Not sure if your sales are taxable? If you sell physical goods in Texas, the answer is usually yes. EfilePermit.com can help you get registered quickly so you're protected before your next sale.
Texas actively enforces sales tax rules. Here's what can happen every week you keep selling without registering.
Out of pocket
Back taxes on your past sales
If you sell taxable items in Texas without a permit, the state can assess sales tax on prior transactions and demand payment after the fact. That means tax you should have collected from customers can come out of your own pocket later.
5% → 10% + interest
Late penalties & interest add up fast
Texas can impose a 5% penalty if tax is paid 1–30 days late, and 10% if more than 30 days late — plus interest. What starts as a small compliance delay can turn into a much larger bill.
Criminal offense
Selling without a permit can be a criminal offense
Under Texas law, a person commits an offense if they engage in business as a seller without a required permit. Willful non-compliance can expose business owners to criminal consequences in addition to tax liability.
