Never make you money, always cost you
Texas franchise tax (and the PIR)
Annual franchise tax reports and public information reports, with the right calculation method for your revenue. A report can still be due when tax is zero — we do not treat a $0 liability as a skipped form.
Franchise tax is not federal income tax. Federal returns are EA-prepared work on tax services.
New Mexico GRT
Gross receipts tax is not Texas sales tax. Location codes matter. Deductions most preparers miss matter. Las Cruces / Doña Ana work from an El Paso shop is the working example.
We don't quote GRT percentages here — rates change by location. Invented rates are worse than silence.
Sales & use across TX, NM, CO
Registration, calculation, filing — monthly, quarterly, or annual. Cross-border jobs are the messy case: nexus is invoices and job sites. See construction & trades.
Business personal property renditions
County appraisal district filings on equipment, tools, furniture — on the same deadline calendar as franchise and GRT, not a February surprise.
Why this sits on the books, not in an April folder
Same-firm ledger → fewer amended returns. When sales/use, GRT, and franchise start from reconciled numbers, you are not reconstructing January in October. CFO cash has to include estimated GRT and franchise outflows — otherwise the 13-week forecast is theater.
Deadline monitoring, included
Retainers are on service tiers — Essentials from $1,450/mo. Compliance is not priced as a standalone SKU on this page; we do not invent a per-return GRT fee. New permits, accounts, and state notices are in scope on the hub. Formal examination, appeals, or collections representation is scoped separately.
Questions, answered
We're a Texas LLC working jobs in New Mexico. What do we file? +
At minimum, the New Mexico GRT regime for that activity plus Texas franchise (if you meet Texas filing requirements). Sales/use may also apply. Discovery maps the calendar; we don't guess on a contact form.
Is franchise tax the same as federal income tax? +
No. Texas franchise tax is a state account-level filing. Federal returns are separate EA-prepared work on tax services.
Can you handle Las Cruces GRT if our office is in El Paso? +
Yes. The firm serves Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado, remotely and on-site.
Do you file business personal property renditions? +
Yes. BPP renditions are prepared and filed with the county appraisal district as part of compliance.
Will you register new permits when we expand? +
Yes — new permits and accounts, and state notices, are in the compliance scope on compliance services.
What does this cost? +
Service tiers from $1,450/mo Essentials, plus a discovery call. There is no invented per-return GRT fee on this page.
