Sales Tax and Payroll
Sales Tax
Sales tax due dates in Texas are as follows, which our accounting services can help you track effectively:
Monthly Filers: Due on the 20th of the following month.
Quarterly Filers: Due on the 20th of the month following the end of the quarter.
Annual Filers: Due on January 20 for the previous year’s taxes.
If a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the deadline is extended until the next business day. For small business bookkeeping, SJL Bookkeeping offers tailored solutions to ensure you never miss these important deadlines.
Payroll Tax

Deposit all payroll taxes for a calendar month by the 15th of the following month. If the 15th falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the deadline shifts to the next business day. For example, January payroll taxes are due February 15.

Wages paid from Wednesday to Friday: Deposit by the following Wednesday. Wages paid from Saturday to Tuesday: Deposit by the following Friday.
