Keeping it alive
Ongoing filings
Missouri requires no annual or periodic report for a standard LLC. No annual-report-based dissolution risk. Failure to maintain a registered agent can result in cancellation of registration.
State tax: No franchise tax. Missouri's corporate franchise tax was repealed effective for tax years beginning on or after 1 January 2016, and applied only to corporations under Chapter 351.
