Local Tax Notes
What TX founders need to know
Texas has no personal or corporate income tax, but the Texas Franchise Tax (margin tax) applies to most entities above the no-tax-due threshold.
Sales tax nexus for SaaS is nuanced in Texas, where SaaS is treated as a taxable data processing service with a 20% exemption.
Founders relocating from CA or NY need careful residency planning to actually exit the prior state for tax purposes.
