Delaware annual report cost

Delaware sets the fee, and it varies widely, from nothing in a few states to a modest or substantial amount in others, sometimes flat and sometimes based on revenue, shares, or entity type. Because the figure changes and differs by entity, we show the current Delaware amount before filing and pass it through at cost. Our service pricing is on the pricing page.

Often yes: Delaware frequently sets different fees, and sometimes different forms and schedules, for LLCs versus corporations versus nonprofits, and corporations sometimes owe more. Filing under the wrong classification causes errors. We confirm the correct Delaware fee and form for your exact entity type so you pay the right amount on the right report, not a guess.

A flat $200 plus interest at 1.5 percent per month, compounding on the tax and the penalty. An LLC files no annual report in Delaware, only the $400 annual tax due June 1, while a corporation files a $50 report with its franchise tax by March 1. A corporate charter becomes void one year after the delinquency. An LLC certificate is canceled on the third anniversary of the unpaid tax. Reinstatement then costs $220 for an LLC and $189 for a corporation, plus all back tax, penalty and interest. We track your Delaware due date and file automatically, so the question does not arise.

Most registered entities: LLCs, corporations, and often nonprofits and foreign entities registered in Delaware generally must file on Delaware's schedule to stay active, though a few states exempt certain types. If you are registered in Delaware, assume you file unless told otherwise. We confirm your Delaware obligation, and keep a reliable agent in place to receive the notices.

It depends on Delaware: many states require it every year, some every two years, and the due date may track your formation anniversary or a fixed calendar date. The cadence is not intuitive. We track your specific Delaware schedule on a compliance calendar so you never miss the cycle or misjudge a biennial year.

Yes, you can always file directly with Delaware; it does not require a service. People use us to avoid missing the non-obvious deadline, to keep every entity's filings in one place, and to have the report reviewed before submission. It is a safety net against the most common cause of losing good standing, not a requirement, and the choice is yours.

Yes. We track your Delaware due date, prepare the correct report for your entity type, pass the state fee through at cost, and file on time, with the confirmation returned to your records. It turns an easy-to-miss Delaware deadline into something handled automatically on your compliance calendar.
