The Lone Star State has a New Look for You

Take a deep breath, count to 10…just as you have finally made yourself familiar with the Texas Sales & Use website, things are changing…

Actually, this is good news, because Texas is one of the few states that actually appears to have their business together when it comes to sales and use tax.  So I’m looking forward to this new and improved website!

On August 29, 2016, Texas sent out a mass email to all sales and use tax subscribers alerting them that “A Brand-New Website is Coming Soon!” 

The email indicates that the new website will launch in the coming weeks and will provide the following:

• Access popular features quickly at a one-stop business center on the home page.
• Browse seamlessly for Comptroller content, as many of the agency’s program-specific websites are being consolidated into the main site.
• Find what you need from any page with a powerful, enhanced search function.
• Use any device – tablet, phone – computer to browse the Texas Comptroller website.

Additionally, Texas is now encouraging engagement with its customers and vendors via social media (Facebook and Twitter) indicating that the latest Comptroller news and information needed for doing business in the state will be available via these platforms going forward.

• For additional information on the new Texas Comptroller website and additional features navigate to http://comptroller.texas.gov/. 
• To sign up for email updates and reminders regarding Sales and Use tax from the State Comptroller, navigate to https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/TXCOMPT/subscriber/new?topic_id=TXCOMPT_70 and sign up.
• To connect with the Texas Comptroller on Facebook, search and add Texas Comptroller (https://www.facebook.com/txcomptroller/?hc_ref=SEARCH).
• To follow the Texas Comptroller via Twitter use the Twitter handle @txcomptroller.
