Frequently Asked Questions

What is an excise tax in Texas?

In Texas, an excise tax is a tax applied to specific goods, services, or business activities rather than general retail sales. Common examples include fuel, alcohol, tobacco, motor vehicle rentals, and certain industry-specific activities. Businesses responsible for excise taxes must understand which products are taxable, how rates apply, and when returns or payments are due.
