Who must file in Vermont
Domestic and foreign corporations, LLCs, and nonprofit corporations registered in Vermont.
The filing is separate from the entity’s income tax return, sales tax return, and payroll filings. Being current with the annual report does not by itself mean the entity is current on its taxes, and vice versa.

How to file the Vermont annual report
- Confirm the entity and registered agent. Use the name and entity number on file with the Vermont Secretary of State, Corporations Division. Confirm the registered agent and principal office are current.
- Gather the required information. Most reports ask for the principal office, registered agent, and the names or addresses of officers, directors, managers, or members.
- Prepare and review the report. Use the state’s online filing system or the current paper form. Review the entity type and filing period before submitting.
- Pay the state fee. The fee is paid to the state, separate from any service fee charged by our office. Save the confirmation and filed copy.
- Calendar the next deadline. Add the next annual or biennial due date to the entity calendar, and coordinate it with the registered agent and tax calendars.
What happens if the Vermont report is late?
A late Vermont annual report can lead to loss of good standing and administrative dissolution. Additional fees may apply.
If the entity has already lost good standing, reinstatement is usually a separate filing with its own fee. The longer the report remains unfiled, the more likely the state is to dissolve, revoke, or administratively terminate the entity.
Vermont filing notes
Vermont ties the annual report deadline to the entity’s fiscal year rather than a single statewide date. A calendar-year corporation generally files by the middle of March, while an LLC has a slightly longer window.
The state filing fee is modest, but the report still matters for good standing. The report confirms the registered agent and principal office and is separate from Vermont income, sales, and payroll tax filings.
