On your University Park receipt, city tax and Dallas MTA are both 1%.

You should keep them in two cells. Together with the state piece they are the whole 8.25%.

University Park is in Dallas County. City tax is 1%. Dallas MTA is 1%. No special-purpose district. State tax is 6.25%. Those named pieces are the entire combined 8.25%. Dallas CAD is the appraisal office.

What is true about running a business in University Park

University Park is in Dallas County. Dallas CAD gets the business personal property rendition due April 15. Combined sales tax on the Comptroller file is 8.25%. City tax is 1%. Transit on the file: Dallas MTA at 1%. No special-purpose district is listed. State sales tax of 6.25% plus those named local pieces equals the combined 8.25%. The franchise (margin) tax report is due May 15. A no-tax-due threshold exists and its dollar amount is not printed here. Texas has no personal income tax. Sales tax is filed monthly, quarterly, or yearly by volume on the permit. A Dallas County closing where city tax and Dallas MTA are the same size fits the real-estate cleanup site. That is the shape of this week's file, not a census of University Park. Other guides are on the industries page.

You get that note back while there is still time to use it.

You are closing a sale in University Park, and the settlement sheet has one line that looks like "local tax" when your customer actually paid two local pieces of the same size. Your city tax is 1% and Dallas MTA is another 1%. With the state piece, those three lines are your entire 8.25%, and you do not have a special-purpose district to add. If you fold the transit piece into the city cell, your return will show a 2% city tax this city does not charge, and the transit authority's 1% will be missing when you reconcile the filing. Your property, if you still own the office furniture, is a Dallas CAD matter, and that rendition does not pick a second sales rate. When you send the closing statement, leave the city line at 1% and the Dallas MTA line at 1%, so the first read can confirm you did not merge them.

Two local lines, each 1%
