The post office here was once called Cutoff. Cutoff on an old paper is still this city.
You are close enough to San Antonio that the higher rate is tempting. The facts below have the Schertz column. The week below is the city line and the county of the building.
Schertz is in Bexar County, Comal County, and Guadalupe County. The census counted 42,002 people. Combined sales tax on the Comptroller city file is 7.75%. City tax is 1.5%. No transit authority is listed. No special-purpose district is listed. State tax 6.25% plus the named local pieces equals the combined 7.75%. County sales tax on the county file, not added on top of the combined city rate: Bexar none; Comal 0.5%; Guadalupe 0.5%. Business personal property rendition is due April 15 to the appraisal district for the county of the property (Bexar County or Comal County or Guadalupe County). Franchise (margin) tax report is due May 15. A no-tax-due threshold exists. Its dollar amount is not printed here. Texas has no personal income tax. The permit sets monthly, quarterly, or yearly sales-tax filing. A closing that names the county uses the real-estate guide.
You are close to San Antonio, and it is easy to type that city's 8.25 percent onto a Schertz sale. Sebastian Schertz kept a store here when the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway came through, and the post office was first called Cutoff. Cutoff on an old paper is your city under the earlier name. The column you use today is 7.75 percent combined, from a 1.5 percent city tax. That is lower than San Antonio. If you export the higher number, your return overstates the tax.
Your city also reaches Guadalupe County and Comal County, so the building can sit in Bexar, Guadalupe, or Comal. You write the county of that building for rendition, and you keep the sales-tax city as Schertz when the sale happened at your counter. A page that says San Antonio or Seguin stays with the city it names. Set your Schertz tape beside any page that used 8.25 percent. Correct the city line to 7.75 percent, and write the building's county beside it, before the report leaves your desk.
A closing that turns on the county is the real-estate guide.
Other trades are on the industry list.
Book a time and send one Schertz tape and any page that used 8.25 percent. The rate mark comes back while the return is open.
