Yes. Contractors & Trades is one of our focus areas, and we serve Dover and all of Kent County 100% remotely — clean monthly financials and Delaware gross-receipts-tax-ready records.
Delaware has no sales or use tax, so you don't pay tax on materials bought in-state, but your business owes a gross receipts tax on your total contractor receipts (with no deduction for costs). On income, Delaware's tax reaches 6.6%, and in Wilmington a 1.25% wage tax applies to your crew. We keep your job costs and gross receipts straight. We keep your records ready for every filing.
