Sec of State Jim Condos reminds businesses to file annual reports

Secretaryof State Jim Condos reminds Vermont businesses that if your business registration with the Division of Corporations/Business Services has a Fiscal Year End of December (i.e. FYE 12); your annual reports are due between January 1stand March 15th2012.
‘The December annual reports filing is our busiest time of year. We have sent out close to 40,000 notices to Vermont businesses informing them that it is time to file their annual report’, statedSecretaryCondos.
‘Maintaining your status as aVermontentity on an annual basis is an important part of your statutory responsibilities as a business inVermont. Furthermore, the process is quick and we encourage clients to file online.’
With a greater emphasis on reducing government waste, while being more environmentally conscious, Secretary Condos is asking Vermont businesses to file online rather than print the form and mail it in.
‘Saving a single sheet of paper, envelope and stamp may not sound like a lot, but the reduction in waste for 40,000 clients adds up quickly’, said Condos.
The Division of Corporations/Business Services is in the process of revamping its entire IT database to better serveVermontclients.
Secretary Condos added, ‘The current system is outdated, and has limitations that affect the quality of our customer service. We recognize that, and are moving forward with a complete replacement of the outdated system. We look forward to making the annual report process even easier and more user friendly in the years to come.’
