Thanks to a recent state tax code overhaul, our corporate partners now benefit from a lower tax rate. In July 2018, the corporate income tax was changed to a flat 5 percent rate, reduced from 6 percent for most for-profit companies. Additionally, taxes are now calculated using a single-factor formula based on sales. These changes, along with an already low local tax rate, further help boost a company’s return on investment in Taylor County.
