Texas Context

Texas Has No State Income Tax — But Franchise Tax Still Applies

Texas is one of nine states with no personal state income tax, making Dallas a popular destination for founders and businesses relocating from high-tax states like California or New York. But no income tax does not mean no state tax obligations.

Texas imposes a franchise tax — also called the margin tax — on most entities doing business in the state. The standard rate is 0.75% of taxable margin (0.375% for qualifying wholesalers and retailers). Businesses with annual revenue below the No Tax Due threshold (currently $2.47 million for 2024) are exempt from payment but must still file a No Tax Due report with the Texas Comptroller each year.

For Dallas-based founders, the practical implication is straightforward: your CPA needs accurate, up-to-date revenue and expense records to calculate your taxable margin correctly. Reckonwell keeps your books current every day — so when franchise tax season arrives, your CPA has everything they need without a last-minute scramble.

Texas franchise tax is calculated on your business's taxable margin, not net income. Clean books make the calculation straightforward — and that's exactly what we provide.
