Delaware has enacted HB 400, which introduces a range of fee increases and raises the statutory caps for expedite fees. Filing fee changes take effect August 1, 2026, and current published expedite fees will remain in effect unless and until the Delaware Division of Corporations publishes an updated fee schedule.
HB 400 also authorized increases in the annual taxes for LLCs, LPs, partnerships, and other alternative entities. These new tax amounts will apply to the 2026 tax year and will be reflected in the taxes due on June 1, 2027.
Key changes include increased fees for:
- Preclearance;
- Short-form dissolution filings;
- Foreign corporation annual reports, and
- Trademark registrations.
