Texas tax environment & CPA licensing
What CPAs in Texas encounter most often — the state's tax structure, the industries that drive demand, and how to confirm a Texas CPA's license.
Texas tax environment
Texas has no state personal income tax and no corporate income tax — replaced by a margin (franchise) tax on businesses above the $2.47M no-tax threshold. Sales tax is 6.25% state plus local up to 8.25% combined. Property taxes are among the highest in the country, which shapes most local tax planning conversations.
Summary only — confirm rates and filing requirements with the Texas Department of Revenue and your CPA before relying on them.
