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.
