RA REQUIREMENTS IN MICHIGAN

Screen Shot 2016-09-30 at 9.21.24 AM.png

In Michigan State, a registered agent must be included in the Articles of Organization. This is a person or company that is appointed by the entity to receive any documents, notices, or service of process (SOP) on behalf of the entity. CLASCORP™ is an affiliate of NRAI and offers registered agent services throughout the nation. With over a million SOP’s deliveries to date, clients can trust NRAI to handle all of their critical Service of Process documents with care and reliability.

Recent legislative changes now require Limited Partnerships to complete an individual form for registered agent address changes in Michigan. All other entity forms are able to update their RA address via a bulk filing.

Last day to file: August 15, 2016

If you have a business in Nevada (NV), the next Commerce Tax will affect you. Every NV business is required to file a Commerce Tax Return by August 15th, regardless of liability.

The Nevada department of taxation explains that “A $4,000,000 is the standard amount a business entity is allowed to deduct from its Nevada gross revenue before the Commerce Tax is imposed. It reduces the business entity’s revenue subject to tax but it does NOT exempt the business entity from the filing requirement.”
