Chapter 601 - Business Corporations
Section 33-914 - Franchise tax.
(a) Specially chartered corporations formed after January 1, 1961, shall pay franchise tax as provided in section 33-618.
(b) A specially chartered corporation in existence on January 1, 1961, shall, in respect of the number of shares which it is authorized by shareholders to issue but has not been issued at said date, continue to pay franchise tax under and in accordance with franchise tax provisions in effect and applicable to such corporations on said date.
(c) Together with its payment of franchise tax next following January 1, 1961, each specially chartered corporation in existence on said date shall file with the Secretary of the State a statement, executed as provided in section 33-608, of the number of shares which it was authorized by shareholders to issue but had not issued by January 1, 1961. Whenever shareholders of such a corporation shall increase the number of shares authorized to be issued over the number set forth in such statement, the corporation shall file an amended statement, so executed, setting forth such increase and such corporation shall be subject to the provisions of section 33-618 as in the case of an increase of authorized shares by amendment of the certificate of incorporation. If the certificate of incorporation of such a corporation shall, by special act or by amendment by shareholders, be amended to provide for a designated number of authorized shares, which number is an increase over the number of authorized shares set forth in the latest statement filed pursuant to this subsection, such increase shall be subject to the provisions of section 33-618 and thereafter such corporation shall be subject to said section and to this subsection.
