Late Fees: Oklahoma will assess corporations 10% of the total franchise tax due. In addition, 1.25% interest will continue to accrue each month a tax return is not filed. LLCs and LPs are not charged late fees. However, if you fail to file an annual certificate, your business will no longer be in good standing. *The filing fee for corporations and nonprofit corporations will be determined by their total franchise tax. Foreign corporations and nonprofits must also include an additional $100 Registered Agent Fee. |
Don’t remember when you formed your Oklahoma LLC or LP? You can easily find your anniversary date by searching the Oklahoma Business Database. It will be listed under the heading “Formation date.”
How do I calculate my Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax?
For every $1,000 of revenue your business earns, Oklahoma’s Annual Franchise Tax will charge you $1.25.
Example: Lets say you own a cute little diner in Tulsa that earns $500,000 each year. Your total franchise tax would be $625 (500 X 1.25).
If your total tax due is $250 or less, you will be exempt from paying the tax. However, you will still be required to submit the tax return. In addition, foreign corporations and nonprofits must also pay a $100 Registered Agent Fee. The maximum franchise tax a corporation will pay is $20,000.
