Here’s another way to look at the popular Texas Two-Step
There are many reasons why Texas is top of mind when it comes to the country’s best places to do business. Along with a well-educated, high-performing workforce, there are moderate tax policies and regulations that make companies gravitate to vibrant cities such as Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas. The recent influx of many new companies coming to Texas, both established and start-up, is evidence that a closer look is warranted as to why they choose the Lone Star state.
With more than 2.4 million small businesses registered in Texas and an economy of $1.6 trillion, the state is second only to California for its economic strength. Job growth continues to climb and the cost of doing business in Texas is 11.4 percent below the national average.
Business taxes are much lower and any essential business materials and machinery is tax-exempt. This includes software, research and development-related materials, manufacturing equipment, and more.
Quality of life
Living is better in Texas, once you adapt to the summers. The cost of living is much lower than most other major U.S. cities, with real estate coming in at 40 percent less. Owning a home is easier and more affordable, as is health insurance, food, and utilities.
With over 3000 miles of shoreline along the Gulf Coast, Texas is a great year-round leisure destination for kayaking, boating, swimming, surfing, and fishing.
Better tax laws in Texas
Texas has no state tax, no personal income tax, and no corporate income tax. Texas corporate franchise tax is among the lowest in the country at 2 percent or below. It is a
right-to-work state and largely non-union. And Texas has one of America’s most business-friendly regulatory atmospheres.
