Missouri’s Tax Climate Increases Your Return on Investment
During the last three decades, one key factor in keeping the cost of doing business in Missouri low has been our ability to ensure that our state and local tax burden is as small as possible. And with a rate estimated at 9% of income today — well below the national average of 9.8% — Missouri’s low tax burden continues to be a key factor in helping Missouri businesses grow.

Missouri’s Corporate Income Tax rate ranked 8th in the nation according to the Tax Foundation’s State Business Tax Climate Index Rankings for 2012.
Missouri’s corporate income tax rate of 6.25% is applied to Missouri taxable income. In Missouri, this is the same as federal taxable income. Missouri allows 50% of federal income tax payments to be deducted before computing taxable income, leading to an effective tax rate of 5.2%.
A franchise tax also applies to Missouri corporations. That tax is 0.033% of the value of the proportion of the par value of shares or surplus greater than $1 million in Missouri. Governor Nixon recently signed Senate Bill 19 which freezes the franchise tax liability for companies at the Tax Year 2010 level and eliminates the tax entirely over the next five years.
A new corporation must pay an incorporation fee of $50 for the first $30,000 or less of shares and $5 for each additional $10,000 or portion thereof. A foreign corporation pays $150 for certification. Annual corporate registration fees must also be paid by domestic and foreign corporations doing business in Missouri. The rate is $40 annually for registration with the Secretary of State’s Office.
