How it works
Add the state rate and your local rate together. Multiply the price by that combined rate, divided by 100, to get the tax. Then add the tax to the price.
The state rate is the same everywhere in Texas. Local rates are set by each place and can add up to 2% more. Use the local rate for where you are buying.
Worked example
A price of $100.00 at a combined rate of 8.25% comes to $108.25, which includes $8.25 of tax.
Questions
Is the tax worked out on the full price?
Yes, on the price of the items you buy. Some stores round the tax on the receipt, so it can differ by a cent from the calculation.
Why might my local rate be different?
Each city and county sets its own local rate, and some districts add more. Check the rate for the place where you are buying.
Is tax charged on groceries?
Most groceries for home use are not taxed, but prepared food and many other items are. Check the rules for what you are buying.
