Delaware Franchise Tax

Who has to file Delaware Franchise Tax?

Any Company incorporated in the State of Delaware, regardless of ownership, must file every year on March 1st, or receive an automatic $200 penalty. Delaware assesses an annual franchise tax for the privilege of doing business in the state. This return or "Annual Report" must be filed by March 1st with the state of Delaware each year, regardless on income or activity, as long as the business is registered in the state.
