Accounting & Tax Services in Mesquite, TX
Mesquite has emerged as one of DFW’s fastest-growing logistics and industrial hubs, recording $1.1 billion in economic development deals and 3,500 new jobs in 2024 alone. The city’s total valuation has nearly tripled from $5.5 billion in 2015 to $15.3 billion in 2024, reflecting massive investment in distribution centers and manufacturing facilities. International companies including Canadian Solar, Hexagon Purus, and General Dynamics have established Mesquite operations, while 16 million square feet of new industrial space has been added since 2019.
Texas franchise tax (margin tax) affects Mesquite businesses with revenue over $2.47 million, and logistics companies face additional complexity with fleet depreciation, fuel tax optimization, and multi-state nexus from cross-country shipping. Mesquite’s strategic position at the convergence of I-30, I-635, and I-20 makes it an ideal distribution base, but businesses shipping nationwide create sales tax obligations across dozens of states. Retail businesses along Town East Boulevard and the growing Mesquite Metro Airport commercial area add consumer-facing accounting needs to the local economy.
SDO CPA works with Mesquite business owners across logistics, manufacturing, and retail to structure entities, optimize S-Corp reasonable compensation, and manage the interplay between federal tax obligations and Texas franchise tax. For businesses in the East Dallas industrial corridor or the Mesquite Metro area, we provide monthly bookkeeping and fractional CFO services scaled to your stage of growth.
Texas Tax Planning Tip
Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, but the Texas franchise tax (margin tax) applies to businesses with revenue above $2.47 million. S-Corp and partnership owners should analyze whether the E-Z Computation rate (0.331% of revenue) or the standard rate (0.75% of margin) produces a lower tax bill. Many Mesquite businesses overpay because they default to the E-Z rate without running both calculations.
