REINSTATE A NEVADA CORPORATION COMPLETE GUIDE
What is reinstatement and when do you need to reinstate a Nevada Corporation? If a Nevada Corporation has been deemed inactive or does not have a good standing then reinstatement is the process by which different types of business entities including a C Corporation can regain their active status or good standing in the state. This inactive status can be caused by many factors including failure to file an Annual List or the filing fee for the same, franchise tax or any other state taxes.
How do I reinstate my company?
Managing a business is never the easiest thing and even the smallest mistake like missing a deadline or failing to deliver an important business document like the annual list in the state of Nevada can prove to be costly. Failure to file relevant documents with the Secretary of State can lead to businesses being put in the “revoked status” list. Being in this list can have an adverse effect on the performance of the business and also on the clients the business caters to.
Is there a way out? Yes, you can reinstate a Nevada Corporation but prior to that you need to understand what are different business statuses in the state and so you will have to identify which status your business requires you to reinstate under.
The Default Status
A Nevada Corporation can be termed as having default status if it has failed to submit its annual list or annual report or has been unable to pay state fees by the due date. According to NRS 78.170, if any corporation in the state of Nevada that is required to file as well as pay the fee pursuant to NRS 78.150 to 78.185, inclusive, neglects or refuses to do so within the due date, it shall be deemed to be in default. As a result, a corporation will lose the corporate protection it enjoys in Nevada and such a corporation will be required to pay the fee and penalty to get “active status”.
The Revoked Status
If your Nevada corporation fails to file their annual report along with the fee for a period of one year as prescribed by NRS 78.150 then the business license or “good standing” status will be revoked. If a corporation fails to comply with requirements prescribed in NRS 78.152 – subsection 3, the Secretary of State can take any action deemed necessary and this includes the suspension or revocation of the corporate charter. In such a scenario, your Nevada Corporation will not be able to conduct business in the state and this may severely hamper overall growth of the business. Hence, it is important to apply for Nevada secretary of state reinstatement as soon as possible so that your business is back in “good standing” with the state and you can start conducting transactions with immediate effect.

Tax Clearance or Tax Good Standing before reinstating
There are several states in the USA that requires businesses to obtain a “Tax Good Standing” or “Tax Clearance” certificate prior to filing for a Nevada reinstatement. In the state of Nevada, it is known as a Tax Status Compliance Certificate or simply a Tax Compliance Certificate. This certificate is issued by the Nevada Department of Taxation to a Corporation, LLC or a Sole Proprietorship that meets its Nevada tax obligations.
You are probably wondering what a Tax Compliance Certificate really is. It is a written evidence of the fact that your business entity has cleared any or all taxes overdue by filing for the same with the Department of Taxation or Department of Revenue. It is also known by many names such as Nevada Certificate of Good Standing, Nevada Tax Status Letter, or Nevada Tax Clearance Certificate.
You have to get this certificate before filing to reinstate Nevada Corporation and you will require the following:
- A Domestic or Foreign business entity must be registered as a legal entity with the Secretary of State – Nevada
- The Nevada Corporation in question should have paid all types of Nevada state taxes as well as any outstanding fee or penalty.
- The Nevada Corporation should not be in default or on the suspended list of businesses
Once you apply for a Nevada Tax Clearance Certificate, the process can take from weeks to months but we at IncParadise can help in speeding up the process by contacting the Nevada Department of Taxation on your behalf.
