Utah Annual Report

What Is a Utah Annual Report?

A Utah Annual Report is a business filing that all registered businesses operating in Utah must file each year to keep their business registration current with the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code. This includes both domestic and foreign businesses. Annual reports are due at the end of your business’s anniversary month and cost $18 to file.

If you file late, but within 30 days of your due date, you must pay a $10 late fee. If you file more than 30 days late, you must reinstate your business, which requires an additional filing and a $54 fee. All of the information provided on your annual report is available to the public through the Utah Business Search.

About the Utah Annual Report

In Utah, your annual report basically renews your business registration for another year. You can also update some information about your business without having to pay an additional fee. So, what information do you have to include and what information can you update?

Required Information

On your annual report, you’ll need to list:

• Your entity number
• Your entity type
• Your expiration date (anniversary of the date your business was formed).

You’ll also need to pay a renewal fee of $18. If you’re filing late, you’ll also need to provide your “late date,” which is the date your report became overdue (in other words, the date your report was originally due), plus the late fee of an additional $10.

What Information Can You Update?

You can update the following information about your business:

• Your business purpose
• Your registered agent and/or you registered agent’s address
• Your principal address
• Add/remove individuals

What Information Goes on the Public Record?

All of the information on your annual report, along with any changes you make, goes on the public record.

How to File Your Annual Report in Utah
