Sales and Use Tax
Texas levies a sales and use tax of 6.25 percent on all retail sales, leases, and rentals of most goods, as well as taxable services. Additionally, cities, counties and other taxing jurisdictions may add to the rate for a combined state and local rate of 8.25 percent.
Sales and use tax exemptions are offered on machinery and equipment used in the manufacturing process and on natural gas and electricity when sold to commercial businesses that are "predominantly" manufacturing.
The Comptroller of Public Accounts is charged with the administration and collection of state and local sales tax from businesses operating in Texas, and also collects any franchise taxes owed by Texas corporations. The Comptroller maintains field offices in most major Texas cities to provide assistance and aid in complying with tax regulations.
