Connecticut LLC annual tax or franchise tax

Does not apply Business Entity Tax (ended)

This is what the page read says about Business Entity Tax (ended), in its own words. It is a statement about that one tax. It is not a statement that Connecticut charges an LLC no tax of any kind.

“The Business Entity Tax (BET) no longer exists. Public Act 19-117 has ended the BET for any tax period beginning after 12/31/2018.”

Note from the reading The Department of Revenue Services says the Business Entity Tax, the entity-level tax formerly charged to LLCs, no longer exists. This statement covers that tax only; it is not a statement about income-based taxes such as the pass-through entity tax. See researcher_notes.

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.

Looked for and not read

  • Whether newspaper publication is required.
  • Whether the first annual report is due in the year of formation or the year after.

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.

DOUBT on tax.applies=false: the only official statement read is that the Business Entity Tax no longer exists. No official page was read that says in general terms that Connecticut charges LLCs no annual tax. If the generator needs a stricter reading, treat tax.applies as null and keep the note.

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.
