For corporations, there is no state corporate income tax for companies that are formed in Delaware but do not transact business there (but there is a franchise tax). Taxation requirements are often favorable to companies with complex capitalization structures and/or a large number of authorized shares of stock. There is no personal income tax for non-residents.

Stock shares owned by persons outside Delaware are not subject to Delaware taxes.
