## Content

**Intro:** Missed tax deadlines create penalties and interest that no one budgets for. This worksheet gives you a single editable calendar for federal, Texas and other state filings, with owners and estimated cash needs.

**Sections:**

#### How to use the worksheet

**Body:** Start with the example rows, then add every filing your company has: sales and use tax for each registered state, payroll deposits, state unemployment, property tax renditions, franchise or margin tax, excise tax and income tax installments. Fill in the rule, the next due date and a named owner. Export to Excel and sort by date, or import the dates into a shared team calendar.

#### Texas filings to include

**Body:** Texas companies typically carry a monthly or quarterly sales and use tax return, the annual franchise tax report and public information report due May 15, and county appraisal district property renditions. The sales tax return is due on the 20th following the reporting period for monthly filers. Prepayment rules can apply to larger taxpayers, so check your Comptroller account.

**Bullets:**

- Sales and use tax: monthly, quarterly or annual by assigned frequency
- Franchise tax: annual report due May 15
- Property tax rendition: filed with the appraisal district, typically by April 15
- Unemployment: quarterly report to the Texas Workforce Commission

#### Cash planning

**Body:** The estimated amount column totals the cash required, so treasury can see the heavy months in advance. Months with payroll deposits, estimated income tax and state sales tax often cluster, particularly in the fourth quarter. Update estimates after each close.

**Cta:** If due dates and amounts should come directly from your ERP tax ledger instead of a manual sheet, Netray can discuss a read-only report.

**Faq:**

#### When is Texas franchise tax due?

**Answer:** The annual report is due May 15 each year. When May 15 falls on a weekend or holiday, the due date moves to the next business day. Extensions are available for filing but payment timing rules apply, so confirm with the Comptroller.

#### When is Texas sales tax due?

**Answer:** Monthly filers file and pay by the 20th of the month after the reporting period. Quarterly and annual filers have different due dates tied to their assigned frequency. Late filings incur penalties and interest.

#### Does this calendar include local property tax?

**Answer:** Only if you add it. Property rendition deadlines and payment dates vary by county appraisal district and taxing unit, so each plant location needs its own rows.

#### Can I use it for fiscal-year companies?

**Answer:** Yes, change the due date rules and next due dates to match your fiscal year end. The income tax and estimate rows are the ones that shift.
