Tax Services in Delaware for Small Businesses
Delaware runs one of the more unusual tax structures in the country: there's no state sales tax at all, but every corporation still owes an annual franchise tax regardless of activity, calculated under one of two methods that can produce very different bills for the same company.
Getting stuck on the more expensive method by default is one of the most common and avoidable costs we see. Profitjets calculates your franchise tax under whichever method actually costs less, files your gross receipts tax based on real revenue, and prepares your Delaware and federal income tax returns together.

Delaware tax questions
Corporations must file their annual report and pay franchise tax by March 1 each year. LLCs, LPs, and GPs pay their flat $300 tax by June 1 instead, with no annual report required.
You're likely being calculated under the Authorized Shares Method, which taxes based on shares authorized, not your actual assets or revenue. The Assumed Par Value Capital Method usually produces a much lower bill for early-stage companies, but you have to request it when filing.
Late filing triggers a $200 penalty plus 1.5% interest per month on the unpaid balance. Your business also loses good standing with the state, which can block financing or expansion into other states.
Yes. Franchise tax is a fee for maintaining your Delaware entity, not a tax on income or business activity in the state. Even a Delaware entity with zero activity still owes it every year until formally dissolved.
