Texas Sales & Franchise Tax

Texas sales tax and Texas franchise tax are separate state tax responsibilities that may affect businesses operating in Texas. Sales tax generally relates to taxable sales of goods and certain services, while franchise tax is a state tax based on rules that apply to certain taxable entities doing business in Texas. The requirements depend on your business activities, entity type, and other factors.

Texas sales and franchise tax support can help small business owners who sell products, provide potentially taxable services, operate retail or e-commerce businesses, run restaurants, or manage other businesses with Texas tax reporting responsibilities. It can also be useful for LLCs and other business entities that need to understand whether franchise tax reporting or related state filings apply to them.

If you're starting a business, expanding into new sales channels, unsure about your filing status, or dealing with missing reports or state correspondence, a CPA can help you identify the issues that need attention.

Depending on your business and the services confirmed with the firm, support may include reviewing your business information and existing records, helping identify relevant Texas sales and franchise tax reporting obligations, organizing sales and expense documentation, reviewing information needed for applicable reports, and discussing notices or unfiled reporting requirements.
