State tax registration
Wyoming Payroll Tax Registration
Where to register, how long it takes, and what to send us.
No state income tax, so there is no withholding account to open.
State unemployment insurance
Unemployment insurance account (WYUI: Register New Business with DWS)
Wyoming Department of Workforce Services (DWS)
- You'll receive:
- One WYUI registration sets up both unemployment insurance and state workers' comp. New employers get an industry-based UI rate on the first $33,800 of each employee's wages.
- Send Unify:
- Your WYUI employer account number and your rate notice.
Register before you report wages, or DWS assigns the 8.5% maximum base rate. Save the registration summary as a PDF when you finish.

State-run workers' compensation coverage (same WYUI registration)
Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, Workers' Compensation
- You'll receive:
- A statement of workers' comp coverage. Wyoming requires it before anyone starts work in the state, and businesses that may be exempt still have to register.

Workers' comp in Wyoming is state-run and mandatory, not private insurance.
