How is franchise tax calculated in Delaware?
The Delaware Division of Corporations provides two methods to calculate Delaware franchise tax. The first method is based on the authorized share count, and VC-backed startups with option pools can quickly get to thousands of dollars in taxes due. The second method is the “assumed par value” method and is a more complicated formula based on shares issued and the company’s gross assets. This second method often results in lower tax bills for VC-backed startups.

Why Choose Kruze Consulting?
“Kruze spun us up in QuickBooks Online out of a definitionally non-auditable home-brewed system in a matter of weeks, and did so with an attention to detail that allowed us to pass a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) audit – the first in company history – within six months. I highly recommend Kruze for any growth stage CFO or controller.”
