Texas Sales & Use Tax Practice
*administrative law, Texas Sales and Use Tax, sales tax, use tax
For businesses operating within the state of Texas, the combined burden of state and local taxes can feel overwhelming. While the state levies a 6.25 percent sales tax on retail sales, leases, and rentals of most goods and services, local governments also levy their own taxes. Sometimes, this additional local tax can add an almost 2 percent burden on top of state levies.
For those businesses that managed to escape paying sales taxes on the purchase of goods, a further use tax is imposed. This tax is levied on the consumption, use, or storage of goods within the state of Texas. The use tax rate is typically the same as that of sales tax.
All of these taxes can seem like an immense burden. As they stand, these taxes can take a significant portion of the business' profits, but the impenetrable nature of the tax code can make the problem even worse. If the taxes are not filed correctly, businesses could face audits, followed by penalties and fines on top of the taxes already owed.
In these situations, it is important to seek legal counsel. At theLorenzana Law Firm, P.C., our tax attorneys are highly trained in administrative law and are familiar with all aspects of the sales and use taxes levied under the auspices of the Texas Tax Code.
If problems arise in the filing of your sales and use taxes, our attorneys can help your business through the ordeal of a Texas sales and use tax audit, as well as refund hearings before the State Office of Administrative Hearings. We can advise your business and represent your interests in any matter concerning Texas state sales tax, use tax, franchise tax, or local taxes.
