Tax Services in Austin for Startups & Businesses
Austin businesses have no personal income tax to track, but the franchise (margin) tax applies once revenue crosses a threshold, and books that don't separate cost of goods and compensation cleanly make it hard to calculate margin under whichever method benefits you most. Travis County sales tax adds a local rate on top of the state base.
Profitjets tracks your revenue against the franchise tax threshold, calculates your margin under the best method, and registers and files your Travis County sales tax at the correct combined rate.
