First tax year with Stripe Atlas
For a supposedly business-friendly country, the USA certainly seems to have a bunch of fees.Tarsnap is incorporated in BC, Canada.  I pay less than $50 to file an annual report with the government (basically just a "the company still exists and the mailing address and directors haven't changed"); there's no franchise tax; and Tarsnap's corporate income tax is easy enough for me to do by hand (it takes about 2 hours and I usually file in the first week of January).The notion of spending $1000/year just to keep a company in existence seems crazy to me.
