What is Rhode Island Corporation Dissolution?

A Rhode Island Corporation is created when the RI Secretary of State approves the Articles of Incorporation. A record of the Rhode Island Corporation is added to the list of Corporations which have officially registered with the Rhode Island Secretary of State.  Once a Corporation is registered with the Rhode Island Secretary of State, that Corporation immediately has both reporting and tax obligations which incur penalties if the obligations are not met by the required deadlines.   more...

As soon as a Rhode Island Corporation is registered with the RI Secretary of State, that Corporation is responsible for recurring obligations of the Rhode Island Secretary of State and the Rhode Island Department of Revenue.  If the Rhode Island Corporation does not file reports or pay taxes then that RI Corporation could be responsible for penalties which go up as time goes by.

Unless you Dissolve your Rhode Island Corporation with the Rhode Island Secretary of State that RI Corporation will be responsible for all recurring fees and penalties.
