The local tax environment

State tax overview

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.

Tax rates and rules change frequently. Verify current figures with a licensed professional before acting.

FAQ

Small Business Payroll in Texas

When should a small business outsource payroll?

As soon as you hire your first W-2 employee. Penalties for missed or late payroll tax deposits start at 2% and climb to 15% — outsourcing eliminates that risk for less than the cost of a single penalty.

Can I run payroll myself with software?

You can, but you remain liable for every filing. Most small businesses get more value from a payroll pro who handles compliance, multi-state filings, and year-end forms end-to-end.
