Accounting & Tax Services in Lancaster, TX
Lancaster sits in southern Dallas County at the intersection of I-35E and Belt Line Road, offering affordable industrial and commercial space that attracts manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution operations serving the broader metroplex. The city’s strategic location along major transportation corridors makes it attractive for logistics companies and manufacturers requiring truck access to I-20 and I-35E, with many businesses structured as partnerships or S-Corps to optimize pass-through taxation. Lancaster’s lower operating costs compared to central Dallas create opportunities for businesses to establish regional operations while maintaining competitive pricing, but owners must carefully manage franchise tax obligations as revenue grows. The city’s Veterans Memorial Park and Pleasant Run area support local retail and service businesses serving the residential community. SDO CPA helps Lancaster entrepreneurs optimize entity structures for manufacturing and logistics operations, maximize Section 179 deductions on vehicles and warehouse equipment, and implement franchise tax strategies that account for inventory and cost of goods sold while managing quarterly estimated payments across variable revenue cycles.
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.
