FRANCHISE TAX - MARGIN TAX

The Texas franchise tax is a privilege tax imposed on every taxable entity organized in Texas or doing business in Texas. All taxable entities, including those that will owe no tax, must file an annual report.

The franchise tax rates are as follows:

  • 1.0% (.01) for most entities

  • 0.5% (.005) for qualifying wholesalers and retailers

  • 0.575% for those entities with $10 million or less in Total Revenue (annualized per 12 month period on which the report is based) that elect "E-Z Computation"

Taxable entities with total revenue (annualized per 12-month period on which the report is based) of $300,000 or less will owe no tax. Taxable entities (other than tiered partnerships) with tax due of less than $1,000 will owe no tax. (Read More)
