Vermont annual reports, deadlines, and fees
Start with your entity type below. Vermont reporting schedules can differ for LLCs and corporations; a report may be annual, biennial, or not required for a particular entity type.
Open Vermont filing agency ↗Vermont LLC reports
Vermont domestic LLC annual reports cost $45 and foreign LLC annual reports cost $170. The report is due within three months after the company's fiscal year ends under 11 V.S.A. §4033; it updates designated office and agent information and is separate from tax filings.
Vermont corporation reports
Vermont domestic corporation annual reports cost $60 and foreign corporation annual reports cost $250. The report is due within two and one-half months after the corporation's fiscal year ends and must list current registered office/agent and officers/directors.
Vermont franchise and business taxes
Vermont does not impose a separate Secretary of State franchise-tax calculation in the corporate registry. Vermont corporate income, business, payroll, and other taxes are administered by the Department of Taxes based on entity activity and income; those obligations are separate from annual-report fees.
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 Vermont statutes specify annual-report fees but do not state one universal late surcharge. Failure to file can cause involuntary termination or loss of authority; reinstatement adds the applicable reinstatement fee and every missed annual report, while tax agencies may assess separate interest and penalties.
Administrative dissolution and notices
Vermont may involuntarily terminate a corporation or LLC, or revoke a foreign authorization, for annual-report failure or other statutory defaults after notice and the applicable cure process. The exact timeline depends on entity type and fiscal-year due date; monitor state notices closely.
Reinstate a Vermont business
Search the status, file all missing annual reports, restore the registered agent/designated office, submit the entity-specific reinstatement filing, pay each missed report and the reinstatement fee, correct any statutory defects, and verify active status. Clear Department of Taxes and licensing matters separately.
Reinstatement costs and back taxes
Vermont LLC reinstatement is $35 plus every delinquent annual report; corporation reinstatement is $50 for each year the corporation failed to file, plus each annual-report fee. Add foreign/domestic report fees and separate taxes, interest, and penalties.
