What is Franchise Tax?

Franchise tax is a tax levied by the state of Texas on each LLC that is formed in the state. The amount of the tax is based on the total amount of income that the LLC earns in a calendar year. All LLCs are required to pay this tax every year, regardless of whether or not they are making a profit.
