Texas taxes through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts at a 6.25% statewide base rate, with local rates stacking on top and economic nexus for remote sellers at $500,000 in sales. Filing runs monthly, quarterly, or annually by liability. For salons, spas & barbershops, that combination is what decides how much of your month-end is bookkeeping and how much is compliance.
Employer registration runs through the Texas Workforce Commission, and the entity is registered with the Texas Secretary of State. Remote sellers may elect a single local use tax rate instead of tracking every jurisdiction. The franchise tax is a separate annual filing.

Are your services taxable in Texas?
Whether salons, spas & barbershops services are taxable in Texas is the question that catches people out — states differ enormously, and several have been broadening what counts. Remote sellers may elect a single local use tax rate instead of tracking every jurisdiction. The franchise tax is a separate annual filing. We code service revenue separately from any product revenue so the treatment is explicit rather than assumed.
Texas rates and sourcing
The Texas statewide base rate is 6.25%. Local rates stack on top and are generally sourced to the delivery address, so the effective rate varies within the state. Getting sourcing right is what keeps the liability account matching what you actually collected.
Payroll and employer registration in Texas
Employer registration in Texas runs through the Texas Workforce Commission, a different agency from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts that handles your sales tax — a separate account number, a separate login, and separate deadlines. Businesses routinely register for one and forget the other, then discover the gap when a notice arrives.
Filing cadence in Texas
Texas assigns filing frequency by liability — monthly, quarterly, or annually by liability. Because Texas includes an annual bracket, a low-volume seller here can go a full year between filings, which is exactly when a liability account drifts unnoticed. We reconcile it monthly regardless of when the return is due.
We keep the books. You run the business.
Categorization, reconciliation, month-end close, and clean financial statements — with nothing left for you to chase.
