Would a non-resident alien (no connection to the US apart from the company) owning founder/CEO stock (not stock options) of a private US corporation have to pay capital gains tax in the event that the company was acquired?

Background: I incorporated a US company and have issued myself (and others) stock (employee stock plan that is actual stock, not options) in the company for $0.001c (or a similar low price) when we started. The company's revenue is 100% from US based customers.

  • You should probably talk to an accountant who's familiar with the US tax law, your home country tax law, and the tax treaty between the US and your home country.
