Monday, Oct. 31 is the deadline for corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, voluntary associations and business trusts to file their annual reports and pay the annual filing fee.

The filings are required under West Virginia code.

Organizations that fail to file will be administratively revoked and may not continue to conduct business in West Virginia until they file reinstatement forms with the Secretary of State’s Office.

As of Friday October 28, there were more than 4,800 organizations that have not yet filed their report and are in danger of being revoked.
