Land is cheap and the population is climbing, so residential and commercial construction stays busy statewide. Cross-border trade through Laredo and the Gulf ports keeps trucking companies running tight margins that depend on accurate mileage, fuel and load reconciliation. None of this is taxed through a state income tax, but Texas replaces it with a franchise tax on gross margin, so bookkeeping has to track revenue and cost of goods sold cleanly from day one. Central Time (CT). Our US team works 8am to 8pm ET, so every CT business hour is covered live. ## Texas tax and compliance notes ### Sales and use tax Texas charges a 6.25% state sales tax, and cities, counties and special districts can add up to 2% more, for a combined rate as high as 8.25% in most metro areas. Retailers, restaurants and many service businesses need clean taxable-versus-exempt tracking to file correctly. ### Franchise tax instead of income tax Texas has no personal or corporate income tax, but most LLCs and corporations above the state's annual revenue threshold owe a franchise tax, sometimes called the margin tax, calculated on gross receipts minus certain deductions. Bookkeeping needs to separate cost of goods sold and compensation cleanly to support that calculation. ### Payroll and unemployment tax Employers pay Texas unemployment insurance tax on a wage base set each year by the Texas Workforce Commission, on top of federal payroll taxes. There is no state income tax withholding to manage, which simplifies payroll but still requires accurate wage and hour records. General notes, not advice. Filing is done by you, your CPA, accountant or registered agent; we prepare the workings. ## Industries we serve in Texas - **[Construction](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/construction/)** Texas's fast-growing metro areas keep residential and commercial contractors busy, and job costing has to track materials and subcontractor draws against every project. - **[Trucking and logistics](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/trucking/)** Freight moving through Dallas-Fort Worth and the Laredo border crossing means trucking companies need load-level reconciliation against fuel and mileage costs. - **[Real estate agents](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/real-estate-agents/)** Rapid population growth across Texas keeps agents and brokerages closing deals that need commission splits and trust accounting handled correctly. - **[SaaS and technology](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/saas/)** Austin's technology and startup scene needs subscription revenue matched cleanly against billing platforms and investor reporting. - **[Medical practices](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/medical-practices/)** Houston's medical complex and clinics statewide need patient billing reconciled against insurance payments and copays every month. ## Software Texas businesses use - [QuickBooks Online](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Xero](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/xero/) - [Gusto](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/gusto/) - [Bill.com](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/bill-com/) - [Avalara](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/avalara/) - [All 50 platforms](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/) ## Services for Texas businesses - [Bookkeeping](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/bookkeeping/) - [Invoicing and billing](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/invoicing-and-billing/) - [Accounts receivable](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/accounts-receivable/) - [Accounts payable](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/accounts-payable/) - [Bank reconciliation](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/bank-reconciliation/) - [Month end close](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/month-end-close/) - [All 84 services](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you have an office in Texas?
