- The LLC annual report license tax is a minimum of $60 a year (or two-tenths of one mill on Wyoming assets, if greater), owed even with no profit.
- An LLC that does not pay its annual report within 60 days of the due date becomes subject to administrative dissolution, and reinstatement costs $100.
LLC fees and sales tax in Wyoming
- Forming an LLC: $100 state filing fee.
- Annual Report license tax: $60, every year, due by the first day of your anniversary month.
- Sales tax: 4% statewide, plus local rates in many cities and counties. Use the Sales Tax Calculator to price a sale.
A single-member LLC is taxed exactly like a sole proprietorship unless it elects S or C corporation status, so the self-employment tax figures on this page apply either way.
