(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release from the Pennsylvania Department of State, Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt let business owners in the state know that on Monday, a new annual report went into effect. Businesses that have to complete this report include nonprofit and business corporations, limited partnerships and liability general partnerships. Business trusts, professional associations and limited liability companies also have to participate.

Schmidt states that it takes a fee of $7 to include the business name, jurisdiction, registered office address, principal office address, name of at least one governor, officer names (if any), and Department of State file number. The deadlines are until June 30 for corporations, September 30th for limited liability companies and the rest until December 31st. An email will be sent by the Department of State to remind a business of their deadline.

Schimdt also confirms that the failure to file an annual report will result in the administrative dissolution, termination, or cancellation of the business registration, starting in 2027.
