What you need to know:

You must submit a CL-1 and a $25 minimum License Fee to the SCSOS if you are a:
• domestic corporation filing your initial Articles of Incorporation, or
• foreign corporation filing an Application for Certificate of Authority to Transact Business in South Carolina.
For faster results, submit your CL-1, and pay the $25 minimum License Fee online at sos.sc.gov/online-filings when
registering a business with the SCSOS.
If you did not register with the SCSOS, you must still submit the CL-1 and the $25 minimum License Fee to the South Carolina
Department of Revenue (SCDOR) within 60 days after commencing business in South Carolina or using a portion of your
capital in the state if you:
• are taxed as a corporation, and
• aren't exempt under SC Code Section 12-20-110, available at dor.sc.gov/policy.
LLCs should only complete the CL-1 if they're taxed as a corporation.
To submit the CL-1 to the SCDOR while registering a new business, use our online tax portal, MyDORWAY.dor.sc.gov. Select
Business Tax Application to get started. During the registration process, you'll be prompted to pay the $25 minimum License Fee.
Submit your completed CL-1 to the SCDOR as a web message by logging in to MyDORWAY.dor.sc.gov, selecting the More tab, then
clicking Send the SCDOR a Message.

securing proper identification. Your Social Security Number is used for identification purposes.
