Title 30 of the Delaware Code authorizes seven different credits to be applied against Delaware corporate income tax. The corporate income tax
credits that are available are the Economic Development, Green Industries, Research & Development, Land & Historic Resource Conservation,
Travelink Traffic Mitigation, Neighborhood Assistance and Historic Property Preservation tax credits. Please see page 6 of this instruction booklet
for details concerning the corporate income tax credits.
House Bill 403 of the 142nd General Assembly creates a new Chapter 64 of Title 30 of the Delaware Code. This new chapter relates to the
formation, powers and taxation of a new corporate entity known as a Delaware Headquarters Management Corporation (HMC). The HMC will be
exempt from taxation under Chapter 19 of Title30 of theDelaware Code but will be subject to analternative tax calculation under thenewChapter
64. The purpose of this legislation and the creation of the HMC is to allow for the opportunity to attract investment management activities and
headquarter support operations to the State of Delaware to create new employment within the State. Any corporation may elect to be classified as
an HMC if the corporation limits its activities in Delaware to investment activities and/or providing headquarters management services to itself and
to members of its affiliated group. The election to become an HMC may be made anytime before the last day of the end of the first taxable year
commencing after December 31, 2003. Form 6401-HMC, APPLICATION AND ELECTION FOR A HEADQUARTERS MANAGEMENT
CORPORATION STATE OF DELAWARE BUSINESS LICENSE must be completed and submitted to the Director of Revenue with the $5,000
license fee on or before the last day for making an election to become an HMC. Additional information regarding the creation and taxation of an
HMCcanbeobtained byreadingDelaware Technical InformationMemorandunm2004-4.
Any provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Strength (JOBS) Act of 2004, H.R. 4520, which affect the Delaware taxable income of a corporation
havebeenautomaticallyadopted by theDelawareDivision ofRevenue.
Many Delaware corporate income tax returns received by the Division of Revenue have an erroneous entry on Line 2(g). The erroneous entry
results from the corporation entering the federal loss carryfoward from Line 29(a) of the federal corporate income tax return on Line 2(g) of the
Delaware corporate income tax return. The carryforward loss on Line 2(g) must only be the amount of loss carried back for federal tax
purposes and disallowed for Delaware tax purposes. The Delaware corporate income tax statute does not allow loss carrybacks in excess of
$30,000 to each carryback year. Federal loss carrybacks in excess of $30,000 for any carryback year must be carried forward for Delaware
corporate income tax purposes. The carryforwards disallowed as a carryback are entered on Line 2(g) of the Delaware corporate income tax
return. The amount of carryforward loss used in one year can only equal the amount of federal taxable income in the carryforward year. A
carryforward loss can not be used to offset any Delaware addition modification or income allocation for the purpose of reducing
Delaware taxable income to zero. Please see Page 7 of this instruction booklet for details concerning net operating loss deductions.
Corporations who are incorporated in Delaware and whose activities are limited to maintaining a statutory corporate office and not conducting
business within Delaware are exempt from filing the Delaware corporate income tax return under Section 1902(b)(6) of Title 30 of the Delaware
Code.
While a corporation may be exempt from filing an income tax return under Section 1902(b)(6), an annual Franchise Tax is imposed upon all
corporations for the privilege of being incorporated in Delaware unless specifically exempted by law. The Franchise Tax is administered by the
Secretary of State. Companies mayincorporateunder the General CorporateLaw of Delaware by filing theproperdocumentswith the Secretary of
State, Division of Corporations, P.O. Box 898, Dover, Delaware 19903. General information can be obtained by calling (302) 739-3073, or by
visiting their website www.corp.delaware.gov.

committed to provide quality services to all businesses. To assist, the Division's Office of Business Taxes has created a Home Page within the
