Corporate Franchise Tax
Incorporated businesses are subject to the Franchise Tax, a state tax imposed on corporations that do business in Texas. There are two components to the tax:
  • Either a 4.5% tax on earned surplus
  • Or 2.5% per $1,000 in taxable capital*, whichever amount is higher

*Taxable capital includes stated capital, surplus, deferred income taxes, and non-current employee benefits allocated to Texas on a gross receipts basis. Net taxable earned surplus is federal taxable income, plus officers' and directors' compensation allocated to Texas on a gross receipts basis.
