Airbnb, VRBO & Charter Payouts via a Wyoming LLC from Saint Martin
Why platforms prefer US entities
Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com and US charter platforms onboard US LLCs on a standard W-9 in days. A French SARL or Dutch NV triggers W-8BEN-E foreign-vendor paperwork and slower payouts — sometimes weeks.
The Wyoming LLC playbook for the island
- Form the LLC (48h) via our Saint Martin landing page
- Get EIN (max 10 business days)
- Open Mercury (3–5 business days)
- Update host / captain profile with LLC name + EIN + Mercury details
- Payouts arrive in USD, held in Mercury until you convert
Villa managers and charter captains
Villa managers running multiple listings on both French and Dutch sides use one Wyoming LLC as the single US-facing contracting and payout entity. Charter captains billing US guests get clean USD receipts without SXM banking friction.
Local reporting
Personal-income reporting stays with your side of the island — DGFiP (MF) or Belastingdienst Sint Maarten (SX). The LLC itself owes no US federal income tax if there is no US trade or business — only the annual Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120 information return. Our BASIC + IRS Filings plan handles it.
