Missouri annual reports, deadlines, and fees
Start with your entity type below. Missouri reporting schedules can differ for LLCs and corporations; a report may be annual, biennial, or not required for a particular entity type.
Open Missouri filing agency ↗Missouri LLC reports
Missouri LLCs generally do not file a recurring annual report with the Secretary of State, but they must maintain a registered agent, office, and current public record. The Department of Revenue and local agencies may impose separate tax or license filings. If a particular LLC form or special entity has a report requirement, the record and statute control.
Missouri corporation reports
Missouri corporations doing business in the state file an annual registration report. For entities incorporated or qualified on or after July 1, 2003, it is due at the end of the incorporation or qualification month; older corporations use the month shown on the prior report. The current schedule lists $45.00 for timely paper and $20.00 online for-profit reports, with online filing saving $25.00. A late report adds $15.00 for each 30-day period.
Missouri franchise and business taxes
Missouri does not use a Delaware-style annual authorized-share franchise tax through the Secretary of State. Missouri corporations may owe corporate income tax and other Department of Revenue obligations based on income, apportionment, and classification. The incorporation fee itself is capital-based, and annual registration, late fees, and taxes are separate 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
Missouri corporate annual reports incur an additional $15.00 for each 30-day period late. The normal report fee is $20.00 online or $45.00 paper for a for-profit corporation under the current schedule. Continued failure leads to administrative dissolution of a domestic charter or revocation of a foreign certificate, while tax penalties and interest are separate.
Administrative dissolution and notices
Missouri may administratively dissolve a domestic corporation or revoke a foreign certificate for failure to file annual reports, pay fees, or maintain required information. The public pages describe the consequence but not one universal day-by-day warning schedule; the entity's notices and statutes control. A dissolved corporation's name is protected from reuse for one year after dissolution, and the entity loses active status and good-standing evidence.
Reinstate a Missouri business
Search the Missouri record and identify the dissolution reason. File every past-due annual report, correct the registered agent and office, submit the reinstatement package and any tax-clearance form required, and pay the reinstatement, report, late, and document fees. Missouri's official guidance specifically says all past-due reports must accompany a cure for report-based dissolution. Confirm active status and order a certificate.
Reinstatement costs and back taxes
Missouri reinstatement totals depend on entity type, the $15-per-30-day annual-report penalties, missing reports, and the current reinstatement/document fee; the accessible public page does not reduce every case to one flat total. Corporate income tax, Missouri Department of Revenue balances, interest, and penalties are separate and may require tax clearance.
