Frequently Asked Questions
Late or non-payment of franchise tax / annual fees typically incurs a penalty (e.g. USD 200 in Delaware) plus interest accruing on the unpaid tax and penalty (e.g. 1.5% per month in Delaware). Exact amounts depend on the state of incorporation.
Reinstating a force-dissolved U.S. company generally requires filing the missing annual reports, reappointing a registered agent (if it resigned), and paying outstanding state fees plus penalties, in addition to a service fee. Where the company has no special value, it is often cheaper and simpler to incorporate a brand-new company instead.
A Delaware corporation owes an annual franchise tax plus a fixed annual-report filing fee. Computed under the authorized-shares method, the franchise tax can be as low as the statutory minimum, but the actual amount can be substantially higher depending on authorized shares or assets, so the figure must be confirmed per company.
Yes. A state's business/corporate authority (Secretary of State) can administratively or forcibly dissolve (revoke) a company, typically for non-compliance such as failing to file annual reports, pay state fees, or otherwise maintain good standing.
No. Clients should sign documents without filling in the date. Leaving the date blank avoids having to re-sign if an error is found and the documents must be corrected.
Better Capitalization
The US stock market is the world's largest by market capitalization, trading volume, and number of listed companies. The NYSE and Nasdaq offer international investors unmatched liquidity, transparency, and access to capital.
Capital Liquidity
US equity markets consistently lead the world in daily trading volume, far exceeding London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. This deep liquidity ensures investors and businesses can always find counterparties for transactions.
Strengthening Relationships with Local Companies
The US market is highly attractive for finding business partners and investors. Having a US-registered company makes it significantly easier for American investors to conduct due diligence, giving your business greater credibility and access to capital.
For US Immigration
Registering a US company can support immigration pathways such as the E-2 treaty investor visa, L-1 intracompany transfer visa, or EB-5 investment green card. A US entity is often a practical first step for entrepreneurs planning to work or invest in the country.
General CIT Rate
Federal corporate income tax: 21%. State CIT generally ranges from 1% to 10% (although some states do not impose CIT) and is deductible for federal CIT purposes.
CIT Return Due Date
April 15 for calendar-year corporations (15th day of the 4th month after the tax year-end); a 6-month filing extension to October 15 is available. State income tax returns usually follow the federal due date, with a few exceptions.
CIT Payment Due Date
Tax must be fully paid by the original due date of the return (April 15 for calendar-year corporations); the final estimated instalment is due on the 15th day of the 12th month of the tax year.
CIT Estimated Payment Due Date
Four equal instalments of estimated tax, due by the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th and 12th months of the tax year (April 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 for calendar-year corporations).
