Hawaii annual reports, deadlines, and fees
Start with your entity type below. Hawaii reporting schedules can differ for LLCs and corporations; a report may be annual, biennial, or not required for a particular entity type.
Open Hawaii filing agency ↗Hawaii LLC reports
Hawaii domestic and foreign LLC annual reports cost $15.00, with a scheduled $25.00 expedited option. The due quarter is tied to the original registration date: entities registered January-March are due March 31; April-June, June 30; July-September, September 30; and October-December, December 31. An entity registered in the same calendar year in which its report would otherwise be due is generally not required to file that year's report. The report provides public business information and no financial statements.
Hawaii corporation reports
Domestic and foreign profit corporations file annual reports for $15.00, with a scheduled $25.00 expedited option. The deadline follows the same registration quarter structure: March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31, with the first-year exception described by BREG. Nonprofit corporations use the Chapter 414D schedule and generally pay $5.00. Annual reports update public information and are separate from Hawaii tax returns.
Hawaii franchise and business taxes
No separate Hawaii Secretary-of-State corporate franchise tax applies. BREG's registration, annual-report, and document fees are not a franchise tax. Hawaii corporate income and other tax obligations are administered by the Department of Taxation and depend on taxable income, apportionment, entity classification, and applicable federal and state rules; tax clearance and dissolution obligations must be handled separately.
A registry report and a tax filing can have different deadlines and payment recipients. Check both before considering the year complete.
Late fees and missed-report penalties
The reviewed BREG 2026 fee schedules specify annual-report filing fees and reinstatement fees but do not state a single universal flat late-report penalty in the accessible pages. A delinquent entity can lose good standing, incur additional annual-report charges, and become subject to administrative action. The record should be checked in the current BREG portal or Hawaii Revised Statutes before quoting a penalty amount for a particular entity.
Administrative dissolution and notices
Hawaii may administratively revoke or dissolve an entity that fails statutory reports, fees, or registered-agent requirements. BREG's accessible public guidance does not provide one universal day-by-day timeline for every LLC and corporation; notices and the applicable Chapter 414 or 428 statute control. Delinquency can impair good standing and service of process before final dissolution, so the entity should cure promptly rather than wait for the final notice.
Reinstate a Hawaii business
Search the BREG record and identify every delinquent annual report, agent issue, and notice. File each missing annual report and pay the applicable $15.00 report fee and any live-system charges. File the appropriate application for reinstatement, currently $25.00 plus any selected expedited fee, restore a qualified Hawaii agent and physical office, and confirm active status after acceptance. Separately clear Hawaii Department of Taxation, employment, licensing, and federal obligations; BREG reinstatement is not a tax clearance.
Reinstatement costs and back taxes
BREG's LLC and domestic-profit-corporation schedules list a $25.00 base reinstatement fee and a $25.00 expedited-review option. The total can include all delinquent annual reports, agent or document charges, and any statutory or portal-assessed delinquency amounts. Hawaii tax balances, interest, penalties, and licensing liabilities are assessed by the responsible agencies and are not included in the BREG reinstatement fee.
