Maine annual reports, deadlines, and fees
Start with your entity type below. Maine reporting schedules can differ for LLCs and corporations; a report may be annual, biennial, or not required for a particular entity type.
Open Maine filing agency ↗Maine LLC reports
Maine domestic LLC annual reports cost $85.00 and foreign LLC annual reports cost $150.00. Every annual report is legally due by June 1, with the first report due between January 1 and June 1 following the calendar year of formation or qualification and subsequent reports in each following year. The report maintains good standing and updates members, managers, agent/clerk, and office information.
Maine corporation reports
Maine business corporations file annual reports by June 1 each year. The accessible official annual-report reminder states the current fee is $85.00 for domestic business entities and $150.00 for foreign business entities; nonprofits pay $35.00. Maine does not mail reminders, although it may email the address on file. Failure to file can terminate good standing and trigger statutory penalties.
Maine franchise and business taxes
No separate Maine Secretary-of-State corporate franchise tax applies as a registry fee. Maine corporate income tax and other business taxes are administered by Maine Revenue Services and depend on taxable income, apportionment, and entity classification. Annual-report fees and any corporate filing penalties are separate from Maine income, sales, payroll, and local tax obligations.
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
Maine Title 13-B materials list a $25.00 annual-report penalty for nonprofit corporations, while business-entity late charges and certificate-of-revival amounts are form- and entity-specific. The public annual-report page emphasizes the June 1 deadline and good-standing consequences rather than one universal business-entity late fee. The live account should calculate the report, penalty, and any reinstatement total.
Administrative dissolution and notices
Maine can dissolve, revoke, or otherwise terminate an entity that fails to file annual reports, pay fees, or maintain a registered agent or clerk. The legal deadline is June 1 and the governing Title 13 statute and notices control the warning and cure sequence; the reviewed public page does not state one universal day count. Losing status can impair contracts, service, financing, and the ability to obtain a certificate of existence.
Reinstate a Maine business
Search Interactive Corporate Services and obtain the entity's current filing history and notices. File each delinquent annual report, correct the clerk or registered-agent and office information, and submit the applicable revival or reinstatement form; Maine's LLC Certificate of Revival is listed at $150.00. Pay all report fees, penalties, and expedited charges, confirm active status, and separately resolve Maine Revenue Services tax filings and balances.
Reinstatement costs and back taxes
Maine domestic LLC Certificate of Revival is listed at $150.00, plus each delinquent domestic $85.00 or foreign $150.00 annual report and any statutory penalty or service charge. Corporate revival and reinstatement amounts depend on Title 13-C forms. Maine tax back balances, interest, and penalties are separate Revenue Services liabilities and are not included in the Bureau's filing fees.
