Texas corporate filing requirements

Texas corporate filing requirements are not complicated: some forms are one-time-only while others are required regularly. During Texas corporation formation, the Certificate of Formation for LLC or Establishment Certificate for corporation must be submitted to the Texas Secretary of State (SOS).

Annual forms consist of:

• Annual Report
• State Business Tax: In Texas, even LLC has to pay franchise tax. This is very complicated and it is advised to consult with One IBC^® specialist to understand and pay this tax properly.
• State Employer Tax: If the company hires someone, employer tax has to be paid and state unemployment insurance (UI) tax.
• Sales and Use Tax: If the company is doing business in Texas, it has to pay sales tax.
• Registration in Other States: If the company is doing business in other states, it needs to register and file corresponding papers. Check One IBC^® 50 states guide for more details.
