“$25 annual fee”
I think it is about $800 annual fee for a corporation of any size to do business in my state of Florida.
I believe many other states also charge steeply to operate an incorporated business.
They all vary. Some states are $15 or $25. Some state annual reports operate like a Franchise Tax. WI, CT, IL, and VA are the worst. Tax can go into the thousands. But as I say, there they are taxing Capital apportionment. I’m talking about a fixed fee. For example:
Sales of
$0 - $1M $25
$1M - $5M $50
$5M - $10M $75
Over $10M $200
Something like that. Very simple, very easy. Tied to Line 1a of Form 1120.
