State Franchise Tax: The franchise tax is imposed on all corporations doing business in the state or that are chartered or authorized to do business in the state. It is a tax on the privilege of doing business, measured by net taxable capital and by net taxable earned surplus which are apportioned to Texas. Apportionment is done by using a single gross receipts formula, and allowable deductions apply to both the capital and earned surplus components. The tax rate on net capital assets is 0.25%, or $2.50 per $1,000 of net taxable capital. To compute taxable capital, add the corporation's state capital, as defined by state law, and the corporation's surplus. The tax rate on net earned surplus is 4.5%. Corporations will calculate the franchise taxes due on taxable capital assets and on taxable earned surplus, paying the greater of the two accounts. There is no minimum tax, and no taxes are due on liabilities of less than $100.
