Texas Jobs Supported by Low Taxes
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Those looking to create Texas jobs by opening a small business now have another reason to do so.
The Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council’s Business Tax Index 2010: Best to Worst State Tax Systems for Entrepreneurship and Small Business report ranked Texas as the second-best state for small business and entrepreneurs. Texas was ranked so high because of the low cost of the state tax system on small businesses.
“Here in the Lone Star State, we have developed an environment that encourages entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams of small business ownership, further strengthening our economy and creating jobs for Texans,” Gov. Rick Perry said. “Thanks to our low taxes, reasonable and predictable regulatory environment and skilled and educated workforce, businesses continue to look to Texas as a place for growth and prosperity.”
