6 Texas Franchise Tax Recent Developments Page 1 I. Calculations, Exemptions, Rates & Apportionment Election-Switching: Policy Reversal During 2012, the Comptroller reversed her prior policy on election changes. The Comptroller now allows taxpayers to amend their Texas franchise tax reports to switch to or from the cost of goods sold ( COGS ) or compensation deductions at any time within the statute of limitations. 1 Previously, the Comptroller determined that taxpayers could not file amended reports to change their election after the due date of the report. 2 Many taxpayers believe the Comptroller s prior policy conflicted with the Texas Tax Code and the Comptroller s own tax forms and instructions. Cases Challenge Comptroller Election Policy. Two cases filed in Travis County District Court before the Comptroller s policy change concerned whether taxpayers who initially filed using the E-Z computation form may elect the cost of goods sold deduction. 3 The Comptroller s policy reversal came shortly before the August 20, 2012 jury trial scheduled in one of these cases. District Court Allows Election Change. In the first Texas revised franchise tax case tried in the Travis County District Courts, the taxpayer prevailed in proving it qualified as a temporary employment service, rather than as a professional engineering firm as alleged by the Comptroller. In her order, the trial judge ruled that the taxpayer was entitled to claim the compensation deduction for the wages and benefits of the unassigned workers. The taxpayer had previously claimed the COGS deduction. 4 The district court decided this case prior to the Comptroller s policy change. 1 Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Important Information Concerning Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and Compensation Deduction Elections available at 2 See, E.g., Comptroller Hearing No. 105,037 (Nov. 15, 2011). 3 Bigham Bros., Inc. v. Combs, No. D-1-GN Martens, Todd, Leonard & Taylor represented the plaintiff. Sunbelt Custom Mineral, LLC v. Combs, No. D-1-GN Martens, Todd, Leonard & Taylor represented the plaintiff. 4 Taylor & Hill v. Combs, No. D-1-GN , 53rd District Court, Travis County, Texas, July 7, James Martens and Lacy Leonard with Martens, Todd, Leonard & Taylor tried this case.
7 Page 2 Texas Franchise Tax Recent Developments Example Up until 2013, ABC Oil Company had prepared its Texas franchise tax reports electing to report under the compensation method. It was unaware that the Comptroller treated oil & gas wells as real property and that it would also qualify to elect to report under the COGS method. In March of 2013, ABC Oil Company realized its mistake. As a result of the election switching policy change of 2012, ABC Oil Company was entitled amend its reports to claim COGS deductions (and resulting refunds of overpaid franchise tax) for all reports years then open under the four (4) year statute of limitations. $1 Million Deduction For reports due on or after January 1, 2014, the franchise tax calculation now incorporates the $1 million small entity exemption as a $1 million deduction. An entity s taxable margin is now the lesser of (A) 70% of total revenue or total revenue less $1 million; or (B) total revenue less the greater of (1) $1 million, (2) COGS, or (3) compensation. 5 A taxable entity is not required to pay any franchise tax if the amount of tax computed for the taxable entity is less than $1, As compared with the 30% deduction method, the breakeven point is $3,333,333 of total revenue. At this total revenue amount, the deduction for 30% of revenue equals $1 million. Comment: How do the new $1 million deduction and the tiered reporting rules interrelate? 5 Texas Tax Code (a) eff.
