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.

FAQ
Startup CPAs in Texas
When should a startup hire a CPA?
At incorporation, ideally — early decisions on entity type, 83(b) elections, and accounting method affect QSBS eligibility and tax outcomes for years.
Can pre-revenue startups claim R&D credits?
Yes — qualifying startups can offset up to $500K/year of payroll tax with R&D credits, even with zero income tax liability. A startup CPA documents and files Form 6765 and Form 8974.
