Hawaii LLC annual tax or franchise tax

not read

Not read. No official page was read that states whether Hawaii charges LLCs an annual, franchise or privilege tax separate from the annual report fee. The Business Registration Division pages read do not mention one.

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

Publication requirement

not read

Not read. No official page that was read states a publication rule either way.

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.

Formation fee recorded as the $50.00 filing fee; the same official page says 'There is an additional State Archives fee of $1.00', so the amount actually paid is $51.00. The fee-table quotes are table rows (cells: item, filing fee, expedited review). The annual report due date is quarter-based and tied to the registration date, so due_kind is 'anniversary' with the four quarter-end dates given in 'due'. publication.required=false rests on the absence of any publication step in the official instructions, not on an explicit official statement. PUBLICATION (orchestrator, 2026-09-28): recorded as not read. The researcher observed: No publication step appears in the division's instructions for registering a domestic LLC; this is read from absence, not from an explicit statement that none is required.

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.
