(LITTLE ROCK, ARK.) – Arkansas Secretary of State Mark Martin reminds businesses that the end of the year is approaching and there are a couple of important deadlines coming up.

If you are wanting to dissolve a business, the final date to formally dissolve and avoid accruing additional franchise taxes, is also December 31, 2017. Companies
that want to dissolve must submit all paperwork, postmarked by 12/31/2017, in
order for no additional taxes to accrue.
For your convenience, Articles of Dissolution may also be filed online 24/7 at https://www.ark.org/sos/corpfilings/index.php?form_id=66.
At the time of dissolution, every corporation shall
be required to pay the franchise tax for the prior
calendar year and the minimum franchise tax for
the year in which the business is dissolved or withdrawn. Even if a company is no longer in business, the corporation will continue to accrue franchise taxes until formally dissolved with the Arkansas Secretary of State.
