Texas is a great place to start and grow a business. Just ask any of the 57 Fortune 500 companies headquartered here today. But that's not to say Texas' policy environment is perfect, especially when it comes to taxes. One particularly thorny issue is the state's business franchise tax, which is imposed upon certain LLC's, corporations, and partnership for the privilege of doing business in the Lone Star State. Now, for those companies that get caught in its crosshairs, the tax can be complicated, costly, and time-consuming to work through.
The Texas Public Policy Foundation’s mission is to promote and defend liberty, personal responsibility, and free enterprise in Texas and the nation by educating and affecting policymakers and the Texas public policy debate with academically sound research and outreach.
Funded by thousands of individuals, foundations, and corporations, the Foundation does not accept government funds or contributions to influence the outcomes of its research.
The public is demanding a different direction for their government, and the Texas Public Policy Foundation is providing the ideas that enable policymakers to chart that new course.
