Franchise Taxes

In Texas, corporations pay the greater of the tax on net taxable capital or net taxable earned surplus. Taxable capital is a corporation's stated capital (capital stock) plus surplus. Surplus means the net assets of a corporation minus its stated capital. Earned surplus basically includes federal net taxable income, plus compensation paid to officers and directors of a corporation.

The franchise tax rate is the greater of $2.50 per $1,000 in capital surplus or 4.5% of earned income.
