DELAWARE ANNUAL REPORT AND FRANCHISE TAX UPDATE
The following is a general notification of the annual
report/franchise tax obligation to the State of Delaware. We will send an additional email notification,
once the franchise tax has been assessed and is payable for your entity type.
CORPORATIONS
The 2015 Delaware Corporate Franchise Tax
and Annual Report are due by MARCH 1, 2016.
Paper copies WILL NOT be mailed. Your 2015 Delaware Annual Report and Franchise Tax notification will be sent via electronic mail to
the email address of record.
The minimum franchise tax for
corporations using the Authorized Shares Method remains $175, while the minimum
franchise tax for corporations using the Assumed Par Value Capital Method is
unchanged at $350.
Electronic filing of the Annual
Report and Franchise Tax is
mandatory for corporations in Delaware. Failing to file a fully completed report, including the names and addresses of officers
and directors, and remit the proper payment on or before MARCH 1, 2016 will
result in penalty and/or interest charges being assessed by the State of
Delaware. Additionally, it will prevent your entity from obtaining a
certificate of good standing and will ultimately result in the State revoking
your charter.
LP/LLC/GP
The 2015 Delaware LP/LLC/GP Franchise Tax
is due by JUNE 1, 2016.
The alternative entity tax of $300 is unchanged. Any entity which fails to submit the total
tax amount due by the June 1, 2016 filing deadline will be assessed a late
penalty and/or interest charges by the State of Delaware.
Limited Partnerships, Limited
Liability Companies and General Partnerships are not required to file an annual
report but are responsible to pay the franchise tax.
***
Will your entity continue? Unless a certificate of
cancellation, dissolution or merger has been filed with the State by the end of
calendar year 2015, every Corporation or LP/LLC/GP is required to file the Annual Report and/or pay the Franchise Tax.
How to pay: Online payment will be available, once the
franchise tax has been assessed, typically after January 1 for Corporations and
after March 1 for LP/LLC/GP's. The Annual
Report form, used by corporations to file the Annual Report and Franchise Tax
will be available on our website. Login
to our secure website, using your email address of record and password, then
select Pay Franchise Tax / EZ File from our navigation menu. Contact us if you need assistance with the
process.
