Common mistakes

Missing the quarter system

Hawaii does not use one universal date for every LLC.

Treating annual report as a GET return

GET periodic and annual returns are filed with the Department of Taxation, not DCCA BREG.

Relying only on paper reminders

BREG says reminders transitioned to electronic notification.

Ignoring delinquent years

Delinquent annual reports can be filed online with late fees.
