tax implication of affiliate checks
 

Becoming an affiliate these days is as easy as entering a corporate name and an address over the web...

Who is making the money? What if you later incorporate in another country and change the address of the check online...does anybody see potential problems with these kind of arrangements?

In your example XYZ corp is liable for the income. As long as XYZ is the affiliate and the checks are made to that corp.

Your question made me dizzy.

even that is a grey area. What if you incorporate a co. with the same name in a new country? The name doesn't change, but certainly the legal location has...
