Business Personal Property

If you own a business, you are taxed on more than just your building. Tangible assets like furniture and inventory must be reported annually.

In Texas, Business Personal Property (BPP) is tangible property that is used for the production of income. It is taxable regardless of whether you own the building you operate in.

The Trap: Many businesses over-pay because they report assets that are broken, obsolete, or no longer in use. We review your rendition to ensure you aren't taxed on "ghost assets."

What is Taxable?

Furniture & Fixtures

Desks, chairs, shelving units, display cases, and office furniture used in your business operations.

Computers & Electronics

Laptops, servers, copiers, phone systems, and POS terminals. These depreciate quickly, which is a key area for savings.

Inventory & Stock

Raw materials, goods in process, finished goods awaiting sale, and inventory held on consignment.

Vehicles & Heavy Equipment

Company cars, delivery trucks, machinery, and tools. (Even personal tools used for income can be taxed).

Critical Date: January 1st

Tax liability is determined by what you own and where it is located on January 1st of each year. If you move inventory out on Jan 2nd, you are still taxed on it for the full year.

Avoid Serious Penalties

  • Failure to Report: There is a mandatory 10% penalty for failing to file a rendition on time.
  • Tax Evasion: Falsifying a report or omitting assets is considered tax evasion and carries substantial legal penalties.
  • The Solution: Let our attorneys file your rendition accurately and on time to avoid fines while minimizing your tax burden.
