Tax implications of incorporating near the end of a calendar year
If you plan to incorporate near the end of the calendar year, consider the tax implications. C corps and LLCs operating in Delaware before December 31 are subject to annual tax for that year. Annual tax isn’t prorated. Waiting until January 1 to incorporate could save you a full year of Delaware annual tax.
Additionally, your company might owe federal corporate income tax or taxes in other states and countries. Consider speaking with a tax professional.
