Wyoming Annual Report Filing: Deadlines, Fees, and the License Tax
Wyoming's annual report is a license tax on in-state assets, due your anniversary month, with a $60 minimum. Deadlines, cost, and what happens if you miss it.
The one filing every Wyoming entity owes each year
Wyoming keeps ongoing compliance light, but one recurring obligation you cannot skip: the annual report. Every LLC and corporation files it with the Secretary of State once a year. Missing it is the most common way an otherwise healthy company falls out of good standing.
When it is due
The report is due on the first day of your entity's anniversary month, the month you originally formed or registered. A company formed on March 12 files by March 1 each year thereafter. There is no separate reminder you are entitled to rely on. The date is yours to track.
What it costs, and why the number varies
Wyoming's annual report is a license tax, not a flat fee. It is calculated on the value of the assets the company holds and uses in Wyoming, with a minimum of $60 for most small entities. Companies with few or no Wyoming-based assets pay at or near the minimum. Because it scales with in-state assets, confirm the right figure for your company rather than assuming it. The Secretary of State's schedule governs.
What happens if you miss it
Miss the deadline and the state can move your entity out of good standing and, eventually, dissolve it administratively. Reinstating is possible but adds cost and paperwork. In the meantime your standing can complicate banking, financing, and contracts. Our corporate compliance program tracks the anniversary date and prepares and files the report so the deadline is not something you have to hold in your head.
