What makes Vermont different

  • VT AR fee: $35 LLC / $45 Corp (LLC cheaper than Corp. Uncommon).
  • AR due within 3 MONTHS of fiscal year end (NOT calendar-fixed). For calendar-year filers: due by March 31 (some sources say Mar 15).
  • LLC formation $125 flat (mid-range US).
  • PERSONAL INCOME TAX progressive 4-bracket: 3.35% / 6.6% / 7.6% / 8.75% top
  • CORP INCOME TAX graduated 3-tier: 6.0% / 7.0% / 8.5% top
  • NO standard deduction; NO personal exemption for personal income tax. Unusual. Vermont relies on federal AGI starting point.

  • Series LLC NOT permitted in Vermont.
