Texas does not collect state income tax from individuals. Texas has a state sales tax rate of 6.25%. Counties, cities, transit, and special purpose districts have the option to impose additional, local sales and use taxes.
Most states finance local and state government largely through some mixture of sales taxes, property taxes and income taxes. Texas is one of nine states that do not levy an individual income tax. The Tax Foundation, a conservative-leaning research group, ranks Texas ninth-best on its State Business Tax Climate Index, largely because of the stateâs lack of an income tax. On three of the foundationâs other major rankings â property taxes, sales taxes and corporate taxes â Texas ranks in the bottom 20 states.
