How much does the Delaware annual report cost? 

The cost of filing an annual report varies depending on your business structure and where the company is located. It’s generally most expensive for foreign corporations, and they face slightly greater penalties for missing their due date. The filing fees are as follows:

• $50 plus franchise taxes for domestic corporations
• $125 plus franchise taxes for foreign corporations
• $300 flat annual tax for LLCs, with no annual reporting required

The Division of Corporation makes paying the required fees and entity taxes easy, and they offer a number of options. This includes paying via a credit card (Visa, Master Card, American Express, or Discover) or a checking account. If the transaction is more than $5,000, you must pay via electronic payment (ACH Debit). 

When is the Delaware annual report due? 

Deadlines for the Delaware annual report vary based on the type of corporation. It also depends on whether you’re operating your business inside or outside of the United States. LLCs have no annual reporting requirement, but must pay the annual flat tax of $300. Per Delaware statute, the due dates are as follows:

• Domestic corporations must file by March 1. 
• Foreign corporations must file on or before June 30.
• LLCs must pay their annual tax by June 1.

What if I miss the deadline to file my Delaware annual report? 

Sometimes a due date slips our minds and we end up filing late. Delaware has some intense late fees if your annual report and tax aren’t paid or filed for long enough. Again these vary based on the type and location of the business entity:

• LLCs pay a $200 late fee for late annual tax, and 1.5% interest per month.
• Domestic corporations pay a $200 late fee and 1.5% interest per month
• Foreign corporations (meaning: out of state) pay a $125 late fee

If you don’t wind up filing your annual report at all, you’ll risk your company’s good standing. In some cases, your business may be voided, and you’ll have to file additional paperwork and pay your unpaid tax balance and the associated penalties before your company is reinstated. This may include filing a Certificate of Revival, which comes with fees ranging from $169 to $200+ depending on whether you’re operating as an LLC or corporation.
