporation will be considered a personal holding company if it meets both the Income Test and the Stock Ownership Test. The Income Test states that at least 60% of the corporation's adjusted ordinary gross income for the tax year is from certain dividends, interest, rent, royalties, and annuities.
A closely held corporation is a company with the majority of its shares owned by a few individuals. Shares are not traded publicly on an exchange and, therefore, cannot be purchased by the public. Those who control most of the shares have a significant influence on and control of the company.
Holding Companies The owners of an LLC, called members, can be either individuals or legal entities, such as S-corporations, C-corporations, trusts, and even other LLCs. One of the ways in which an S-corporation can own an LLC is as a holding company.
Shareholders, or stockholders, are the owners of a corporation. Shareholders can receive profits, in the share of dividends, or sell their shares in the market for a profit. They can also participate in corporate elections. Anyone can become a shareholder by buying stock in that company.
To sum it up, a holding company is a parent company that owns and controls other companies and in many cases does not produce any goods or services or conduct business operations of its own. Holding companies and operating companies are used by businesses of all sizes and in all industries.
A personal holding company (PHC) is a C corporation in which more than 50% of the value of its outstanding stock is owned (directly or indirectly) by five or fewer individuals and which receives at least 60% of its adjusted ordinary gross income from passive sources.
