Delaware Corporations: Annual Franchise Tax Report Due March 1, 2005 Yes, it is that time again - meaning, there is no longer time to delay! For Delaware Corporations, March 1st is the deadline for submission of the Annual Franchise Tax Report and payment of franchise tax! This deadline is met only by having your filing received by Delaware no later than March 1, 2005.
The Report filing fee is $25.00, the minimum Franchise Tax is $35.00 and the maximum yearly tax is $165,000.00, and can be calculated right from your computer on the Delaware Department of State: Division of Corporations website, www.state.de.us/corp/taxcalc2003.xls!
Delaware has not only provided a franchise tax calculator for your convenience, but Delaware has also become fully electronic! You can now FILE your Annual Franchise Tax report ONLINE and PAY your Franchise Tax using a visa, mastercard or discover card, at http://ecorp1.state.de.us!
If you plan on mailing your filing and payment, please remember that the documents and payment must be received by March 1, 2005 (postmark of March 1, 2005 will likely be considered late as it would be unlikely that the documents could be received on the same day-unless using same day courier) at either of the following addresses:
Mailing Address: Delaware Division of Corporations, PO Box 74072, Baltimore, MD 21274-4072, or
Courier Address: State of Delaware, Division of Corporations, 7833 Walker Drive, 3rd Floor, Greenbelt, MD 20770
Should your filing and payment be received later than the March 1st deadline, the Corporation will be assessed a $100.00 late penalty, which accrues interest at a rate of 1.5% a month on the TAX and PENALTY, until the Franchise Tax and all accrued penalties are paid.
DO NOT DELAY! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ELECTRONIC FILING! Before or during the filing process, if you have questions about your Franchise Taxes, you should contact the Delaware Franchise Tax Department at 302-739-3073.
