What's different about running a business in Pflugerville?
Pflugerville sits between Austin and Round Rock along the SH 130 corridor, and its business owners are a mix you don't see in many places. There are tech workers running a consulting company or an online store on the side, logistics and distribution businesses near the toll road, contractors and home service companies keeping up with new neighborhoods, and family restaurants and shops serving a fast-growing city.
Side businesses are where we see the most mistakes. Someone with a W-2 job starts consulting or selling online, the income grows, and suddenly there are quarterly estimates, a possible S-Corp election and a Texas sales tax permit to think about. Because your W-2 wages already pay into Social Security, the math on self-employment tax and an S-Corp is different for you than for a full-time owner.
Most of the city is in Travis County and files business personal property renditions with the Travis Central Appraisal District. Northern parts are in Williamson County and its district. Either way, the rendition is due April 15.
The local 2% sales tax share goes to the city and its development corporations, for a total of 8.25%. Online sellers based here collect Texas tax on Texas orders, and may owe in other states once their sales there cross the economic nexus lines.
