A taxable receipt here adds up to 8.25 percent. The state piece is 6.25 percent, the city piece is 1 percent, and DART is another 1 percent. The sales report that leaves on the 20th is built from the month already closed.
A quiet shop does not get a later 20th. If you had no taxable sales, the report can still be due. We would rather file a true zero than discover in June that the month was skipped.
The local piece of that 8.25 is not the same on every street. The address on the sale decides the city row and the transit row. We read the address off the closed month, and we do not borrow a rate from a shop across a city line. A quiet afternoon does not change the 20th, and we do not treat a busy Saturday as the form.
April and the property list
Business personal property renditions land on 15 April, unless a written request pushes the rendition to 15 May. For a protest, watch two clocks, 15 May and the 30th day after the notice, and use whichever clock runs longer.
Before those rendition and protest dates we tie the list to the months already closed, so a protest compares two records instead of guessing. A disagreement is more useful before the date than after it.
The rate card this site already carried for the school district listed Dallas ISD at 82.99 percent of the area, a 2025 total of 0.993835 per 100 dollars, with 0.7518 for maintenance and operations and 0.242035 for interest and sinking.
May, even when the tax is zero
A computed tax of zero does not retire the May franchise report for this one company. The figures on that May report come from the month that is already closed. Under the published line of 2,650,000 dollars, the computed tax stays zero. The retail rate and the wholesale rate are both 0.375 percent. Every other line of business is 0.75 percent. Report years already on this page, 2026 and 2027, leave on 15 May.
A company under that line can owe nothing and still have to file. We prepare that report from the months we closed. We do not skip it because the tax line is zero.
If your year is a fiscal year, say so. The public dates above are the common ones. The scope will name the date that actually applies to this company, and we will not borrow a date from a neighbor.
The school calendar is a different calendar
Dallas ISD is the school calendar a lot of families follow, and we plan around those first days with you. A teacher workday does not move a sales report.
We still have the 20th ready when school is out and when school is in. The books do not take the summer off just because the campus does.
If a family week means the owner is gone, tell us before the date. We can prepare the report early. We cannot invent an extension the statute did not give.
The date you are watching
Tell us which public date is on your mind. If you think the tax is zero, say that, and we will still talk about the report.
You will be talking to the Steven Palmieri practice.
