If your PTA holds a sales tax permit, sales tax returns are due January 20, 2022 to the Texas State Comptroller. The return must be filed if you have a permit, even if you have no sales tax due during the reporting period. The Texas State Comptroller charges a fee for filing late, so be sure to have your return in the mail on time.

Start gathering the information you need to complete the return. If your PTA files quarterly, you’ll need information on sales and taxes collected from October-December. If your PTA files annually, you’ll need sales info for the entire calendar year, January through December, so you’ll need the sales tax info from the second half of the previous fiscal year as well as the first half of this fiscal year.

Treasurers can use this spreadsheet tool to determine sales tax due. Complete this spreadsheet, print and put it in the Treasurer binder with a copy of the sales tax return filed, or a copy of the Comptroller’s website confirmation of filing when filed online.
