Texas Sales & Use Tax — Permits and Filings

Texas sales tax permits & filings, handled for you

Two ways Texas expects your business to show up: get the sales tax permit before your first sale, and file returns on schedule every period after. We handle both — pick where you are.

I need my sales tax permit

Starting to sell taxable goods or services in Texas? The Comptroller expects a permit first — and the application trips people up every day. We handle it start to finish, classified right the first time. $150 flat.

Get my permit handled

I need my returns filed

Already have a permit? Texas expects a return every period — monthly, quarterly, or yearly — even when you sold nothing. We file on time, every time, franchise tax included, by the same firm that defends audits.

What you need to know

Any business selling or leasing taxable goods, or providing taxable services in Texas, must hold a sales and use tax permit from the Texas Comptroller before making sales. Once the permit is active, the Comptroller assigns your filing frequency and expects a return for every period — skipping one, even with zero sales, triggers a $50 late-filing penalty plus interest.

Done in the right order, none of this is scary: permit first, classified correctly; filing calendar second, so no deadline surprises. That’s exactly how we set our clients up — and if an auditor ever comes calling, your records are already the way we’d want them, because defending Texas sales tax audits is what we’re known for.
