Foreign (out-of-state) LLCs and corporations registered in Missouri

  • LLC: Foreign LLCs registered in Missouri also file no annual report
  • Corporation: Foreign corporations file the same annual registration report, due the month they qualified, same fees; non-filing leads to revocation of the certificate of authority

Good to know

  • Missouri LLCs have no annual report and Missouri's corporate franchise tax no longer applies, so a Missouri LLC has no recurring Secretary of State filing.
  • Missouri's $5 technology-fund add-on (RSMo 351.127) is scheduled to expire December 31, 2026; corporate report fees could drop by $5 ($10 biennial) in 2027 unless the legislature extends it.
