Arkansas LLC annual tax or franchise tax

not read

Not read. The $150.00 annual franchise tax is the same filing and the same payment as the annual report, so it is recorded under report, as the contract directs. No official page read today says whether any further annual LLC tax applies.

Not read is not the same as no tax. It means no official page was read that says whether Arkansas charges an LLC an annual, franchise or privilege tax separate from the report fee.

Publication requirement

not read

Not read. No official page read today states whether a newspaper publication is required of a new LLC; the formation pages read list no publication step.

The researcher's notes

Written by the researcher who read the pages, unedited. Field names such as due_kind are the names in this site's data file.

Arkansas's yearly obligation for an LLC is a franchise TAX, filed as the 'Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report'. Because it is one filing with one amount it sits under report and tax.applies is null; a page that shows 'annual tax: not read' for Arkansas should point at the report row, which IS the franchise tax. The franchise tax page: 'requires all Corporations, LLC's, Banks, and Insurance Companies registered in Arkansas to pay an annual franchise tax.'

Fees change. The state's own page is the authority: open the source link beside a figure before you file or pay. This desk is a reading of public pages. It is not legal advice and it is not tax advice.
