Franchise tax plan draws aggressive push in Texas house
The Texas House debated a Perry Jones sponsored bill to raise the corporate franchise levy to about 11 percent of net income or 0.1 percent of assets, whichever yields more, arguing it would raise roughly 12 million dollars annually while critics warned higher taxes could drive industry from the state. The measure ranked early among revenue bills as hearings begin on other tax proposals, including oil tax increases. Talks also touched on investigations into Roy Miller and Orville Carpenter resignations linked to a pensions matter.
