Your Venus job uses one sales rate on both sides of the county line.

City tax is 2%. The county chooses the appraisal district for property you still own.

Venus is in Ellis County and Johnson County. City tax is 2%. No transit authority and no special-purpose district. State tax of 6.25% and that 2% are the entire combined 8.25% on both sides. Ellis Appraisal District or Johnson CAD follows the county where property you still own sits. That choice is not a second sales total.

What is true about running a business in Venus

Venus is in Ellis County and Johnson County. Ellis Appraisal District and Johnson CAD gets the business personal property rendition due April 15. Combined sales tax on the Comptroller file is 8.25%. City tax is 2%. No transit authority is listed. 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. An Ellis and Johnson job at one plain 2% fits the construction cleanup site. That is the shape of this week's file, not a census of Venus. Other guides are on the industries page.

If this is your week in Venus

You share the QuickBooks Online file. Bank feeds come with that access. Documents go through a secure link. The first conversation is a 30-minute Teams call. Each month you get a short written note. Returns go out for e-signature. A time to start is on the Bookings page. You do not drive in, mail a box, or wait at an office. Send the file. The first pass names what is off. You get that note back while there is still time to use it.

You pour or frame in Venus and the county line runs through the same city, so you may wonder whether Friday's invoice should carry two sales rates. It should not. Your city tax is 2% on both the Ellis side and the Johnson side, with no transit line and no special district, and with the state piece that is your whole 8.25%. What does change is the appraisal office for equipment you still own: Ellis Appraisal District if you keep it on the Ellis side, Johnson CAD if you keep it on the Johnson side. You still bill one sales rate. If your crew crosses into a neighboring city for the second half of the day, that second city gets its own invoice, because your Venus rate belongs only to work inside Venus. Bring the day's invoices marked with the city where the work stood, and the first read can show whether you kept one 2% rate inside the city and split only when you left it.
