13.1-1062. Assessment of annual registration fees; annual registration fees to be paid by domestic and foreign limited liability companies.

A. Each year, the Commission shall assess against every domestic limited liability company, and every foreign limited liability company registered to transact business in the Commonwealth, an annual registration fee of $50, and each such limited liability company shall pay into the state treasury the annual registration fee herein imposed, in accordance with subsection B.

The annual registration fee shall be imposed irrespective of any specific license tax or other tax or fee imposed by law upon the limited liability company for the privilege of carrying on its business in the Commonwealth or upon its franchise, property or receipts.

B. The Commission shall enter an order establishing the schedule for assessment of limited liability companies and payments due for such assessment. Such order shall provide either:

1. That each year the Commission shall ascertain from its records each domestic limited liability company and each foreign limited liability company registered to transact business in the Commonwealth, as of July 1 of each year, and shall assess against each such limited liability company the annual registration fee imposed in subsection A, and, except as provided in subsection C, that each such limited liability company shall pay the assessment due into the state treasury on or before September 30 in each year after the calendar year in which it was formed or registered to transact business in the Commonwealth; provided that the initial annual registration fee to be paid by a domestic limited liability company created by conversion shall be due in the year after the calendar year in which it converted; or

2. That each year the Commission shall ascertain from its records each domestic limited liability company and each foreign limited liability company registered to transact business in the Commonwealth as of the first day of the second month next preceding the month in which it was organized or registered to transact business in the Commonwealth, and, except as provided in subsection C, that the limited liability company shall pay the assessment due into the state treasury on or before the last day of the twelfth month next succeeding the month in which it was organized or registered to transact business in the Commonwealth, and by such date in each year thereafter; provided that the initial annual registration fee to be paid by a domestic limited liability company created by conversion shall be due in the year after the calendar year in which it converted.

C. At the discretion of the Commission, the annual registration fee due date for a limited liability company may be extended, on a monthly basis for a period of not less than one month nor more than 11 months, at the request of its registered agent of record or as may be necessary to distribute annual registration fee due dates of limited liability companies as equally as practicable throughout the year on a monthly basis.

D. A statement of the assessment, when made, shall be forwarded by the clerk of the Commission to the Comptroller and to each domestic and foreign limited liability company.

E. Registration fee assessments that have been paid shall not be refunded.

F. The fees paid into the state treasury under this section and the fees collected under 13.1-1005 shall be set aside and paid into the special fund created under 13.1-775.1, and shall be used only by the Commission as it deems necessary to defray the costs of the Commission and of the office of the clerk of the Commission in supervising, implementing, administering and enforcing the provisions of this chapter. The projected excess of fees collected over the costs of administration and enforcement so incurred shall be paid into the general fund prior to the close of each fiscal year, based on the unexpended balance of the special fund at the end of the prior fiscal year. An adjustment of this transfer amount to reflect actual fees collected shall occur during the first quarter of the succeeding fiscal year.
