How To Determine The Texas Sales Tax Rate
Texas is an origin-based tax system. Taxable goods and services should generally be taxed at the rate of the seller’s place of business.
Exceptions
The only exception is if the seller is a list filer. A seller will be a list filer if they engaged in providing these taxable goods or services:
- Amusement Services
- Cable & Satellite TV Services
- Florists
- Marketplace Sales
- Motor Vehicle Parking & Storage
- Natural Gas & Electricity
- Nonresidential Real Property Repair & Remodeling Services
- Separated Contracts for New Construction or Residential Repair and Remodeling Projects
- Telecommunication Services
- Waste Collection & Waste Removal Services
- Itinerant Vendors
- Vending Machine Sales
- Kiosks
- Remote Sellers
For the above goods/services, the tax assessed will be based on the location where these services occur.
