Pennsylvania Annual Report Requirements Have Changed: What Business Owners Need to Know
Pennsylvania business owners now face new filing rules that directly affect compliance. As of 2025, the Pennsylvania Department of State requires most business entities to submit annual reports—replacing the old decennial (once every 10 years) report system.

Why This Matters
Annual reports aren’t just another piece of paperwork—they safeguard your business identity. Staying compliant ensures that your public record is accurate, protects your access to loans and licenses, and prevents costly interruptions like administrative dissolution.
Key Deadlines
- Corporations: Annual reports are due by June 30th each year
- LLCs: Annual reports are due by September 30th each year
This shift means that filing is no longer a once-in-a-decade task—it’s now a yearly responsibility.
Transition Timeline
To ease the adjustment, the Department of State will not begin administrative dissolutions until 2027. Through 2026, businesses won’t risk termination if a filing is missed.
Starting in 2027, however, the stakes rise:
- If an annual report is not filed by the due date, businesses could face termination within six months.
