Delaware to Increase LLC Fees
Now, alas, there are twice as many reasons to File the DE Franchise Tax on time. Delaware is set to increase its LLC fees, including the Franchise Tax Late Penalty (along with sundry other corporation services, such as Certified Copies, Amendments, and Cancellations). The fee is to increase from its present $100 figure, to $200. This spike in fees is scheduled to take effect as of August 1, 2009, as described by House Substitute No. 1 for House Bill No. 267, which has been passed into law by the Delaware Legislature.

Wondering if you could clear something up for me: if I’m late this year (’09), will my late fee that was $100 go up to $200 in August? If so, that’s a huge late fee!
Thank you for the help and information.

Hi James,
Happily, no. This fee increase will not be “retroactive”. So, all and only the fees that will be _imposed_ after August 1 will reflect this fee increase. I guess the moral then is, if you are planning on Canceling or Amending an entity in DE, or requesting Certified documents, better do it quick!
Thanks for the comment,
Jon
