Wyoming Annual Report Filing: $60 Minimum License Tax and Due Dates (2026)

Wyoming does not ask its businesses for a yearly renewal fee in the ordinary sense. It asks for an annual report paired with a license tax, and filing it is what keeps a company in good standing. Miss it, and the company first becomes delinquent, then faces administrative dissolution. This page explains when the report is due, how the tax is calculated, how to file, and what happens when a deadline passes.

When the Wyoming annual report is due

To remain in good standing, each business entity, domestic and foreign, is required to file an annual report and pay a fee based on its assets located and employed in Wyoming, or a flat filing fee where one applies. The due date for all registered business entities, with the exception of statutory trusts, is based on the anniversary month of formation. For example, if your business registers or qualifies on January 15, your annual report due date will be January 1 of each year.

That timing catches founders out, because the due date falls on the first day of the anniversary month, not on the formation date itself. A company formed late in a month owes its report at the start of that same month in later years. A report may be filed up to 120 days before its due date, so there is a wide window for filing early, and no reason to leave it to the final days.

How the license tax is calculated

Most entities use the same annual license tax schedule. The tax is $60 or two-tenths of one mill on the dollar ($0.0002) of the company’s assets located and employed in Wyoming, whichever is greater. An entity with $300,000 or less in Wyoming assets pays the $60 minimum. The Secretary of State’s own example shows the math: a company with $1,210,000 in Wyoming assets owes $242, because $1,210,000 multiplied by $0.0002 equals $242.

Not every entity type follows that formula. Nonprofit corporations pay a flat annual report fee of $25, and they are not required to provide information on their assets located and employed in Wyoming. Statutory trusts and statutory foundations pay an annual report fee of $100. Foreign entities of each type pay the same fee as their domestic equivalent, based on assets located in Wyoming.

How to file

Annual reports may be filed online using Visa or Mastercard credit cards, or Visa or Mastercard authorized debit cards. Registered business entities that are active can use the Annual Report Wizard to file an original annual report. A payment-processor convenience fee applies to online filing, assessed on the total license tax due. If the annual report fee is greater than $500, electronic filing is not permitted, and the report must be filed another way.

The Secretary of State sends courtesy email reminders 60, 30, and 10 days before the due date, using the email address on record. Those reminders come from the Secretary of State’s annual report address, so keeping the email on record current is part of staying compliant. Sams Business Standard includes compliance alerts, which add a second layer of reminders on top of the state’s own notices.

What happens if the report is late

The entity will be treated as delinquent on the second day of the month following its due date. If the annual report is not filed within 60 days following the due date, the entity will be administratively dissolved. Dissolution ends the company’s good standing and can block its ability to do business, hold accounts, and sign agreements until it is restored.

An entity dissolved for failure to file annual reports within the past two years, and which has no other delinquencies, may file for reinstatement online or generate reinstatement forms for mail-in processing. Wyoming statutes do not allow for reinstatement after two years in an administratively dissolved standing, so a missed report that is left for more than two years cannot be cured by reinstatement. Reinstatement for tax costs $100 for an LLC or profit corporation and $25 for a nonprofit corporation, while reinstatement for having no registered agent costs $350 for an LLC, $250 for a profit corporation, and $150 for a nonprofit corporation.
