The Circle & Downtown is one of Georgetown's distinctive business communities. The historic civic, dining, and small-business core. Whether you run a storefront, a service company, or a home-based venture here, Tides Bookkeeping keeps your books accurate, categorized, and ready for tax season - without you ever leaving The Circle & Downtown.
As part of the greater Georgetown, DE economy within Sussex County, The Circle & Downtown businesses share the same Delaware tax and compliance landscape as the rest of the area. Our remote-first process means you get a dedicated bookkeeper and clean monthly financials no matter where in Georgetown you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
Delaware is one of only five states with no sales tax at all - but that doesn't make it tax-free for business. Companies pay a gross receipts tax on their total Delaware receipts (roughly 0.1% to 0.75% by activity, with no deduction for costs), on top of a graduated income tax that reaches 6.6%. In Wilmington, a 1.25% city wage tax applies to everyone who lives or works in the city. And Delaware is the incorporation capital of the country, so most companies formed here also owe an annual franchise tax. Tracking gross receipts and any Wilmington wage tax is exactly what we do.
