Tax Policy News

Index

The Comptroller's office publishes this online newsletter to keep you informed about Texas taxes. Tax Policy News provides general information and is not legal or professional advice.

Many previous issues of Tax Policy News are no longer provided online since they may contain information that has been superseded or conflicts with current tax law. Articles from these issues that reflect policy for various taxes are still available on our State Tax Automated Research (STAR) System.
