Franchise Tax Payment

A Franchise Tax Payment will deduct an amount from the Agent's Depository account for the entity being eFiled.

Note

For LLCs, a Franchise Tax payment will pay the relevant amount owing.

Note

For corporations, a Franchise tax payment will credit the balance available of the associated corporation's account.

The Franchise Tax Payment request is automatically generated upon the successful receipt of a Tax Data Request for all active alternative Entities. Each request is automatically verified and queued when generated.

Once a payment request has been sent to Delaware, Delaware send through an immediate synchronous acknowledgment to the Managed By user of each company, to confirm that the request has been received. Once payment has been processed, a second asynchronous response is sent by the State of Delaware to confirm that payment has been successful.
