Vermont lesson 6 of 6
File the Vermont Annual Report
Vermont's ongoing filing is the annual report, due to the Secretary of State within three months after the close of each fiscal year, with a $45 fee.
What is due and when
Under 11 V.S.A. 4033, every domestic LLC must file an annual report with the Secretary of State within three months after the close of its fiscal year, along with a $45 fee. Most LLCs use a fiscal year ending December 31, which puts the report due by March 31, but check your specific fiscal year end in the Secretary of State's online business database.
File the annual report online through the Online Business Service Center. It confirms the LLC's registered agent, registered office and principal address on record.
If you miss it
Missing the annual report deadline can trigger a $25 late fee, and continued non-filing can lead to administrative termination of the LLC. A terminated LLC loses its good standing and the protection of its registered name until it is reinstated.
Confirm your LLC's fiscal year end in the online business database each year so you know exactly when your three-month window opens and closes.
Key takeaways
- The annual report costs $45 and is due within three months of the LLC's fiscal year end.
- Missing the deadline risks a $25 late fee, then administrative termination.
- File online through the Online Business Service Center and verify your fiscal year end there.
