Your bench is in Anna. The buyer's door may be under a different local mix.
Anna's own combined rate is 8.25%, built from state 6.25% and a 2% city tax, with no transit and no special district on the file. That rate is for Anna. A label to another Texas city can carry that city's local pieces, even when the total on the label also reads 8.25%.
Anna is in Collin County. The Comptroller combined rate is 8.25%. City tax is 2%. The city's line does not include a transit authority. It does not include a special-purpose district. Adding state sales tax of 6.25% to the 2% city tax produces the combined 8.25% exactly. Collin CAD is the appraisal district that gets the April 15 rendition of business personal property. Read Collin CAD's form for the date that controls what you list. Sharing a county with other cities does not mean sharing their local sales-tax mix. The franchise (margin) tax report is due May 15. Whether you are under the no-tax-due threshold is a Comptroller question for the report year. No dollar amount is stated here. Texas charges no personal income tax. If you collect sales tax, the permit tells you whether the return is monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Volume is the reason. The city name is not. The retail cleanup site is the fleet page for orders that leave Anna. The industries page lists different fits.
Take one order from last week. Not your favorite order. The one with a Texas ship-to that is not Anna. Write down the city where you packed the box, the city on the label, and the city on the payout report. If those three are not the same, a single sales-tax rate cannot describe the order. Anna's rate, for a sale that is actually Anna's, is easy to memorize and dangerous to reuse. The bench rate is already in the fact block above, and it has no transit line to peel apart. Do not reuse it on a label that names another city. A buyer who picks the goods up at your Anna bench is in that story. The payout report often shows one tax number and no split. Your books then deposit one number. The return wants the split that matches the destination. Origin versus destination is the practical test, not a vocabulary test. Pickup at your counter: Anna's combined rate. Delivery to the buyer in another Texas city: that city's local rate, which you look up rather than assume. Collin CAD's April 15 rendition is about property in Anna, not about the ship-to city. Do not list a customer's address as if you owned fixtures there. Do list your packing table, your on-hand goods, and the computer that prints labels, if the form asks for them. The franchise report on May 15 is about the entity's revenue. Revenue is not the gross marketplace number if the marketplace kept the tax and the fees. Mixing those is how a short year looks huge. Send the payout export for one month, ten shipped orders with the destination city visible, and any pickup orders from the same month. The first pass sorts the month into pickup-in-Anna and shipped-elsewhere. It does not mass-edit the file. It shows, on those ten, whether the deposit recorded tax you never collected. You get a two-column recap and a list of destination cities that appeared. The recap comes back before the sales-tax return for that month is due, so the return can follow the labels.
Channel payouts and tax that changes by destination are the retail guide.
If you never ship, pick the guide that matches the work you do instead.
Book a time and attach a month of orders before the return is due.
