Delaware LLC Franchise Tax is due June 1st. Every LLC must pay the $250 Delaware franchise Tax or they incur a $200 penalty plus interest charges. Pay your Delaware Franchise Tax through Delawareinc.com.

Maybe it would have been good to mention that does not apply in the year of inception… e.g., business formed in January, February 2009. But, maybe everyone in that category knows that.

Actually I guess I am out of the loop. If my LLC was opened in 2008, does that mean I dont have to pay this years delaware franchise tax?
Rosa,
Thanks for your question. LLCs formed in 2008 pay Delaware Franchise Tax for the first time on or before June 1, 2009. It’s the 2008 FT due June 1 of the following year. If you had formed the company in 2009, as Mark’s comment above highlights, you would not pay FT until 2010.
It’s easy to pay your FT on the Delawareinc.com web site. Paying it now will take only five minutes, at the most. Just go to:
