About this market
Market context
The tax profession in Austin primarily involves federal, state, and local taxation for individuals and businesses. Key areas include income tax compliance and consulting, state franchise tax, sales and use tax, and property tax, driven by Austin's dynamic economic growth and diverse industry sectors.
Texas has no individual or corporate income tax. The primary state-level business tax is the Texas Franchise Tax, a 'margin tax' calculated on a company's taxable margin, with a general rate of 0.375% for retail/wholesale and 0.75% for others, and an 'E-Z computation' rate of 0.331%. State sales and use tax is 6.25%, with local jurisdictions adding up to 2%, totaling a maximum of 8.25%. Travis County property tax rates vary by jurisdiction; for example, the City of Austin's maintenance and operations rate is $0.2974 per $100 valuation for FY2024. Property taxes are assessed annually by the Travis Central Appraisal District.
What's driving demand
- Rapid population and business growth leading to increased tax compliance and advisory needs.
- Concentration of tech companies, startups, and private equity, driving demand for specialized tax planning and M&A tax expertise.
- Absence of state individual/corporate income tax, shifting focus to franchise, sales & use, and property tax planning.
- Ongoing changes in federal tax law (e.g., corporate minimum tax, R&D capitalization rules) requiring continuous adaptation.
